Polls - Let Members Create Them

[RealitY]

I am tired of seeing Sr. mMembers begging to start Polls, members or at least Sr. Members should be able to do so. Let say a certain post count and you can start Polls. Of course if someone abuses the privlage outside of the Lounge in regular areas he would be warned to keep up the content and then have his Poll privlages put on moderation.

Of Course I suggest to decide if this is a good idea we should...

TAKE A POLL.
(I'de start one but I can't)
:P :P

[asmithz]

I think if the Polls do open to everyone. It may start out with dum poll, and overuse. The thing is it will get old quick. So i agree with REALITY.

[RealitY]

I think the Sr. Members here will take this responsibly...
(except maybe a few)
:P :P

YEah like MM. :lol:

Would be interesting to know why? If you would'nt mind :)

[Johnny_B]

Why not make a room just for polls inside the Lounge? :huh:

Nah...

We should have Polls so we can help entertain and educate each other and nOObs, also if it were set to say 2,000 posts or whatever it may encourage people to participate more, after all this board seems thin lately...

[asmithz]

Most other forums, that are just as big, let you create polls. They have no problems and you rarly see them enless theres a reason. I can't say example forum becuase warez is not aloud. :P

[FuNkY CaPrIcOrN]

:D A Forum for Polls and a Forum for Web Development.....personal WebSites. :D


FC B)

[asmithz]

We do not need to open tons of forums.

I do like the idea of a personal WebSites forum, but we have the softwareworld. That would be cool to have a sub-forum in software world where we can extange idea, scripts, and help about personal WebSites. As long as we do not have spammers posted links to there site just for hits. :o

[MUSLEMAN]

emmm lets take a poll for this subject


but realy tho what is the point, no decision will come out of it, so

[Evil Fish]

Well lets say someone want to figure what people like more, norton systemworks, or System Mechanic. All they have to do is make a poll.

:rolleyes: All they have to do is PM a mod.

[Jayhawk]

i like the current setup where we have to ask a mod for a poll. I mean is it really that much work to just pm a mod and be like this is what i want for a poll can it happen?

It doesnt bother me any and i have requested a few polls in my time

[RealitY]

For shit sake even the ES5 Forums let you make Polls...
:huh: :huh:

Thing is it can only help this site, no harm can come from this really.

[asmithz]

You have to PM a mod, make sure there on (or you have to wait), then wait for them to approve it, and just mabey it will become a poll.

[Rappy]

i would like to be able to make polls



yes

Allowing polls would result in a lot of spam posts / questions. Allowing it to Senior members only is NOT an option because 1000 posts doesn&#39;t say anything about a member.

1000 + posts only show that you know this board since a long time but it doesn&#39;t speak for the quality of a members posts. It would also be unfair to new responsible members (like some 30 yo guy / girl which is for sure more serious than a 14 yo senior member). Giving Sr. members more features just makes posts worth more and they are already worth too much (to some people at least).

i know once in a while there are messed up people here but i don&#39;t think its enough to make us not have polls

[7thElement]

It was not an attack against young people cause some 14 yo guys act already like olders. I just don&#39;t want to give people which know this board longer more privileges than new members.

I just think that new members should have the same rights like Sr. members because posts don&#39;t say anything about quality or about a person.

I agree totally with that, but i beleve that polls should be aloud in the Lounge atleast, becuase all it is in there is spam. So there&#39;s no reason to bering up the fact that people would spam it.

that not a bad idea either i mean if a mod feels a poll is worthy of another forum they can just move it ;)

[7thElement]

Well I could name you a few more reasons why the current setup is good.

1.) Mod&#39;s won&#39;t just deny a poll for no reason
2.) Mod&#39;s know if a similar poll does exist already
3.) Some people can&#39;t abuse polls to spam their websites (Ex: What do you think about my latest updates on www.somesite.com
4.) Not every poll idea is really worth a poll (or do you want 100 members to ask "Do you think i&#39;m sexy")

I did never hear about an issue that members did complain about mods not adding a poll which means that our mods do a great job so why change working rules if there are no problems at all.

