[QUOTE="Ma'varkith, post: 49848, member: 16"] I've devised a handy-dandy three-part questionnaire to help users determine if their poll should or should not be posted. in just moments, anyone can follow this simple guide to better Poll Creation Ettiquete: a) Are you posting a poll because you're bored, because you think it's cool, or because everyone else is doing it? If so, please don't create a poll - bandwagon-jumping, peer pressure, and boredom are no excuse for cluttering up the server. b) Is the topic D&D / d20 related? If no, then it's probably not a good idea. Lots of off-topic threads start here, and people have differing opinions on what should be done with them. Let's be honest with each other, though - if you want to talk about comic books, and it's not in the context of D&D, it belongs on a comic book board. If you want to talk about a Sci-Fi movie, and it's not in the context of the d20 system, it should be posted to another site. I'm sure many will disagree, but it's hard to argue against the fact that this site is about D&D / d20, not Geek Culture in general. c) Is there a valid reason to be asking the question? If it's an attempt at humor, or a parody of someone else's poll, or a poll about polls, you'd probably be better off not posting it, or posting a question in the Meta forum. Yep - the one at the bottom of the list that few people seem to know about - if you have a question about any aspect of the boards, you'll probably find the answer there - or, at the very least, a heated discussion. Yes, with this simple plan, you too can be on your way to Poll Abuse Recovery. ;) [/QUOTE]
