Polls should not be allowed in the Help section.
Polls are meant to ask the forum's opinion.

Here's how NOT to use a poll.

Now, here's how to use a poll CORRECTLY.

What is your favorite color?

  • Red
  • Blue
  • Green
  • (etc.)

I think polls should not be allowed on the Help board, because I see too many polls like the first example I used, where people think that because they know how many people want to help them, it will solve their problem.

I am sick of the polls that ask for the user to act like they are speaking to the poll creator. For example:

"NOWAY U cigarette" or "YES BLOCKALND SUXOR"

A simple

Yes
no
undecided

will do.

Any votes that were made on a poll should also be deleted when the options are changed. Before Heaven Hunter, no one was stupid enough to change the poll options to make themselves look loved and famous, but now we see that it needs to happen

People still did it before Heaven. He just did it excessively.

What?

Plenty of people getting into hissy-fits have done that, and Bacon did one for the hell of it once.