Good point, i agree. I was just going along with the idea to see if it would happen. I am glad you contribute, and not get get mad at the pestering. :) :beerchug:

[Adster]

no no polls for members it will get insane

and if it happened to be a serious poll outside the lounge it could debate and turn into flame

[asmithz]

How bout we alow the polls, but we get rid of the button, so you wont be able to make a poll. Aleast you know you could if the button was there. :lol: :lol:

We are not a bunch of drunk teenagers for fk sake, and I&#39;m not talking about lowering the drinking age.

Perhaps try it and see what happens, maybe in just the lounge, though it may get out of hand there, but if it doesn&#39;t then my point will truly be made to have it everywhere.

I also think it mat bring a little life back into this forum.

only serious polls - cause if many polls other important
topics can&#39;t be found by users who come in here to get
help on kazaa - and this board also should be:

1.a nice place to share your thoughts openly (an it is&#33;)
2.a place where k-lite users (and kazaa users) can get
fast inormation, I am thinking of the fast loading speed
on my dialup, what makes me happy ;) it is the first
fast loading board php script I see :)

Simple...

Too many or poor content or misplaced.

I imagine most people wouldn&#39;t even use it since it takes more effort than posting.

Yes, I think that members should be allowed to start polls in the Lounge, and if they abuse it then they could be sent a warning.
I have seen many other forums which allow polls, and it&#39;s not as if they get overrun with pointless polls.

I think it is difficult cause each question could be an interesting poll...

But serious polls maybe these where world issues - not private ones -
are asked?

hey he just installer an anti spam thing on the board grr now the gonna mess up our 3 word story he better let us make polls <_<

being able to make a poll would have come in handy here:

with todays members, thats actually not the case. many have over 1,000 posts (sr member) in less than a month of being on the board.

[Illuminati]

To give an example (without bias from others) - ES5&#39;s forums give the ability to post polls to any registered member. Now, you can expect to see roughly one or more polls a day, 90% of which are based on trivial crap. I&#39;d say there&#39;s roughly only a few members who do it though (most notoriously DaDead ;)).

Yet ESV hasn&#39;t really reached the member levels that K-Lite has - So try multiplying that example out to K-Lite&#39;s size <_<

I&#39;d personally say keep the poll abilities firm in only the mods&#39; grips - They would probably be cursing such a "liberation" later when they scrape out most of the pointless polls.

I&#39;d personally say keep the poll abilities firm in only the mods&#39; grips - They would probably be cursing such a "liberation" later when they scrape out most of the pointless polls.

es5 also doesn&#39;t lock topics, delete posts, or put people on moderation for stupid reasons <_<

That may have been true once upon a time but SharPro has shown his true colors.
STFU with your sorry ass ES5 speech because its BULLSHIT and we all know it.
If you wish to continue maybe you should stay there...

That&#39;s my point - It works for ESV because it&#39;s liberal enough to make it work. The K-Lite board has a strong sense of order - How many pointless/multiple/repeating/abusive polls do you think a mod would have to clear out here?

Oh please - SharePro&#39;s still an arsehole when K-Lite gets mentioned <_< Only a small minority pay attention to that ranting any more - And they&#39;re the kind of dicks who think it&#39;s &#39;honourable&#39; to spam other places like it like some kind of bloody jihad.

As for the brainwashed - Well maybe it&#39;s someone else who&#39;s been brainwashed into thinking that all ESV forum members consist either of cult followers and traitors... ;) <_<

Never suggested that as you can vouch for yourself and have shown you have reasonable judgement on this. However there are others that are Brainwashed Monkeys and I am quite tired of Kab rambling about ES5 and how glorious it is, he can go bed down with Welsh and al the others that have empty headed faith in their lord an savior even though he is an ass as you have mentioned yourself...

[asmithz]

I think we should drop it, it has already been answered.

lol well we don&#39;t like the answer

Maybe if they just remove this button:

http://klboard.ath.cx/style_images/winter/t_poll.gif

we won&#39;t be so tempted to even considering making a poll.

[Lamsey]

Right now, you can have a poll started by PMing a mod - they will happily oblige if it is a sensible poll.

If a poll idea&#39;s not sensible enough for a mod to approve it, then it shouldn&#39;t be posted anyway.

thats true...

by the way I like the new skin.

