Too many polls?

Have there been too many polls created as of late? If so, what should be done to stop so many of them from being posted? If not, what point would you call the 'limit' as far as the amount of polls being posted?

Discuss.

No, it's not a joke, I'm serious.

I just decided to add a bit of irony for a few chuckles. :)

Please lock this topic. Topic creator is obviously an asshat who thinks his pseudo-irony will be funny.

No, the original poster (me) is (hopefully) NOT an asshat who thinks that pseudo-irony is hilarious; however, he IS simply trying to gauge the popular opinion of posters, hence the poll.

It only happens to be ironic, no need to get aggressive over it. The bottom line is that I want a consensus on the issue, not just subdued grins or the occasional chuckle. This isn't comedy, this is a forum; accordingly, I am no comedian, and this is no comedy act.

polls are a good way of finding out what the community thinks, i cant understand what the problem would be if every topic had a poll.

Undecided/Other:

People are creating too many stupid polls lately.

Polls are good to find out what others think without browsing through a 100 page long thread.

But what we've seen there lately were, ehm, crippled polls.
Either the answers were missing, biased ("I agree with you my lord/I don't agree and therefore I'm a complete idiot") or the poll was simply about a thing that was discussed to death.


Overall: forum users need a firmware update, but that's hardcoded :D

There are too many polls on finding out if there are too many polls (two is too much).

My wish is only Devs & other forum henchmen can start polls. Please grant this wish.
