What is HaleLog?
HaleLog is a public platform that publishes one question every 24 hours to capture community sentiment at a specific moment in time.
Each poll:
- Is open for exactly 24 hours
- Accepts one vote per person
- Publishes results only after closing
- Is archived permanently
HaleLog is designed to record opinions — not to influence or debate them.
How voting works
- A single public question is published daily.
- You select one of the available options.
- Your vote is recorded and locked.
- Results are revealed only after the poll closes.
- The poll is archived as a historical snapshot.
- Votes cannot be changed once submitted.
Why results are hidden until closing
Results are intentionally hidden during the voting period to:
- Prevent herd behavior
- Reduce social pressure
- Preserve independent judgment
This ensures that each vote reflects the voter’s own perspective.
One vote per person
HaleLog enforces a strict one vote per person, per poll rule.
This may involve:
- Anonymous identifiers
- Session controls
- Abuse-prevention mechanisms
Any attempt to bypass this rule may result in vote invalidation or access restriction.
Archived polls
Once a poll closes:
- It becomes read-only
- Results are publicly visible
- It remains accessible in the Archive indefinitely
Archived polls represent how people responded at that specific time, not a permanent truth.
Neutrality
- HaleLog is neutral by design.
- Questions are not endorsements.
- Results reflect aggregated responses only.
- HaleLog does not promote any viewpoint or agenda.
