Why is it I can post here, but not start a poll? Do you have to be a moderator to do that?
Starting polls here - Brista - 06-04-2004
The subject was discussed a while back and the general consensus was that most people here aren't fans of polls
I think the view is that they often lead to a poorer form of posting
For instance
Post #1
Should my druid be a ) a bear b ) a wolf?
Post #2
Compared to I've been trying to decide which path to take with my shifter. I like the bear's advantages of XXX but I'm also impressed by the wolf's advantages of YYY
See what I mean?

The topic was discussed here..
The consensus was that if you could convince a moderator of the importance/usefulness of a poll, then they could make one for you. This has spared us a lot of useless polls. And yes, I am sorry to say, I do think a poll asking which Act Boss is the hardest falls into that category, just to pick an example. ;)

I see.... Well, I appreciate your opinion nonetheless. If they have deemed polls that redundant and useless, why dont they remove the 'new poll' icon then? Otherwise its confusing.

Otherwise its confusing.I don't believe the forum software will allow them to do that. But I haven't poked around too much with the setup of these brand of boards and may be wrong.

Actually, I think we could probably do it. We'd just need to replace the "new poll" graphic with one that was just a picture of the background.
It makes sense. I'll look into it when I get a chance. In the mean time, I'm going to move this thread to the Suggestion Box.

I assumed that Invision Board wouldn't put the button there if you didn't have access to it...hmm. Let me dig around.
