Most people here are probably already aware of the situation on Reddit. This is a thread to discuss it here.
Are you/they planning to add them together against the “stay open” option again too? From what your saying the “open” option would have won already in the previous vote.

No. Why would I do that? Since contest mode allows voting for multiple options, that would result in some people getting two votes.

You don’t know how I wanted the poll to go. It absolutely wasn’t clear how it would go at the time of the edit; about 150 votes had been cast at the time compared to an eventual 2200.
