Topic: Can we stop polls being made in certain parts of the forum? (Read 429 times)
I don't see how it's possible to stop poll and reserve it for only certain parts of the forum.
Opinions count in every area and it can equally be misused.

I always prefer Japanese ones, personally.
hahaha
You need to vote on that one... the closing date is fast approaching
! South Korea sometimes have interesting coins too (the russion ones look usually like copyright infringements, viruses or just a coin marketed that doesn't actually exist)...

I don't want to pull up examples of this but every week or so I spot a newbie who is trying to get an answer to their question in the Bitcoin Technical Support section and they add a useless poll in the hope of adding something extra to their thread so people will spot it.
Oh! Those newbies again 
. I really wonder why they can't understand that they should not open a thread or post in a board that they're not familiar with. Are they a total dumbass or just hard headed? Probably both. 
... Guessing what you put at least starts off a sarcasm. Say the topics subject is "Have I lost my bitcoin?"
The poll would then read:
Question: "Have I lost my bitcoin?"(same as the subject)
The answers are then either:
• Yes they're gone
• No they're not
or
• Have I
• Lost my Bitcoin.

What a nonsense poll, so disappointing. That should be reported to the mods (I'm sure you did already).
Honestly, I'm not a harsh person when it comes in dealing with newbies. Every time I see lapses on their post, I just criticize them in a nice manner, gently tell them what's wrong and give them some tips also. I do this because for me being a newbie is an understandable case and besides, there's always a room for improvemnet. But since the newbie infestation (pertaining to the guilty ones only) becomes worse which is really getting into my nerve, I guess should stop being nice now.
Nah a lot of newbies actually know what they're doing here (the ones who aren't here to get one question answered and not come back or the ones that are here just to earn). I lingered here for two months before making an account in 2015, I think three are a lot of newbies that skip the lingering step. It still took me a while to pick up "The Way of the Forum" and I'm still not sure I have it all down.
Indeed, I am a living proof since I really can't help to feel annoyed. From now on, if I see posts like on OP's example (especially in our local board), I will not hesitate now to click the "Report to moderator" button. No more talks at all.
Good!
Somebody misusing the functionality (poll here) does not mean to remove the functionality altogether.
We just need to learn how to ignore things and be happy. No need to stress out for this.
When is it ever eseful in technical support though? We just need to learn how to ignore things and be happy. No need to stress out for this.
I think they accidentally created poll, question should have been - "I am newbie, help me to go away".
We have to help these people to find their answers, don't just bash them:
See? It is very easy. You just have to tick one.
I really love these polls, especially when they have the same options and "multi-ticking", I usually tick all the same answers.

It's just filling up the database with useless entries too though...

I think if you start to get really annoyed by these sorts of little things then this forum is just going to drive you insane

Another users who's almost certainly just been told by someone they can earn here and they literally have no fucking clue what to do. He'll be on a signature soon and be getting paid for this crap.

I'm guessing a lot of his posts have been deleted already since he registered almost 4 months ago and is now on 2 posts/activity, you'd think they'd learn a bit faster. I'm not sure if it is that user but a newbie last month posted the same sort of thing "I'm new around here, can someone elighten me" and it gives you nothing to respond with as it's so unspecific.
No doubt he'll move to spamming the altcoin section for airdrops in no time...
That account is probably part of the "family's" that tend to come here, and spew out the same sort of shit. Probably just spinning their own posts every month trying to get activity. I didn't see the previous post so can't make a judgment, however I've definitely seen several accounts spinning content that they posted months ago. No doubt he'll move to spamming the altcoin section for airdrops in no time...

Maybe rank-restricting the polls in topics are a better alternative? This might be a better solution as it will only just restrict lower ranked members from posting these nonsense in a poll. Members and up might have a firm grasped on how polls will work in the forum by now so I think they don't need to be restricted by such. Other solutions might be rank-restricting the poll option on some sections if you want to remove the poll option for newbies to make.
Can a user delete a poll if he posted it by mistake? Couldn't find any option to remove it.
Already asked here but got no answer :

I believe this thread would have been more effective with a poll! 
I was going to say he should have put a poll on with only two options:
Should we remove polls?
*Yes
*Yes
Removing polls from everywhere is just stupid.
There are some places where it is good.
It's called a joke.
Well no one gets it when I make them so I thought that's not something we do around here anymore.

Why, why the hell we have to shut down polls in some sections because of one man creating thread with annoying polls? What about to report that thread and finish everything with this?
It's not one person, it's quite a few. And the mods have enough work without trying to go through polls of threads (usually with legitimate issues) and start deleting the polls from them.
But what sections would you prohibit them from and how could we implement that as to not effect their legitimate use?
Boards that don't need a poll: • Bitcoin Technical Support
• Anywhere in the marketplace that isn't service discussion
• Announcements (altcoins)
• Anywhere in the marketplace other than Service Discussion (altcoins)

I guess part of the problem is that you cannot delete a poll if you want. I made a mistake some time ago and added a poll to a wrong thread. Couldn't delete it at all.
