Who knows, unless the poll really isn't "anonymous". [I expect that by now there is actually a genuine majority (of the minority of FTers which cared to vote) that does support their own idea of what they wish/dream this "like" feature to be.]
That said, this is FT -- where playing games even with reputation features for dissing FT member birthdays has had a history, a history disbelieved at first but confirmed nonetheless. Even the RBPs have been gamed on FT.
Have more FT members voted for this poll now than did in at least one of the last four TB general elections? Yes. At least we have more member engagement with TB in some form.
