Poll creation disabled

Postby Antony » Sun 14 Mar, 2004 2:06 am

Due to recent huge amount of not-so-meaningful polls, and according to SillyDog701 Message Centre Rules and Policies,
Excessive creation of polls, usage of emoticons, line breaks or ALL-CAPS, giant fonts with ugly colours etc. is not a good practice and is not acceptable. Such messages may be edited, locked, or even removed without warnings.

The poll creating feature has been disabled.

If you have a good idea about a nice and meaningful polls, please contact Moderator(s). We would be happy to change the post into poll for you, if the poll itself is a good one.

Hi,
Is it going to get to the point where we can not post anything?
I hope not.

I could assure you that posting would never be disabled on forums, although disabling the polls was a neccessary action.

When are you going to enable poll creation?

SillyDog701 used to allow a lot of things, including unregistered postings. However, over years, I learnt the more privileges I give out, the more abusive behaviours I receive. I am not building this website for people to rant for nothing.

However, if you have a good idea about a meaningful poll, please contact Moderator(s). We would be happy to change a (regular) post into poll for you, if the poll itself is meaningful.

Idea

Postby Ron Williams » Sun 06 Jun, 2004 11:29 pm

I do agree with the stopping of poll creation though I do not like it. I think maybe the admin could make it so you can make poll but they get sent to them before they get posted so they can approve. Maybe even the moderators.

:idea:
