Anonymous Polls for Community Decisions
Community admins and moderators use anonymous polls to make group decisions where members would otherwise feel social pressure to conform to the majority view or avoid conflict with influential voices. Whether it's a neighbourhood association, an online forum, or a local club, anonymous voting produces more honest representation of what the community actually wants than a public show of hands.
Example questions for community decisions
- Should we change the community's posting guidelines?
- How satisfied are you with how the community is being moderated right now?
- Which type of community event would you most like to see organised?
- Should we open the community to new members, or keep it at its current size?
- How would you rate the quality of discussions in the community this month?
Frequently Asked Questions
Do community members need to sign up to vote?
No. Share the link in your community channel, forum, or group chat. Members vote in one tap without creating any new account.
Can the admin see which member voted for what?
No. Only vote counts are visible. Individual members' choices are never revealed, even to admins — which is what produces honest community sentiment rather than safe consensus.
How do I run a poll across my community?
Post the link in your Discord server, Facebook group, forum thread, WhatsApp group, or Slack workspace. Anyone with the link can vote without needing to join a separate platform.
Is it free for community use?
Yes, completely free — no account needed for either the admin or the community members who vote.
