Now seriously, I have an idea: why don't handle polls like it's done on Eurobricks? People above a certain amount of posts will be able to create polls. On eurobricks, I think you need to have 500 posts I think (then you're a "Knight" on the site) to earn the feature.[/quote]

If we had a system like that, it would be better if people above a certain reputation will be able to create polls. But I'm not sure how well that would work.

But I think what we have now is fine, and I don't really see a point in making a new system.]]></content>

That's the system currently in place.

Look guys, let's not try to reinvent the wheel here, is it really that much extra effort to ask a mod to create a poll?]]></content>

I don't think that's a good idea.
It's never really good to have a system where you get ranks and stuff because of post numbers.
Or else people start posting a lot just to get a rank.

Empire, a guy on the LEGO site, posted a whole bunch just to get some super high rank, but most of his posts were not really extremely thoughtful or interesting. :p]]></content>

Maybe we should have a "request a Poll' instead.[/quote] 

If that happens then it will end up like the film queue.  It would be filled with lack-luster and pointless polls while the useful ones will be buried. I also think that by posting a topic you are taking a poll the only difference being that you dont get a pretty chart prepared for you instead of searching through posts yourself.[/quote]

A "Request a poll" isn't actually a bad idea. The requested poll would have to go through the mods before being approved/disapproved. That way the polls abusing the feature wouldn't pass.

@Stoppedmotion
What you said means that [i]everyone[/i] wanting to find the results would have to search through the thread.]]></content>
