Do you think this poll is worthwhile?

[bilbous]

When did it become possible for just anyone to create a poll, was that an intentional setting change or did it come in due to software update? Didn't it used to be reserved to moderators/dev/gm team?

Bilbous as far as I remember it was an option always available to ordinary forum users. I think it's not bad to leave it that way afterall it can be used in a good number of ways.
And if someone abuse the feature too much we can always ban him from the forum

Interestingly the "are you crazy" option it's the most voted so far 

...and the results shouldn't be visible before voting, it's enough to make it statistically meaningless.

A cursory search of the archives indicate that Polling was limited to the official members of the team from the earliest days.
2002
2003
2004
2005

I could have sifted through the 20-odd pages of results of the "poll" search for more, but I don't think it is necessary to prove my point. The poll itself I made is unimportant except as an example of the foolishness one can get up to which was the general reason for restricting them in the first place. I, also, probably should have posted it in the forum and website discussion thread and not in the hydlaa plaza.

Some of you have under voted. You can choose up to five options to vote for! Only 26 out of 45 possible. You can change your votes.
TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

Voted just in the nick of time.  The Dome is saved.

[Rigwyn]

I've revoked my vote.
I feel its unfair that I cannot cast five votes for the same item.  :/
