The Steven666 Poll Thread Poll

StokeBloke · 26th-February-2008, 12:26 AM

You may have noticed that our Steve is a bit partial to staring polls. This got me to wondering just how representative polls are. Do you participate in polls or not?

To keep this as representative as possible, I have made this poll anonymous.

How can you vote no?

To indicate a negative response, simply click the little box next to the word 'No'.

But by voting No means that I do so it becomes a Yes! Think I need some sleep

Please do not reveal your vote, as this may slew the choices others make. That is the whole reason why this poll is anonymous!

We'll just have to count your 'no' as a placebo Steven, it's all good

Where's the "only if the question and answers make any sense" option?

I've also noticed that these polls all seem to have mysteriously been bumped overnight, all between 12:34 and 12:40am. Which is about 10 minutes after this thread was started. Spooky coincidence, that.

For future reference, gratuitous thread-bumping is frowned upon...

No, that would be a positive response as we are voting on whether we do NOT participate in polls. So i vote yes, the negative, as I never, ever participate in polls. I think thats a positive thing though, as they're all rubbish

Can the software not be set so that poll votes and changes to poll votes do not count as the last activity for a thread so that if people do wish to 'bump a thread' they at least have to go to the trouble of posting something in it?

I am getting very close to adding a 2nd person to my ignore list - what I really want is to be able to all ignore threads started by specific people

Quality and quantity springs to mind...

**Gav** · 26th-February-2008, 10:15 AM

I'm tempted to create a poll about confusing double-negatives, spelling, grammar and feedback design.

Then again, I don't care that much!

I am sure that one (maybe more) person(s) on here must stalk the forum looking and thinking about what thread to start next. Most of it irrelevent dribble that has been discussed in far better detail recently.
Its not big and its not clever

"Non-voters can't vote a vote
In a poll: "To Vote, or Not to Vote"
They couldn't click "No"
That would be voting, so
There is no "No" vote. End quote.

sorry!

ry!

Usually if you want to vote yes then voting no is a no no and voting no would indeed make you a yes. Being a yes means no no vote as a yes is required. Unless of course you actually read the question.....
