We've seen a few polls in the Frontroom recently. I like voting in polls, it makes a change from just typing stuff. So, this poll is to see how many people agree with me in the simple, efficient way only a poll could.

I like polls, I just don't like it when the thread is derailed by talking about the poll instead of the subject.

Polls often don't provoke as much of a conversation as with regular threads, but I still like them. :nice:

Coz pools give the orgahs capablility to see which choice is more popular...
I believe in poll and non-poll equality, so I don't discriminate. :wink2:
A well-written poll on a sufficiently narrow topic can be interesting, but a poorly designed poll or one asking a loaded question is in my view deeply unhelpful. Parliament regulars may remember a certain poll a few months ago which was structured in such a way as to effectively permit only one response, then followed by strident claims by the member who created the poll that it had "proved" his point.
In particular, I would argue that the inclusion of the "Gah!" option, while often construed as a frivolous option for those who simply like voting and don't care about the subject of the poll, is actually essential, since leaving it out effectively removes the ability to register a vote saying "I think the poll is poorly structured/asking a loaded question/asking a question that is too complicated for a multiple choice answer".

how can anyone vote 'I hate polls' ?
if you hate polls why would you vote ?
How could you vote Gah on a poll such as this?!
I want to vote "Gah!" purely for the reason that I do not have the option to vote "Gah!".
