We need more poll...

I'm an active poster on a website called Tacomaworld.com and when starting a new thread, it gives the option to post a poll. I think this would be effective for better posting. It would give lurkers something to do besides post. It provides instant results to a question someone might be asking. It is also a very quick way to share your opinion without a paragraph long explanation, unless you feel obligated. It's quick, it's easy, and it's fun.

Support, as long as you are able to post on the poll thread as well.

I like the idea, as long as admins are quick to give the ban hammer to anyone who uses it as an obvious troll.
And not like a warning either, just a straight up ban.

Only if you had the option to give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. And if a poll got too many thumbs down too quickly, it disappears.
Actually, that might be a good idea for every post on the SEC Rant.

Totally agree with this. Thumb ups/downs would offset each other and result in a total score. Comment gets to a certain negative point value and it gets hidden.

It might even be a good idea to just experiment on that option with entire threads at first. Shitty thread? Thumb it down, you don't have to bug admins for an anchor.

Sounds too complicated IMO

Nah, just a thumbs up and thumbs down button on every new thread. If it gets way more thumbs down then up, it vanishes into the deep web.

Sounds good in theory but we all know a few idiots would frick it up

Best thing I can compare it to is myconfinedspace. They usually take care of dumbass comments quickly.

Oh god...As much as I would like that, it would get abused so bad. Needs to be some sort of system/regulation if it happens..
