Sharky Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 This forum is great and the best in the world even that we Cannot create Polls like lots of other forums allow. The advantage of Polls is that when you ask a Question like... Favourite Atari 2600 Model? or WHos Better? ACTIVISION or IMAGIC ? or SEGA vs NINTENDO etc,etc,etc. Those questions have to be asked out without Polls and so many dont have to replie or when ppl do replie you have to read about 5 pages worth. And it saves a lot of time and you get more response if you simply vote on a Poll instead or having to reply to a topic just to say err YES or NO or ACTIVISION or IMAGIC. Some ppl would Vote and if they had a good reason why that voted so they can reply too. Oh well.. Maybe this may happen soon in the not too long Future....

Nukey Shay Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Polls suck bad...that's why they were kinda voted out when these new boards went online. The mods still retain the ability to create polls, though. Giving all users the ability would inevitabley degenerate into polls of shoe sizes and even less meaningful drivel. Size 7 1/2, BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 I suggested something like anybody should be allowed one poll per e.g. 1000 posts. This would be IMO a good compromise. But I don't know if the board software can handle that limitation automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well some Polls can suck bad but that reason would be that some Users could abuse them a bit. Like silly Polls or Pointless Polls. Or Topics that could certainly of done without the Poll. But sometimes you get very Interesting Polls I suggested something like anybody should be allowed one poll per e.g. 1000 posts. You can a good Point there Thomas. Something like that. I would prefer 1 Poll ever 100 posts, then we wont get any pointless/useless polls from some users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
