Balamm for president!
A vote of "No" from me, I think the Mods have enough difficulties chasing spam, and the ability for everyone to add polls will just add to it
no...90% of the polls would be garbage
like what should i have for supper? should i kill my self?
No for many reasons people will reply to it for nothing sometimes jsut to reply it will turn into spam
we don't need stupid Polls like what your favourite flaver Carmal or Chocklate".
also it will lead to flame wars like X BOX v PS2 ect
uhhh.....don't we have those already? :P :P :P :P :PQuote:

Nah thats not a good idea to allow non-mod to start polls. Only more absurd things to show up on this forum! I think we have those enough :)
That's true. But have you seen the ketchup thread? :lol:Quote:

Seriously if people could start unlimited polls they would abuse it. But if we were allowed to start them but with restrictions, I think it could work. For instance, letting people start them only once a week or something.
I voted for the right to start a poll. In my opinion a member should only be able to start a poll once a month(for example) Also after a certain time it should close. (a week?)
Hmmmm.....Quote:

How 'bout we restrict it so that the poll can only be started after you request it from a mod??? http://members.roadfly.com/tite-wad/idea.gif
:o Oh.....
Nevermind then. :P
Nope. I could go on as to why, but it's fairly obvious. ;)
:ninja:
Of course one should only be allowed to vote once. I looked to see how many votes had been cast and noticed I could vote again! I did not of course.
Balamm there is something wrong with the poll.
what's wrong with that?Quote:

That's a good point, tite-wad. These days you can't be sure of anything. I have had a lot of trouble reaching the forum today. After posting everything seems to freeze up. If I go to look at another post I get a message that it can't find the page I'm looking for. So the answer is, "Who knows".
In any case I don't believe they will ever allow the members to start their own polls.
Well, with the board screwing up so bad, maybe it forgot your vote ?
It looks ok here but the server has been kicking me all night with "database not found" errors and "too many connections" with only 150 or so logged in.
i voted no....i think there is gonna be more flaming then :(

Hey Lamsey, welcome to the world of the 18+!
What do you mean? It's not possible for members to start a poll? If that's what you mean then this poll is only theoretical and rather pointless.
No, I mean it's impossible to put limitations on the polls -
------> not possible.Quote:

well then what limitaions are left besides the ones that are there now?
Well i voted no, if you want to have a poll just ask a mod... If the poll request is normal (s)he will grant it.. :)
I voted NO, there will be so many useless polls if members are allowed to start polls.
If You have an idea of a poll just ask a moderator.
BOT
Normal...hmmm......jetje the ketchup related threads were somewhat strange to me. What is normal? Can you give me a definition because I think some people might be hesitant to bother a mod about a poll and they don't even know what will be accepted. What is normal? I guess its "something that won't offend" but I could be wrong.
Jetje, the moderators already have the "right" to start a poll. Perhaps it would be better if only the "normal" members vote in this poll.
If the yes votes exceed the no votes will there be a change?
I think the "ketchup polls" were abberations - occasionally mods need to have some fun too. :DQuote:

However, IMO we'd be seeing that sort of thing on a regular basis if anyone who wanted to start a poll was allowed to.
Well 1st of all i'm just a member like all of you, only thing i edit more into the board as you all is the fact i sometimes keep running around the board cleaning up.
And blow some forrest fires out.. Really mods are no more no less then ordinary members... ;) So why can't we participate in these board issues?
Well the Ketchup, i can imagine someone that missed it at that time don't know what it's all about, same goes if we start talking 'bout TRX wars etc.... :D
About if the poll is succesfull, do we implant it... ??
Well think if the majority is in favor we'll discuss it with admins and mods.. ofcourse take the outcome of the poll with us in that debate, in the end it will be a decission made by VB. B)
I voted no.
Enough problems with some members already without adding to it by allowing anyone to start polls.
:w00t: Please elaborate!Quote:

j/k :P
NO!
Ok Jetje I take you point, at the moment there are a few members thinking that polling would be abused. Why not try a trial period to see if that really happens. Oh and yes, could you change the colour of the poll envelopes from green, to a more pleasing tomato red?
So members should be given the option to make posts, eh?
How about we make all members mods?
Close down the forum and shoot the owner.
Would THAT please you? :P
Seriously though - Some members are already proving it a bad idea by abusing posts already.
If members cannot be sensible with their posts in general, then polls are going to be abused just as much if not more.
Until such posts are ceased, I am fully against members being able to post polls?
What was wrong with asking mods to do polls in the first place? :P
Jetje just for the record I would like to say I knew the ketchup thing was a lighthearted joke I only mentioned it because you said "normal" and I was wondering what qualified as normal. Some funny things came out of the ketchup threads btw does anyone have the "think-about-the-kittens" pic from the "present for bender" thread? It was posted by kRayzzed and the link is now broken.

Well, at the moment apparently about twice as many think it's a bad idea rather than good.

I'm sure you really wanted to say ketchup red didn't you. :P
It was a risk that I didn't want to take, but now you mention it, yes.
I thought I smelled a faint hint of tomato and vinegar on your breath. :devil:
Hey, that pic is mine! :angry:Quote:

I had it as my signature for months (well, weeks) and gained great popularity with it. :lol:
No to members starting polls; the "bad" members would spoil it for the good ones.
If you want a poll, please PM a Mod or request it in a post, like Ron did with the ketchup poll. :)
bender just post it I won't use it on this forum! duh! I went to ianai.net/jokes and all i saw was an einstein riddle :lol:
:rolleyes: I can't believe that ketchup issue is still around. It was stupid then, and it's stupid now. ;)
:ninja:
only in lounge shall we be able to strat polls
