Allowing users to start polls, but not edit them

Is there a way to set permissions such that regular users can start polls but not edit them?

This would be really appreciated feature. All thou I trust my users, the ability to edit polls is also just some what comfusing to many of them and un needed.

It's probably not a good idea to give members permissions to create polls with this plugin, as a big security flaw was just raised: http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/20583/is-anyone-concerned-about-this-has-this-been-tested

@Cerealek‌ @peregrine‌ I discover that poll permission if set to 'manage' for members role, all members can edit, reset or delete polls that are not created by them. Could somewhat help out.