But If we can&#39;t use this feature why have the button there?

If the button gets removed, then the mods can&#39;t see it either, and then there are no polls. Not so good.

[Gutter]

don&#39;t the mods see features we can&#39;t anyways?


yep we do like the edit and delete buttons :lol:

like i showed ^^^ :lol:

polls, just pm a mod,
probably 99,8% of the members will behave but the 0,2% will give us a hard time... ;)
Also i think we will get a lot of redone polls...
Can you imagine how many Matrix polls we would have had.... hmmm i rather not think about that ;)

[Gutter]

:o :lol: ha very funny, but why can&#39;t that poll button just be visable by mods and admin?

Well whenever that .2% gives you a hard time, remember (and remind them of ;)) one thing...

You can put members on moderation :devil:

Not possible with the board software, I&#39;m afraid - unless there is a hack. :unsure:

[tantric]

The "button" could be replaced with a transparent .gif image.

It would still be there, it just wouldn&#39;t show.

see this is what pisses me off.

I dont ramble on about how glorious es5 is, YOU showed it to me and told US how glorious it was back in the day. or don&#39;t you remember?

I barely ever post at this forum for multiple reasons which I wont get into, but people like you (hypocrites etc.) make me want to leave. I still read many posts but hardly ever actually post. at es5, bad posts/threats etc. are kept to one forum. where people like you can post them all over and it&#39;ll get the topic locked or the wrong person moderated.

To much confusion.

Yes I do remember posting about ES5, I guess I should be held responsible for making you a Brainless Monkey then, though I&#39;m sure SharePro helped a little. I also managed to see ES5 and SharePro for what they are with some help from other ES5 members there :blink: . So if you choose to take my advice once, take it again, get the fk out of there, that place is for Paranoid Brainlesss Monkeys. If you have but a bit of brain left GET OUT (I&#39;m screaming now hoping I can get through to the poor child).

As I told you before if you use that crap program because you are worried and paranoid (why else would anyone including myself at one one time) then I will be more than happy to take some time to guide you in other directions that can give you the anonymity your looking for and educate you a little to save your soul, feel free to PM me :) .

However if you wish to continue using ES5 I suggest you tell SharePro your going to stop using ES5, this would cut the user base there by 25% (4 users at the moment if you need me to do the math) :lol: then he will make you a mod to keep you on board. Shit at least you&#39;ll have the same privlages Welsh has... :P

Also as far as topics being locked anyone that can or wishes may lock this one unless you further choose to debate the issue, however I had a very nice conversation with @7th who made his point well understood to me and I think leaving it the way it is is fine by me.

Oh and if you wish to leave this board, believe me you won&#39;t be missed.

Goodbye.

LOL, if you guys posting above me can&#39;t even stay on topic in a discussion of polls, how do you think the actual polling ability will fare :lol:

I vote no. PM a mod, it&#39;s not hard and I have done it successfully myself.

Look here (http://klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=19813&hl=) and add your vote :D

Why are you getting so angry?

I never did anything to you, and you&#39;re flaming me like crazy.

I don&#39;t want your advice on how to be anonymous, because I probably know more about it than you.

I&#39;m sure your conversation w/ 7th made you feel superior. And your final comment was fairly aggressive. I&#39;m sorry you feel this way about me, I don&#39;t know where all your hostility comes from. But whatever is going wrong at home, I hope it becomes better and you can stop ranting. :)

My Mom won&#39;t STOP yelling at me...

Can I move in with you and Welsh n SharePro...
:lol: :lol: :P :P

EDIT: After a little though I figured I&#39;de mention that I probably would rant at anyone promoting how great their forums and program is since I found it really offensive reading the threats that SharePro made and then tried to cover up by deleting his own post, not to mention all the lies and twisted crap he has spewed since. If you care to admit hes an ass such as Illum has and that you just want to use the program for whatever reason then so be it. Though please do not glorify that twit or try to suggest that they have a wonderful forum, or even try to compare it to here. Point is SharePro always appeard very nice to me but when someone gets upset you get to see their true colors and he came fkin unglued. After all he is ur spokesman ain&#39;t he...
