Subject: Polls damage discussion in threads.

I think it's always going to result in less posts, but It's possible that it improves post quality because it filters out a lot of people who don't have anything interesting to say.

Nobody wants to read a load of "yeah I agree" or "no you're stupid" posts, and and a result the poll leaves you with posters who actually feel the need to back up their opinion.

Racism isn't wrong if it's funny.

The polls seems to work fine for me. It's just a matter of creating a poll that is interesting to enough people to warrant a discussion.

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."

If you want to voice your opinion, but that topic is rather bad and would lead to trouble, then just vote and don't reply.

However, this is abused and poll threads can get hundreds of votes, but less than 50 replies.

They key is to create a poll so a user can't just vote without expressing their opinion. That would generate discussion, but not in a "spammy" way. You always have users that don't care to fully expresses their opinions anyways and that will never change.

The most you can do is use the poll to your advantage to bridge the gap between "Vote and go" and "discussion".

Yeah spwan "fillibuster" reamidies this allong with generating the positive factors we want.

The question is : Does a "fillibuster" best represent a poll or otherwise to generate the most dicussion.

Are you drunk or are you using a translator? None of your posts in this thread make any sense. If you're going to keep posting gibberish every few minutes, we may need to ban you until you sober up.

agree.

from past experience if there is a poll I will answer it and not leave a comment. In my own polls there have been more votes then user comments.

Although a "babel fish" may seem necessary if you have less cohesive contact, you may have been confused.

Make a new poll on bungie.net that makes tou both reply to the "vote" and vote.

Eliminates Problems people expirence causing non reply, (no gatherable data).

Is that honestly hard to undrestand.......?

i think not DeeJ Your smarter than that.

Thnks for the boost!

You should have added a poll to this thread.

And you see, in the case of this thread, I believe both voting and discussion would have ensued, because it's a question that merits actual discussion. As others have said, I believe a poll contributes towards a more decisive consensus, and if the topic is complex enough, people will post about it.

OT EDIT: E Sword of LORD still seems drunk.

I think Top_Gun_2021 should make a poll asking if Top_Gun_2021 should be the only one who can use the poll option.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Needs a poll.
