Do you vote in very old polls just to clutter the top of the forum page?

Do you vote in very old polls just to clutter the top of the forum page?


ps- I also noticed I spelled embarrassed wrong in the poll questions, but they can't be edited.

[RoninX]

I don't, just 'cause I rarely explore the non-first pages. Its sometimes pretty funny on the WC pages... but a little annoying on the main page.

[mrbiggs]

No, and it bothers the hell out of me.

Especially when there's a thread on a topic, and someone revives an old poll on the topic. (Like the screaming thing.) Sometimes they revive two or three...

Maybe we should all set our polls to close in 10 or 15 days.......

[RoninX]

Or maybe they should at least have a default to close after two weeks, or a month or something. If you really want your poll to be open forever you could still edit it but at least that way fewer old ones could be dreged up.

The duplicated screaming stuff is pretty darn silly.

[Morion]

No because I almost always voted on them when they first came out!

[D'Art]

Ask me in 6 months......

[TrainingDummy]

Not normally, but I'll be voting on this one in a few months!

[mrbiggs]

You should have closed the poll early to prevent sabotage by the 800000 people who think they're clever on f.net

This is when I miss Poulet and his polls like when you put on your socks...

Get a life, people... you could be living in Darfur. By the way, it's much more fun to annoy people who take things a bit too seriously, so you're enabling the behavior you're seeking to prevent by talking about it. Jehosephat! Don't y'all know how passive/aggressive works?...

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, forget I said anything... *goes to vote on the "Do you vote on polls" poll*

[Mr Epee]

LN,

Thanks for the great idea.

I'll have to give this a try.

Cheers.

[VELISARIOS]

Nope.

Heh.

Yes, people who think they're clever are very annoying to those of us who really ARE clever.

Ahem. Anyway, I'm with Mauler, I usually vote when they first appear. Unless they're you-know-what, like this one. ( And sometimes even then. )

Sorry, but I am such an enabler.........

What happened to him? I haven't seen his posts in awhile.

[Zilverzmurfen]

What happened to him? I haven't seen his posts in awhile.

He's probably busy posting as we type. But as you know he tends to delete most of what he post...

[chefencer]

I think LN's idea has caught on... at this moment I believe there are 11 old polls at the top of the New Posts que...
just for the record, I had nothing to do with it...

[Sciurus-Rex]

Yes. And I'm going to try to wait until this one sinks several pages before I actually vote in it.

[mrbiggs]

Like 5 people have already thought of this.

[Warrior Princess]

Wouldn't it be funny if this was an old pole? And someone voted in it?
