Author Topic: Excessive Poll Options  (Read 1873 times)

Okay, I've been tired of it for some while now. The excessive poll options are really pissing me off. If it's a yes or no question, it should have the options yes, no and if you want, sometimes or maybe! If it's a "which do you like better?" poll than it should have the items for comparrison, which should be no more than five, and if you want, an "other" option!

Post your thoughts.

EDIT: Here are some examples of good polls and bad polls.

It bugs me too.

Like when the answers are;

  • Yes
  • No
  • I like pie
  • I r n00b

It looks bad, and you won't get an accurate opinion, because people are going to vote for the stupid options.


or when every choice ends up backfiring and make you look stupid.
example:

is u a stupid?
  • i r a st00pdi
  • u is a sm4rt
  • hao 2 maek dat backwurdz d?
  • i am a very intellectual human being, thank you very much. and I LIEK CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!

There's not enough poll options in this thread.

I FEEL LET DOWN. :sadowns:

Most poll options can be brought out to two things.
Yes
No

Any more is crap. I know there are two other topics on this. One being my own. If a person is to remain neutral due to lack of knowledge, they can inform them selves by reading the thread. If they would like to remain neutral in any other case, they should not vote. The only polls that should be more then these two options would be this.

Should I buy:

Game A
Game B
Game C
etc.


Congradulations sir! You are doing it wrong.

You are the winner.
Yes, that's right. If the poll doesn't make sense, vote all possible options.

So true, "sometimes" isn't a valid answer.

I remember seeing a poll about someones build, where all the options were positive, and the top one was "AWESOME!!! (recomended)"
