bigdw35/Ufcfan_1 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Going forward we will not be allowing poll's to be created as part of a discussion. There are some technical glitches with this part of the forum that needs to be fixed to allow editing, etc. Members that are hosting Fight Club Gathering etc, will be given permission to create a discussion with a poll. Administration will also be able to create. Any poll's created will be deleted unless given permission to do so. Sorry for the inconvenience, This is permanent, some modifications need to be done with the process. Just to give you all a heads up as to why this is being done.

Hairy_Balzonya Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Damn, this kind of sucks. Once that Doc Obvious guy told me how to do them, I was kind of liking the polls. It was a great way to get conversations going and to hear other peoples opinions, and points of view. Sorry if any of the polls I made were a little too risqué for this forum.

jduk Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 the main problem I have with polls on here is that people don't provide relevant answers to the poll, e.g. do you want Hendo to fight Cain at a catchweight of 6lbs?

KingNothing Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm sorry, but this is a bad ruling. Polls were interesting and helped discussion. If there's technical glitches, fix them. If it's a concern about people avoiding the swear filter and posting hateful things through the polls, ban/jail them. The rules very clearly state that avoiding the swear filter or posting hate is a bannable offense. Removing polls is a bad idea, it's one of my favorite parts of this forum.

juice64011 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 If they want to ban me for speaking my mind then so be it. I've been on here since 2009 and have never been jailed or banned so I follow the rules most of the time which can't be said for many members on here. It just seems like the forum is moving backwards instead of getting better. The forum should be getting easier to use with more features and a better presentation. Instead they are doing the exact opposite. They may not like what they are reading but they should want some feedback from their members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcmax3000 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 How does a pole help a gathering? People who are attending vote on how many people they will be attending with (alone, +1, +2, +3, etc). I imagine it's done as an easy way to keep track of numbers, since you can do so at a glance, rather than keeping track of a large list of replies.
