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.

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.
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?
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.

[vivitron 15]

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...

How would you suggest determining seniority nigel?

Would it be based on join date, or post count?

Neither of those are very meaningful.

[Livy]

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.

[thewizeard]

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.
