okay. stop with the polls. seriously.

i think polls should just be disabled. they're pointless. really. I don't really give a s--t about what the polling population of cB thinks, in numbers.

really. what's the point? "oh, 53% of cBers who answered think that jessica simpson is not slutty. " hmm.

THERE"S NO FREAKING POINT> STOP IT>


(mods, feel free to move this to the lounge and rename it if you wish. )

[Simba]

This was originally placed in the Boy's Locker, probably because of the overwhelming amount of polls placed in there. About 85% if not more of the topics on the first page are made up of polls.

This will now be moved to the lounge for you guys to discuss.

Moved to The Lounge.

[*This Confession*]

Yea there are quite a lot of polls in there last time I checked. I don't go in there all that much though.

The polls do get kind of pointless to some extent. But it a lot of otheres I think their pretty usefull.

I like some of them sometimes though.

[goodcharlotte]

I like polls... Some are fun others are for stats

[sadolakced acid]

there are entire sites dedicated to polls.

we don't need them here.

[Gigi]

I agree.

And I especially hate how it bumps up the topic, although the only thing that was added to the thread was 0.5% to "damn, that Jessica Simpson is hot".

[pedophile]

I dance on polls.

[datass]

haha, but I like polls, they're not exactly pointless..

[iROCKYOURSOCKS]

well some are okay but others are really ughh .

[no-name]

I don't like the polls. They are quite annoying and take up space. I don't see the need for them

[sadolakced acid]

here's something to think over:

the Okay polls, those. could they be done as simple topics?

[*xcaitlinx*]

polls would be better if people didn't answer stupid questions like "Do you like beef jerky? Yes [54%] No [25%] Depends on the day [21%]" ...and then post a reply that says "yes, i do like beef jerky." if you're going to answer the poll, what is the point of spamming and stating it again in words? i doubt anyone cares and reads them thinking "hmm..____ likes beef jerky? sweet." the whole topic turns into spam because nobody reads all of the replies and there is no discussion about the topic whatsoever.

[pedophile]

Well, I actually like the ones w/ a little bit of choices, but I hate the ones that have a whole bunch of choices & stuff, especially if the opinions of people DEFINETELY will vary from person to person. idk, like in some, more than one of the choices could apply to you, but you get to only choose one.
idk if that made sense to you.

[jennyjenny]

yeah, some polls are just really unnecessary. "if you could choose ONE quality about a boyfriend what would it be?" and then one of the options is "all of the above"

pointless?

but some polls are good for comparing things and/or choosing which senior prom picture is better

so i dunno, it's not like we can disable polls altogether

[bballchick1]

I like polls.

They're pretty much useless to me, but it's fun to be able to see how other people vote.

[*yrrnotelekktric*]

yea i agree

[Gigi]

If the question at hand is that trivial, then why make a poll about it, anyway?

I mean, am I the only person who doesn't give a shit about how much of the cB population likes beef jerky or not?

"Ooh, look! 25% of cBers hate beef jerky! I'm going to go cry myself to sleep, now."

I didn't mean to mock you, by the way.

[Aerjae]

But I like polls

[sadolakced acid]

polls are disabled in debate, i'm sure they can be disabled elsewhere as well.

[Simba]

Wow. The Boy's Locker is made up of all topics on the first page except for 3 threads, 1 of which was moved.

Girl's Locker has some polls too.

[clarity]

i don't really like polls either.. but thats just me.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

I concur, polls have always annoyed me, I dont really know why, I guess cause they are pointless.
but yeah, I dont like them.

[smoke]

The ones in the boys locker are pretty much pointless because of all the newbs that join cB just so they can figure out if they're suppose to be growing hair down there. However, I think they should be an option. Maybe someone needs to crack down on the pointless polls and take them a bit more serious. I think it's a good feature if used correctly.

[alienshards]

Polls are quite useless. They show you what others think. A good topic shows you what you think.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

^ Yes, and it completely defeats the purpose of posting, with polls people can just glance and see what the majority thinks, but they should actually read all of the posts and stop being so lazy.

[*nightmare4taki*]

You should have made a poll asking CBers to they like polls

[demolished]

Polls are created for a purpose.

If someone dont like poll, stay away from it. polls are not for them.
idk. for me, i dont pay attention to the poll. I just .. scroll the page down a bit. It's very simple.


Not everyone will like poll, but there are people out there ... knows how to use poll.


To elimate "bad" poll, take it away from regular member. Let the official members use poll. that's all i can think of ... to solve it.

[sadolakced acid]

^ take a look at the boy's locker room.

then tell me you can scroll down.

it's an invasion.

[whomps]

Hey babe.

There are some interesting polls. Er, there use to be.
Some people care about the numbers.

I'm just trying to think of something relevant to say to this topic.

[*lolita kitty*]

I think it's stupid when the poll is asking the same excact question as the topic. Otherwise, they don't really bother me.

[Nymphetamine]

I don't think Polls should be disabled overall. If the Polls in the Boys locker bother you that much, you guys (BOYS) should decide on what to do. But don't even think of disabling Polls altogether. They are fun.

[Jeng]

some of them are really good, some are just plain eh, but hey they wanted to see what your choice was

[oxbeautifultruth...]

If you don't wanna a lot of polls posted..then why have that option here to do so?
I don't mind them.

[jue]

I don't think ALL polls should be disabled. Maybe some of the pointless ones. Not all polls are bad, some make a poll so they get the information they need for uhmm, maybe schoolwork. But ones like "Do you like Pink?" Yes or No. Thats stupid.

I think polls might become the next CB trend,.

[Smoogrish]

Some of the polls are really stupid (well actually some of the topics themselves are stupid), but I doubt we should disable them overall.

[Shrapy_or_Delta]

really. what's the point? "oh, 53% of cBers who answered think that jessica simpson is not slutty. " hmm.

That might not have a point, but it's pretty hilarious.

yea i agree with her....i agree with the last part about the comparing things part...i mean some ppl wants to c what others chose instead of going through all the pages..and they just look at the results...

[ichigofan]

if you dont like polls then dont participate in them, i usually just vote and write my response i dont look at the percentage of what people voted on cuz i couldnt care less
