+chizu Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 How about the chance to post polls on forums (either for premium members only, admin only or everyone)? Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) I think they found that polls posted by the general public tended to have choices that were bent towards a point someone was trying to make. Too much angst, so they got rid of it. Edited August 24, 2006 by BlueDeuce Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 See "Why Can't I Start a Poll?" in the FAQ thread that's pinned at the top of the Getting Started Forum. Link to comment
+cache_test_dummies Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Too much angst, so they got rid of it. Quick poll. Pick one: a) I like it when there is lots of angst in the forums There is no angst in the forums [Please don't really respond to this poll. Polls are not allowed in the forums without prior approval, and I haven't finished filling out the paperwork yet.] Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 See "Why Can't I Start a Poll?" in the FAQ thread that's pinned at the top of the Getting Started Forum. Oh yeah, I forgot that one was in there. Guess I should read through that thing myself one of these days! Link to comment
+Prime Suspect Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 It was being abused quite a lot. Not so much in generating angst, as people creating frivilous polls just because they could. And of course, they couldn't resist including the cutsie poll responses: All of the above None of the above I don't know. I just like to vote in polls That sort of thing. Like the "ha, ha, it's too easy for a hint" hints, it got old real fast. Link to comment
