Can you ever have too many poles?

I mean seriously, look at poland! They're full of Poles and they seem to be doing pretty well, they're in the EU, they're in NATO, infact, they've got so many they can afford to export them!

A friend of mine told me this once:
"One day, I ran into a pole and said 'Sorry.'"
It took me a little while to get it, at first...

Anyway, how is this ultra pointless?

polls rock, it shows the general feeling of all the people in the thread without reading it all

cos w/e the outcome off this poll may be, like most polls, nothing is going to change hence its pointless.

I don't think there can ever be too many polls...Polls get points across,and prove what "the people" want...

You honestly think so? Unofficial polls (999/1000!) don't mean -anything-. I hardly ever "vote" in an unofficial poll. Or I find the subject unworthy of voting, or the options are simply not satisfying, or I just don't feel like voting. Many others prolly behave the same way, which makes unofficial polls useless.

Official ones do, as it's a question from the developers to us, the "users" about something. It also gives us some decent options to select from. It's a -serious- poll, unlike many others. Anyways, the results of the poll in combination with the thread that comes with it (and probably other threads about the same subject) and such actually mean something. Everything else, not to me they don't..

How polls are used on these forums is ridiculous. Next thing we know there's a poll about what you like to have for dinner..

Serious, I don't hate polls in general, but I do think there needs to be some sort of moderation over them, because as it is now, they're spamming the entire forums.

Yeah, i noticed it is getting way out of hand, ATM.
I think we might have to implement a timer, like kit-requests. That should cut down on poll-spammage.

Im sorry, GREY-FOXZ123, you will have to wait a few days until I can issue you thePoll option. How about some pr0n?

...mongol...

Take a look at some of the recent polls on this forums...

Age of you guys?
What type of squad do you prefer?
What rifleman kit do you prefer?
Male/female?
Favourite faction?
Where does the PR community come from?

What exactly are these polls proving? There either people stating facts about themselves or its people saying "I prefer this over that".

I aint against polls in general, but i think there are way too many pointless ones on here recently.

Forum polls, like political voting, doesn't mean a damn thing. People don't understand the choices. And regardless of your vote, the powers that be are doing to do what they want anyway.

So, in the absence of moderator powers to force kilobytes of raw prawn down people's necks for posting silly polls, just blank 'em out :D
