I think that it was unintended, but it has real benefit.
By making the poll question the post's subject line, it allows members to see the question and avoids a lot of bait and switch polls.
Then why have a subject line for polls in the first place?
Because they are an extension of threads. All threads must have a subject line.
Here's the scenario of the alternate method, if the subject line for the poll were not the poll question.
I could make a poll and entitle the thread it "Are you a good gamer?" And then for the actual poll ask "well are you?" with a yes and no answer.
30 people respond to the poll answering yes and posting that they agree.
I then edit the subject line (because subject lines can be edited, poll questions cannot) to read, "Are you a momma's boy?" The poll question remains "well are you?" and the results show that everyone loves their mom.I am totally doing that!
