Should the number of polls be limited?

hehe yeah.

they are kind of a cheap thrill. fun to goof off with, then not so interesting anymore.

i think we will see little spikes in poll activity over time, but not a consistent high level.

i dont have my polling data in front of me to back these assertions yet, but I will be prepared to present it to you in short order.

I think it really depends on the question the poll is asking.

If you go back through the polls, you'll see some get a huge response, and some get next to no response. For example, both of the polls about guilds on Veeshan got over 200 unique votes. The poll about shaving ones unit got a high number as well.

The problem isn't the polls, it's the fact that anyone can create a poll.
Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.

Sex polls are a lock to get high results. Vegitarian polls are more challenging albiet a little specialized :!:

if posting of silly polls on messageboards makes your blood pressure rise, then the subject of this poll is not the issue that should be at hand.

It's almost like all these poll starters are crying out in a holiday plea for Searyx to come give them some more poles to vote on. Because as we all know, Searyx = king of pole (smokers).
