Title: Useless Polls
Post by: unnbrellas on October 19, 2013, 02:50:36 pm

Has anyone else noticed that a lot of people abuse the poll feature? Especially in the help section, I've noticed a lot of useless polls. Now I don't mean polls like "Do you think this is a cool idea?" or "Is my art good?" I mean polls like ".........." and "Y MY FH NO WRKS????". Doesn't anyone else notice these or am I the only one who is bothered by these?

I also notice them quite often. But I guess people make them because except clicking to "New Topic" They prefer to click "Post New Poll"
But if you notice those pointless polls you could always remind that poll maker to not make pointless polls.
But it doesn't bother me that much so I just won't go raging on it XD.

It doesn't bother me at all, but I tend to warn those that make polls with no reason whatsoever.

I've noticed this and it does annoy me a bit. But there's not much you can do; there's no way to stop people making pointless polls. Just have to politely ask them not to do it, since they don't have much of a purpose.

I see this sometimes, and it gets quite annoying in my opinion. I sometimes see this on the help threads:
Vote: Will you help?
YESSSS.

No.

:I Why would anyone vote/start a poll like this?

It doesn't bother me, but I also don't see the point in it. It's a bit ridiculous. :I

I would tell them not to, but when its on the help threads and stuff, I don't like telling them off without trying to help a little bit....

This does get annoying sometimes especially on Help threads. When I clicked on one I noticed they put a poll like: Options: ...|...|...|...|...|... - with no point in them. So I just merely told them to please not post pointless polls. Personally, most people post pointless polls in the Help threads like: "Will you help me? Options: Yes|No" or: "WHY DOESN'T FERAL HEART WORK ON MY COMPUTER?!!! Options: Because it doesn't|Just don't play it".

Attention or just don't understand the meaning of the word 'poll'?

... I tend to see polls of the usual nature.

You know:

I agree
I slightly agree
I am neutral
I dislike this
I strongly disagree

Not exactly like that but in the usual poll format with the usual poll options. These useless polls sound annoying, but I haven't seen many of them. They aren't as common as, say, the 'WHAT IS A FLOOF-O-METRE???' threads for example. *facedesk*
