Polls?

Thats something that has been annoying me, why cant we post polls????

I know that a whole load of polls would be all over the place but u could restrict it to mabye 3 polls per forum and you are only alowed to post one poll at a time.

Think about it, whats the best ship poll? whats the worst lookin ship? the list goes on and on.

Can u even allow post one poll at a time.

Think about it, whats the best ship poll? whats the worst lookin ship? the list goes on and on.

Can u even allow the admins to create polls? and mabye, if the admins are kind, we could ask them for specific polls?

Can you please allow polls?

Also, one idea is to sticky polls like, the best ship or the best planet etc etc.

Polls tend to lead to both spamming, and heated/flaming when they get into the "Best ship" types, which will happen, despite promisis not to. Polls also, are not discussions where you would have meaningful and thought out responces. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice but what if u locked the posting and only allowed voting?

Been done. It's just a way for people to boost their spam count, sorry I meant post count...

Yes, in fact polls are the spammiest topics ever. ( I researched it)
The typical "poll"'s
spam to post ratio is
3:1

but they cant spam if they cant reply. is it possible to lock replying but still allow people to vote?

no, because the forum code doesn't have the ability to include polls! If it did, then you would have seen one by now
No, we cannot include it.

Hopefully that answers your question
