In other forums, there are this things like a forum poll in them. It would be great if AG could put some kind of attachable poll onto forums, if you want them in your topic, when you create a new topic, there could be an option to do that.

There may be a system in place, but if so, it should be redesigned, to be more user friendly. And if there is a system, could you tell me how to use it???

Well ,this has been brought up before, and the awnser has never been a definate yes, or a no. I would say it is a half decent idea, were mods ONLY could make the polls. So Dan could get feedback on what we want o nthe site.

The developer is probably working on lots of forum updates, so you never know, you just wait.
I don't think this is a bad idea, it just might have to take a while.

Usually, if users want a feature to happen, and it's not a bad idea, it will be added to this list. The long list of things that MIGHT be accepted and made into a feature. I'm still waiting for my idea to be added,( the two comment boxes thingy), but that probably will be a dream.

Y halo thar, repeat topic. X)
I like the idea of having polls, but as others have said, it have been brought up before.

Mixed feelings about it. Some say it should be implemented to prevent "I agree" posts (which are a bit spammy), others think it wouldn't make a difference and that some would spam-vote (voting without thinking about the question).

Polls should be non-AP, but I don't think moderators should be the only ones allowed to create them. Personally, I hope we get polls on this site at some point, but for now, not much point in discussing it again.
