A poll on polls

[KaosDevice]

In light of the recent glut of polls I thought I would take the chance to make a poll of polls

I now post the obligatory "your poll didn't have my exact choice" post.

I don't think your question is worded very well. Plus it should have multiple options -- I wanted to say "I sometimes answer" and "is this a trick?"

Also, asking about polls is Wrong Badfun.

You may not be aware of it, but off topic polls have never been allowed.

Instead of closing this, though, I'll slide it to the OT forum.

Really? Why?

EDIT: "Why not allowed", not "why not close it"

My bad.

Personally I'm curious as to why Mark has been posting so many polls lately. I'm wondering if he is trying to collect some kind of dataset on us to use at a later date.

I am not a poll response, I am a free man! (which should have been one of the possible responses on this poll).

Because when polls first came to EN World, they were abused horribly. Large numbers of joke or sarcastic polls clogging up the forums but adding nothing of substance. It was expected that such abuse would slack off as people got used to them, but it didn't seem to. Thus, they were banned.

Ok. Now I know. And knowing is half the battle.

Thanks.

While I had semi-silly intentions it is a fairly valid question.
