Poll: Why aren't members allowed to create their own polls?

[Ricochet J]

Out of curiosity off course.

 

[james.miller]

beacause of the huge amount of crap it would likely produce

 

[lemonkettaz]

Even more crap would be posted....

Should I use the upstairs toilet or downstairs toilet? Poll please

 

[Ricochet J]

Any crap threads are dealt with quickly by dons anyway.

 

[V4NT0M]

I think members with x amount of posts should be able to

yeah but why create extra work? it doesnt take much to ask ' can this be turned in to a poll please?'

 

[Ricochet J]

Same argument can be used. Take the workload off the dons and create the poll yourself?

I've always wondered this...
Should be able to - Whenever I've wanted to post a poll - by the time a don puts the poll up, the discussion is practically over

I've found this too.

This seems a valid suggestion.

Downstairs.

I think we should have a poll to decide

Something like:

Members can create a poll
only members with 1000+ posts
Not allowed

i cant see that. look on forums where self polls are allowed, you get so much rubbish. The idea that you cant do it yourself would already put of most people from asking in the first place imo, i know it would me.

I'm registered on two other forums. I don't post there but read and lurk around. The poll pendamic isn't a problem there. And those forums aren't what I would call "small". SSC and MSFN.

Because we would probably despair over some of the polls - "what colour shirt should i wear tonight?", "whose hotter, Lilo Lill or Aunty Wainwright?" etc

 

[D D Danneh]

It's all good, but then you get the polloholics posting crap like "who is better magick or dvdbunny?"

Plus when the mods make polls, people get banned

But people post that **** without polls anyway

 

[Greenlizard0]

I'm in agreement with the polls allowed after a certain amount of posts. Would be good that.

 

[Ricochet J]

Over 10,000 posts perhaps?

 

[MikeHunt79]

^ Sounds good to me.

I'm sure the options on the poll would be rather pointless, I imagine "mustard" would be an option no matter what the pole...
