Should we keep the polls in a separate forum?

 

If I might say a couple of things on this. The idea seems sound but a poll is simply a different form of content but not the content itself. A poll about what digital camera do you prefer and one about whether you've had a recall serviced don't really belong together. Polls are nothing new. Back on HA there were a number of threads about who had the grind. If you had it you posted a reply in one thread, if not you posted in another. The new poll feature allows you to pose such questions in a simpler and more complete way with a single poll thread. Also you can vote on a poll with anonymity now whereas you couldn't before. Polls are a common type of thread whether the feature existed or not they would still be there. Evidence of polls exist everywhere. The feature simply allows us to formalize the results better.

Just my $0.02

 

I'm with Cthree on this one.

 

OK, I see the logic in not having a poll forum. What about a color forum? That's where everybody has to make their postings like "My car's red, yours is white so you're dumb." How about that?

I think we have enough forums, those could easily go to OT.
