I myself though didn't know of this, but then I've never had to create or come up with a Poll.

i just added a poll to one of my threads and could not edit it after it was done.

Just added a Poll to this thread. I have no ability to change it now.

So looks like any one can add a poll to their thread but if they need it edited that's still a job for the moderators.

I know now that I can add polls, but I didn't know before this thread. So since the poll question is asking Did you know...? (i.e. in the past tense), I voted no.

Since editing of polls allows for changing of the numbers voted, I left that as a Staff-only ability... but like it has been mentioned, if on the off-chance you made a mistake, just get onto a staffmember to fix it.
It's a bit of a hassle, but mistakes rarely happen (as people are careful), so shouldn't be needed often.
