Poll-ution
I know I am not the only one who dislikes the polls...but at least I know why I don't and am interested in finding out what others think and perhaps we can stop the insanity.
1-Necessity Do we really need a poll for this? I find it more and more that the polls themselves are totally not neccessary and as I have discussed with several folks including Jexik the other day that ther subject in itself may be a great thread or conversation item but the poll itself is not needed and often turns people ofdf of the whole thing. 2-Incomplete Poll We have all seen it. Someone asks a question and then leaves an obvious choice out. Like "Which General is the Best?" and then only gives 4 choices. There are no do-overs on the polls so make sure it is right when before you submit it. Same goes for typos, misspellings and text message abbreviations. 3-Unoriginal This one drives people the most crazy...if you are thinking of making a poll you should try and search first because 95% of the time someone else already did it. 4-Binary There are only certain instances where a Binary Poll is warranted. For example...The Arkansas Scapers want to find out which of 2 Saturdays are better for their next tournament...etc. Where it usually gets used is in the example "What do you think of my army?" 1-It Rocks 2-It Sucks 5-Reduntancy within Ok you voted in the poll but unless you have something to add to the actual discussion do not post simply "I picked #3!!". It drives me nuts...it's like walking up to someone with an ice cream cone and saying "I got an ice cream cone" I see it sherlock!!! Ok I feel better now. |

Re: Poll-ution
I think we need a poll to decide whether we like polls or not.

Re: Poll-ution
I voted for #3, but one and two are good picks too...

Re: Poll-ution
It all depends on what the polls are for; if it for a custom constest thing ( like Lief's contest) then I like knowing what the majority likes/what they think is best. If it is something like this thread I think it is just about useless and should not have been made. Just my opinion. I didnt vote, because it isnt worth my time to pick one of the 5 posts.

I like polls when used in 2 ways.
