Income Level of Dopers [Public Poll]

I voted before I knew it was public, too, though I don’t really care. It’s still shitty.

Yes, but that’s 40,442,835 Nigerian naira…

Do scammers read these income polls?

I think there is a big difference in income from 100K-250K. The poll should really have made two categories of that. 100-175 and 176-250. Just my opinion.

“millionare” usually refers to assets owned. The poll is regarding salary.

In my area, the latter lives in a slightly larger one bedroom appartment. It’s tough living in NYC on hudreds of thousands of dollars a year.

I don’t see an option to edit the poll to make it private. If Qin requests, I could close this thread and someone can start a new one.
ETA: I added “Public Poll” to the thread title

. . . but it’s not public information as to if I’m including income before or after tax, donations, alimony, childcare, government hush money, blackmail, ransoms, and off-shore account interest.

Ditto!!!

I realize that those of us who didn’t realize it was a public poll should have been more diligent before participating, but isn’t this a valid reason to remove a thread rather than just close it?

Since a number of people have said they voted without realizing it was a public poll, could the thread title at least be changed to say that it is a public poll?

We all know he’s not coming back around, that’s not how he operates.

I see mods close threads on pretty flimsy excuses, pretty regularly.

I’m not seeing any pressing reason that this should remain open, when responders have already acknowledged they would not have voted had they realized it was a public poll.

Who’s going to object, do they imagine?

I didn’t realize it was a public poll when I voted earlier. I would not have participated had I seen that.

I could care less that it’s public, but I would like to note that I chose the wrong box since he meant household rather than individual. I need to be bumped up a block.

No vote, public.

Yeah, this is BS being all public and what not. Now everyone knows I make 14 billion dollars a month.

I’m not terribly concerned about the fact that it’s a public poll. I don’t know you and you don’t know me, and I’ve revealed much more personal stuff on these boards.

True. I’m not insulted that it’s public. I just don’t reveal those things in general. Maybe it is a matter of conditioning. To me it’s just rude to ask. Even though if you knew my name you can find my salary on a state database.

Weird. I don’t see RandRover complaining about a public poll in which he’s earning in the top bracket…

Can I unvote?
Never knew polls COULD be public on here.
Barring that, could I ask to have this thread killed or hidden?

I don’t normally point out typos, but this one did make me smile. I don’t answer pubic polls either. :smiley:

Yeah, that’s awesome! ‘Pole’ was totally misspelled!
