Should Non-mods Be Able To......

[thewizeard]

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?

[Illuminati]

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?

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?

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&#39;s a bad idea rather than good.

I&#39;m sure you really wanted to say ketchup red didn&#39;t you.

[thewizeard]

It was a risk that I didn&#39;t want to take, but now you mention it, yes.

I thought I smelled a faint hint of tomato and vinegar on your breath.

Hey, that pic is mine&#33;
I had it as my signature for months (well, weeks) and gained great popularity with it.




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&#39;t use it on this forum&#33; duh&#33; I went to ianai.net/jokes and all i saw was an einstein riddle

[MagicNakor]

I can&#39;t believe that ketchup issue is still around. It was stupid then, and it&#39;s stupid now.
