Forums PSA: Don't have more than 2 options in a yes-or-no poll.

[Shortcut]

Now listen, this isn't complaining. I am making a topic so that when people make polls that ask a simple yes-or-no question they don't feel the need to fill all 5 options. Listen up, idiots. You can use only 2. When you fill up the poll with about 5 options, the actual results are skewed.

Take a look at the poll, which I set up as an example. Most people will vote for option 5, "i like cheese" for the 'lolz' and to be funny. As a result, the final results are skewed and false.

Please, please stop loving doing this.

The only thing i'd do for a 3rd one is "I am not sure" or something like that.
You are completely correct.

I think a "Don't know/care" option is acceptable. When it's just variations of yes and no or random stuff then it's handicapped.

[shyGriff]

this would be acceptable:

1. yes
2. don't know/don't care/unsure
3. no

but most polls are like this, especially the ones made by new people:

1. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. yes
3. ummm ok...
4. idk :/
5. no
6. NO!!!!!!
7. pizza xD

either that, or
1. YES!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!
2. yeah
3. ok!
4. maybe
5. idk

[ABlockOfCheese]

Like most people around here take polls seriously anyway.

Should we listen to Shortcut?

1. Yes
2. No
3. France

The "France" option means that they retreated from the question since they weren't able to answer it.

1. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. yes
3. ummm ok...
4. idk :/
5. no
6. NO!!!!!!
7. pizza xD

So accurate.

i'm sorry but i need to go make a proper image for when people win threads because this keeps happening
i'm pretty sure it's always you, too

[Treynolds416]

I thought dkamm won it
Regardless, you need to post the template and fonts

[.::Taboo::.]

nay, only i have the power of awarding threads!

[Bopizku]

Is should be just yes or no you handicaps. If you don't know, or don't care, then don't loving vote.

[Anybody]

if you want to know the answer ahead of time, have only one option
