Do you think it'd be a good idea to have more choices on polls? Not TO many more, but maybe an even ten. Why only eight? That's a pretty...random number, to say the least.

And please don't say something like, "Well, that'd just be two more spaces for spammers to fill in with stuff like 'zomg pie!' or 'no, bcuz im a stoopid newb.' " We shouldn't have to lower the standards for people who can't abide by them. lf some one were to abuse having extra choices on a poll, then lock it. Pretty simple right?

Tell me what you think, in a civilized manner. l don't appreciate being flamed and l don't appreciate rudeness.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I always wondered why it wasn't se7en. All in all though you can always add a choice that says other. I for one have a hard time getting a poll to use all eight. I usually have to add random stuff to it to get it filled.

Are you stalking me? I mean sometimes I do fill up my polls just like that. Of course the only place I use polls is in my groups. I can see sometimes needing more choices if you are talking about certain things like music, books, and movies. Other than that I don't see the need.

I heard something outside. I am going to check and make sure it isn't SS_Zag1.

Eight has proven sufficient for me in the past.

A lot of people seem to think that having 8 options is an invitation to ruin their poll with questions like "Pie" and "Your mother". These are always the most popular choices, moreso than the options pertaining to the actual subject.

That reminds me... your mother likes pie...

Edit: Oh yeah, I think they should maybe lower the amount of options, rather than give people more space for "creative" questions. However, some poll questions need a rather large list if it's more complex than a "yes" or "no" answer. I suppose eight is the best of both worlds (or the worst, depending on how you look at it).

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Well I personaly think that 8 is fine. For me, it gets pretty challenging to fill up the options. If there were more choices, like you guys have said, people would take advantage of it and make senseless answers.

I like it how it is and wouldn't mind if it was se7en. It is all fine to me.

Eight is enough for people to sufficiently call everyone who disagrees with them an idiot.

*cough*Achilles*cough*

I like it.

I've challenged my beliefs. What is the book about?


I find that this is usually untrue. If religious people honestly, diligently and intelligently challenged their beliefs, there would be no religious people.

For the most part I think 8 is enough, although there are times where I wish I had moe.

But that's wat l mean. Just because there are retards out there that can't control themselves, doesn't mean WE should have to suffer. (Well, not really suffer, but l'm sure you get my point.)

And can't fill up ten spaces? Here's an idea: leave them blank. Better to have more then enough room, then to not have enough room. l can't stand putting "other" as a poll choice. lt's so vague, and no one bothers to say what their other is.

I've yet to see someone use 8 options properly. I can't find many uses at all for a poll with more than 3 options.

2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

It couldn't hurt.

Sorry guys I tried to add more poll choices but I just don't have the skillz. I actually got hired as an asp programmer but achronos fired me on my first day because I couldn't get my "hello world" script to output anything other than cute pictures of kittens. I clean bathrooms now.

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

Achronos didn't like kittens??? What says "Hello World" better than cute kittens?

My first "hello world" script made something very...disturbing....

I think that Master Moderators should have the ability to edit or remove poll options.

No limits to how many options you can have, I can just see it now... "Which is your favorite letter in the entire alphabet?"
