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.
