Unicron · April 12th, 2003

Don't care for them. The results are almost always very predictable.

Polls are cool, however the ones at NGemu can be more flexible.

Kid A · April 12th, 2003

Yes. It's fun

Valeron · April 12th, 2003

Yes , i like polls.
But i personally think that the poll about " which sex r u? " was ruined , lol

Hanamichi · April 12th, 2003

I dont particularly like polls, but I dont hate em either. So long as half the forum doesnt get filled with polls.

SnakeBite · April 12th, 2003

I like polls, but too much of them, like Han said

**Kane** · April 12th, 2003

They have thier place, but there are too many polls with baka questions which everyone knows the answer too (the 'which sex are you' one as a prime example). If people used polls with a little more intelligence, it'd be better.

**Raziel** · April 12th, 2003

I like polls, but the trend is that there are too many of them.

**Shadow Lady** · April 12th, 2003

Sometimes they are cool, sometimes gives u only crap

I dont really care about that but I will vote for yes then :-I

GALVATRON · April 12th, 2003

No, especially not political polls cited on CNN.

As far as online polls go, I rarely vote for them except to purposely screw up the curve.
-- Like here for instance, where I voted "yes".

You may also want to add the word "useless"... do any of you remembers the "Which FF is your favorite?" era, now that's a good example of how a poll can end up being hated...

Chinoz · April 12th, 2003

a chance to poll is a chance to spam

Boltzmann · April 12th, 2003

Greetings,

I like polls, even though their results may be predictable most of the time. When the subject is good it gives us the opportunity to discuss it in depth (it's a kind of hook).
But there are too many useless polls nowadays. Many of them looks like just an opportunity to spam (like the "which sex r u", for instance).

Live long and prosper.

Mr. Killjoy · April 12th, 2003

Yeah, I like poll... but maybe I posted too much of these, no?

**_E_** · April 12th, 2003

Its like anything in this world. If you use it wisely, it will be splendid. if you abuse it , it will be your nightmare

Yours,

It depends on the subject but polls do have quick results on a forum.

Exodus · April 12th, 2003

polls are alright... assuming they haven't been done already, or aren't entirely retarded. however, its better if the poll also generates some sort of discussion instead of everyone just voting, and thats the end.
