I am aware that you can use comments/replies for polls but I thought I should suggest a poll attached to the thread. Theese polls would be formatted better and cause less spam (if you have lots of answerers). I got the idea from the fact that most other forums sitea have them.

Polls will be an optional feature that can be used in threads anywhwre. They appear at the top of the post and the person who created the thread can add a poll (or more, depending on what the ST think). You'll be able to choose when the poll closes (nver is an option) and whether to keep who voted for what to you, or whether it displays to the public. Also, there will be the option to allow othera to vote for multiple answers,

Also, there willbe repprt buttons on polls, stopping things like “am I awesome?”, as it will offend the creator if somebody answers no, people will just report it as an inappropriate poll. There will also be other poll rules created by the ST to ensure people aren't offended by peoples polls and/or their answers.

What do you think? Reply with your answers! (This wouldn't be the case if they were added )

So like for suggestions, allowing people to easily support a suggestion?

Yes, I think it would be cool if there was some sort of system to keep track of that easily. What other forums could polls be used in?

-music
-flying
-other (please specify in comments)’

Hmm… Bugs and Glitches?
Have you had this bug before? Vote on the poll!

Maybe what I am reading and playing?
Do you like the book? Use the poll!

And the same for Making and creating. You have the idea.

Maybe for suggestions, there should be a “support” button (and for the ST, a “reject” button)?

Yes! Of course! I:
  • Support
  • Meta Support
  • Uber-Support
  • Meta-Uber-Support
  • Uber-Meta-Support
  • Uber-Meta-Uber-Support
Anyways, I've always thought the best suggestions list reasons. This should include that, listing:
  • You can let people vote on how to update your project
  • You can ask if people support
  • You can… do other stuff.

I think we should be able to have votes on the forums. Other forums have this feature. You click on a bubble and the tallies are show at the voting box.

Example: support/not button for suggestions

Support, but I think it should only be on suggestions with the support/no support button.

Support, but some polls might be inappropriate. I see it now…

“Who's yo mother you *************??? Huh? Huh?”

“Me”

“Me”

I highly doubt that. What makes them more prone to spam than smileys?

Neutral. As others, it would be cool, but could be abused and stuff.
