Taking polls about taking polls is odd -- but it makes sense, I promise!

So anyways, since starting the patreon the suggestion polls get the most attention by far... but one question always plagues my mind -- should it be one vote per person, or as many votes per person as they want? So in most polls I make a judgement call that seems pretty easy (like polls with smaller participation or options deserves a single vote per person to prevent ties), but the suggestion polls have lots of people voting and a lot of options -- here are the pros and cons

Single Vote
- Pros - People will think much harder about what they want, and will choose something they prefer specifically as opposed to just a whole bunch of stuff.
- Cons - Say Option-E is your absolute favorite, but Option-A and Option-D are already clearly going to win, might as well pick your favorite from those two options (and everyone else coming in later thinks the same, preventing Option-E from ever gaining traction even though it was a favorite.) In the wise words of Kang 'Go ahead, THROW YOUR VOTE AWAY'

All The Votes!
- Pros - You can break ties in a winner you'd prefer but also pick the options you truly want to win.
- Cons - Everyone can (and does) spam votes everywhere, meaning a winner could simply exist cause everyone with different tastes was slightly above 'meh' levels on it.

I really wish Patreon had a 3 vote limit option, that would by far be my choice!... but alas, they don't (and whenever I request people follow that rule less then half do, effectively penalizing the one's who played fair).

Anyways, I am leaving this up to you guys! which would you prefer for the monthly suggestion polls from now on, single vote or all the votes?

and yes, this is a single vote ;)
