Poll limits.

I think there should be a limit of polls you can post per day. Straha has been posting them like crazy just to up his/her post count. Maybe on of the Moderators should recomend this to wong.

Just a thought.

How many polls per day woukd you suggest?

jodathalas · Post by **jodathalas** » 2003-01-08 09:01pm

I would limit it to 2.

I would suggest just telling him to knock if off. Anyway I don't think the board has any function with which to limit the number of polls and if the mods want to go to the trouble of monitoring them its there choice. I personally have not noticed.

Straha just needs to be told to knock it the fuck off.

While I'm proud of my post count, it's not something I devote my entire board experiance towards raising.

I suppose that would be the better thing to do. he is the only one other than a few others that I have seen do it.

My post count is all I'm about. I remember back in the day when I had had the lowest post count and (especially) posts per day of all the regular active members. I have since gained over 1000 posts

jodathalas · Post by **jodathalas** » 2003-01-08 09:49pm

Yah, well, my count is very low comparing to other peoples.

ArmorPierce · Post by **ArmorPierce** » 2003-01-08 09:52pm

Yeah but your excuse is that you joined at November, I was one of the first members and n00bs were easily surpassing my post count. I have since caught up and/or passed a number of them though.

Ah cee.

Honnestly if I wanted to really boost my post count I would do it somewhere else. I like polls. That's why I put them up, I think they are informative and helpful. And for as long as I have been here I have posted more polls then ANYONE else. Proved that in a "war" too. You might as well give me the title Spammy Pollster cause It would take quite alot to keep me from polling

ArmorPierce · Post by **ArmorPierce** » 2003-01-08 10:51pm

Yesh, a custom title of "Poll Spammer" would fit you quite well.

Oh crap. I'm going to get it aren't I?

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-01-08 10:56pm

How about you JUST FUCKING STOP POSTING SO MANY POLLS?!

Seriously, virtually all of us got fucking tired of it the first time you did it, and I sure as fuck am not going to let you start doing it again...

Which was why this poll went up a few months ago.

Pah. Look at my join date and look at my post count. If I don't have the smallest post count of anyone who's been on the board that long, I'd be very surprised.

This is exactly why there is an announcement in the announcements forum.

FRIVOLOUS POLLS WILL BE DELETED. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

The ice cream one is almost crossing the line.

Polls are a tool for determining people's interest in the board. Abusing them, as determined by moderators, will not be tolerated.

Keevan_Colton · Post by **Keevan_Colton** » 2003-01-09 12:51am

Perhaps you should conduct a poll to see what people consider abuse?

Cal Wright · Post by **Cal Wright** » 2003-01-09 01:10am

I think I remember a HUGE fallout about this some time ago. Straha, monkey or no monkey, poll pochers shall have a field day on you like the primitive primate you are. Somebody clip his balls!

Be surprised, then

And I imagine I'm not the only registered semi-lurker.

And I...am the opposite.

No, I think I have that distinction. Even though I joined very early on, I was usually just an observer until about a month and a half ago.

Please act surprised

I would suggest a mod to simply delete the obvious postinflating polls

We do when we find them, and they are right Straha, you have been spamming your ass off lately, give it a break~ David

Nah-ah, I still top you for overall lack of posting

But Gambler has set us a new standard.
