| Should polls be done away with?
Pretty much what the title asks.
In response to this thread: Restriction on making polls

| This is a POLL about getting rid of POLLS, isn't this a bit ridiculous?

| 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'"

| You should have made a poll to see which options people wanted to see in a poll about ending polls.

| 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.
