We have to put in a subject title for the thread, but it never even shows up. I hope this gets fixed.

It's so that polls with stupid questions aren't hidden by good titles.

Yes, he speaks the truth. It makes things easier for the ninjas and is not an error at all.

but if its like
[original title] Is the warthog over powered?
[poll title] yes or no
then you got a topic named yes or no.

Its best to include a little description with your poll so that folks can understand your reasoning behind gathering that information. Do this and you don't have to worry about titles changing on you.

If a person is trying to hide a poll question with a good title, they can simply post the title they want to show up in the poll title box. Granted, only people who know how this works will know to do that.

This was deliberate to stop 'bait 'n' switch' polls.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Yeah... there used to be threads like:

Subject: Do you actually like Halo 2?

Poll: Don't you think Halo 2 sucks?

So there would be confusion about whether to answer the title or the poll, and it made a mostly pointless poll into a completely useless poll.
