Nope, there is nothing stopping anyone PMing a Mod.
If its too easy, then every other thread will be a poll.

Allowing Non-Mods to make polls will bring more pointless spam onto the board.
There should be a Poll forum seperate from all of the other forums, if everyone is so desperate for a poll.
Just pick your MOD wisely.
Some MODs tend to ignore reality, and manipulate polls the Florida way....... <_<
some mods r cool u kno who u r ;)
Methinks you're a bit pissed the polls went neither your way or the highway :DQuote:

I trust the mods to be impartial in everything they do, including this matter of the ketchup debate :P (Yes, I'm in the KLLF's payroll :devil:)
Not my way?
You might want to take another look at it then.
The KLLF was CRUSHED!!!!
NOBODY with an IQ over 25 wants ketchup on their pasta.
But of course the KLLF tend to deny that fact, and run things the "commie" way. :P
Dear, naive Ron. Tell me, do you think you can claim the KLLF crushed when you haven't captured the ringleaders? And then put them in a crusher? :P
Take a look around Ron - P2P is pretty much communism :D Not Russian communism, but still communism (One thing I don't get - Why do Americans always associate communism with Russia? :huh:)Quote:

God bless Karl Marx :D
I voted NO,
Because there will be a rage a Poll starting Spammers, that will create a Poll about anything that pop into their minds.
Please don't enable this..
Rocktron
Spammers have minds??? :blink:
Well I voted yes. There's enough crap on this forum (the lounge) already, making polls won't make any difference.
What's the difference between "the official i'm going to bed now thread" and a poll about the advantages of Burger King about McDonald's? At least the poll would be slightly more interesting.
I can't believe everyone voted NO, so I guess it's a moot point now anyway. :( If it was ever going to be done, it would have been done months ago.
I voted NO
I don't want to see 287662894768928962897628 polls :
Am i cool?
Options :
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
I think it is okay but after round 300 posts you may start a poll that is cool!
The current Invision Power Board build won't allow poll rights to be automatically added after reaching a number of posts.Quote:

The only way around it would be for members, upon reaching a number of posts, to be moved into another user group which had poll creation rights - And considering that it'd have to be manual, the hassle would be too much.
Sorry - Can't be done that way :(
The board software doesn't allow that - it's everybody or nobody. ;)Quote:

The problem with the 'everybody' option is that the board would be spammed with useless polls (in the past it was possible, but the Admins had to disable the option).
Now tell me geitje, what poll would you like to see? :D
You can send me a PM (Personal Message) or post it here (not promissing anything though).
@ Illuminanti,
Not a bad idea though - for senior members only.
it is possible to automatically "promote" people to a different user group after a certain number of posts using the software, so that is actually a fairly good idea.
...and i voted Yes, but i think it should only be in the lounge which is full of crap anyway. if people post rubbish polls, then people will ignore them, and theyll disappear into ovlivion, like the people who post rubbish threads now...the only difference is that these threads will have a ticky box at the top.
My opinion is changed now i think maybe... :ph34r:
:huh: How would you suggest determining seniority nigel?Quote:

Would it be based on join date, or post count?
Neither of those are very meaningful. <_<
yes, but only in the lounge,
also if its possible only after a certain ammount of posts aswell, so newbies learn the rules before we get millions of polls.
Well you could add up all the posts and then subtract the posts made in the lounge, calculate the square root, double it, add the age of the member, divide by 3, Go to your logarithm table with this number, note the first number that you started with, go to your logarithm table, check this number out, add these numbers together, go to your antilogarithm table, write this number down then do the same for each member. It would be quite simple really.
@edit: exclude all bolognese lovers....
@nigel123 : :lol: :lol: is all i can say
I voted yes. Hope i contributed to more silly-ass topics containing nonsense.
Damn!
And me here without a slide-rule.
Bugger! :angry:
Has everyone voted?
If the final answer is yes
33.33% Polls by Tom, Dick and Harry each. :D
Yes
Well, once again I voted YES on this subject. I see no reason why users can post a stupid, pointless topic in the Lounge, yet they can't start a stupid, pointless POLL. If it's as good enough topic, people will respond to it; if it's spam it'll be ignored and drop to the bottom of the topic list.
If the Mods are that worried about it causing trouble, then why not create a temporary 'Polls' sub-forum under the Lounge just to try it out for a while.
wow, look how close it is. i voted no because therell be too many crappy ones.
You mean like this one did till nigel decided to pull it back out of the garbage? :rolleyes:Quote:

There is a lot more where this one came from........
True - and they are all just as much shite as this one.
It's neck on neck, and if you take away the votes of the mod's who already have the right to start polls, then I think the yes vote would be probably be leading!
ivoted yes we should be able to start polls a forum wouldnt be good without polls
it lets people give their opinion without replying
People seem to do that already...Quote:

Oh wait, without replying...
Trust me, not replying is generally the best idea.
But I'd say yes, because 90% of the posts already are idiotic (75% of which I took part in drawing down to my personal hell) and allowing non-mods to use polls probably wouldn't change much.
It may also improve Scribblec's chances of visiting a small rectangular box, made of wood, and buried six feet under the ground.
90% of your posts! :DQuote:
