Yes.

No, I like it the way it is.

ALL threads should require a poll.

Not sure.

This poll is flawed.

Should polls be done away with? Pretty much what the title asks.
In response to this thread:
Restriction on making polls "Oh but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!"

This is a POLL about getting rid of POLLS, isn't this a bit ridiculous? Asprin
Blackadder :But I thought we were fighting with swords.
Wellington : Swords! What do you think this is, the middle ages? Only girls fight with swords these days.

Ha, ha. That's funny, because it's talking about polls being done away with and then there's a poll in it. L-O-bleeding-L. 
No, they shouldn't. Because until we get a better search function (or until people learn to use it, actually know of it, etc.) people will still make polls about repeated topics. If a topic from six months ago chaps your hide so badly, then just don't read the bloody thing.

Oohhh, I KNEW I forgot something. Should have also included as an option:
"Yes, for anyone with fewer than N (50, 100, 1000, 10000, whatever) 'cool points'"
-B "Oh but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!"

You should have made a poll to see which options people wanted to see in a poll about ending polls. Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

And a poll to decide whether I deem that necessary.

Personally I think that polls should automatically expire after a period of time - and that should also be the maximum length of time they are capable of being active as well. Members could decide to have a poll active for less time.

Do you all really think it's a problem now that they no longer self-bump?

Well, some people get pissed off that some polls are repeated - "What weapon" or "What grip" threads, for example.

And the followup: Should we do something about it?
Then Inq's poll, then this one.
Really though, how hard is it to skip over threads you don't care about?

And every time that's brought up, isn't the resulting "Well I don't want to know what grip people preferred 3 years ago", the obligatory response? I don't mind them popping back up. "Life is like a wheel, where everyone steals, but when we rise, it's like Strawberry Fields."
