Hi Mark, We have just had Community System licence this week and I tried the community poll on a 7.1 test server. I found that with Opinion Poll (sorry I made mistake in referring it as option poll in my previous message), a respondent can see all the opinions being submitted before taking his/her poll. If it is Multiple Question Poll, then the respondent can only see the voting result after submit his/her vote. We thought that revealing survey result before survey is closed could have undue influence on the survey process, even if the result is revealed to individual respondents after voting because the rolling result can be passed to other voters who are still to cast their votes. The problem with only one poll in a module is that the respondent will need to click submit/Ok button for each survey question. We thought this might reduce the rate of successful submission besides being user unfriendly.

So I don't think your point 2 is a concern (unless it's changed in latest versions that I haven't tried). Point 1 is still the case I believe, if that is a problem for you.
