Should bias poll's be banned on the forums? I personally hate it whens someone makes it and then the entire thread becomes spam when everyone complains about the poll.

(also, yes I made the poll bias on purpose, just an example of what I meant)

Depends on if there is still discussion value.

No because you don't HAVE to vote and you can still express your opinion via posting.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

Aren't they already locked? Doing it excessively can be seen as spam, which is already bannable.

Banning someone for a biased poll is excessive. If a poll is really bad then it can be locked. There is no need for anything more.

For those looking to vent, get proper advice, or give it to those in need.

You mean when someone says "Choose which is best" and all the options are the same? That's spam if you ask me. Lock it for sure. Maybe a ban depending on the member's record.

  • 09.20.2011 4:51 PM PDT

Stop banning me please.

Absolutely.

But the mods need to be fair.

When they are incrediably stupid that is when the mods neexd to step in

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

It should be locked and then the author should receive a warning.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Depending on how biased a poll is, I might lock it and issue a warning. If it's something silly, such as the biased poll in the OP of this thread, who cares? But depending on the topic beng discussed, a biased poll can derail a thread before it even gets going or result in flaming, and it is those situations I seek to avoid.

What's considered "silly?" When is it appropriate to make biased polls?

Think about it. If your illustrating a point, such as the OP did, or maybe a joke. It seems more of a grey area then a clear night and day occasion. If your really unsure spam (erm I mean PM) a mod and ask. No harm in doing that.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Hypocrites should also be banned.

Pretty much this. Having a biased poll in most cases is considered spam.

*looks at the poll*

I see what you did there.... you silly goose.
