What's with all the new POLLS recently? - Blu-ray Forum

Johnny Vinyl · 03-05-2009, 09:00 PM

Everytime I sign on to the forum lately I notice yet another new poll about a movie, a director, a shoot-out between one or the other, a best this or that and many others. Half of the time the selections are so incomplete I can't even post, so what's the point of providing a poll?

Don't get me wrong...I don't mind polls at all, but it is getting rather boring seeing the same type of thing. I know it's fun and all, but please...lets be more creative!

No poll attached!

Make the kind of threads you want to see.

BirdManJr · 03-05-2009, 09:09 PM

its not the size of the poll that counts.....

Johnny Vinyl · 03-05-2009, 09:10 PM

I do.

I don't look in a directory and post the same question using a different actor/director/movie, etc . I could...it would sure as hell get my post count up!

I was just about to post the 'favorite poll, poll'

And just list the 5-6 polls that are on the front page alone.

Good one! My point exactly!

I know of at least one member who was banned for posting too many polls so I am not sure why the mods are allowing these polls to continue.

LOL. I had the same thought either last week or the week prior. I even went so far as to copy a series of about 12 poll links into a word file and started my "What is your favorite poll" poll. In the end, I figured it would just piss certain pollsters off, and probably get me a warning (if not worse).

John, you're not alone. I get tired of weeding through all of the stupid (mostly) polls looking for threads of interest.

Edit: This poll here is particularly annoying...LOL

Glad to hear that....I thought prior to starting this thread that I'd get creamed for expressing myself like that. It's not something I normally do, because I respect the opinions of all. This useless proliferation of wasting meaningless space just annoys the crap out of me and I had to say something.

I agree! Maybe I should create a poll called "Are there to many polls?"
