I'm suggesting that polls cannot be started until the poster has some posts under their belt and not 5 poss like links or signatures, a more significant amount of posts imo would be wise. We all know the mods are busy enough, do they need to have even more on their plate?
I do not think polls should be stopped, they are amusing and may offer some real values (but not very often) and I am in no way calling any single member a troll...I'm just pointing out that they could be used by those with nothing better to do than stir up trouble...of course I fully expect a bunch of'joke' polls as a result of this (which wont bug me)
..but I hope my point gets across, whether the powers that be agree or not...just my 1.2 cents
