About polls

[Adagio]

Wouldn't it be better to have 2 kinds of polls:

1. You can only vote for one of the options
2. You can vote for several options

The second poll could be good in cases of the T-shirt vote, where there's actually more things you would like to vote for!?!

Come on vote for it...or against it if you don't want it

DL? Don't hope you mind me asking, but what does that mean?

[Wiglaf]

dl

Double login, he registered twice and posts under two or more names.

edit/ just to clarify, don't do it

[Adagio]

thx for claryfying that to me I guess there's a lot of things I have to learn yet...does anyone know a site where to read all those "words" and what they mean?

[Wiglaf]

Re: dl

There's not much else

common forum terms:
dl/ double login
mod/moderator
permaban/ ban that's permanent
PCR/ post count reduction (10% for spamming, etc)
spamming/ posting numerous things over and over again, posting stupid one line sentences/phrases with the sole intent of annoyance or a raised post count
flame/insult

check out the forum faq for stuff like that, I'm sure you'll find it more informative

Hey, thx for the info pal, appriciated

[Wiglaf]

No problem. Solver, was that Saddam's dl?

That'd be interesting. Of course, people who the forum says registered in 1969 and 1970 would want that cleared up before this was addressed

Also, if polls are expanded too much, you can have too many of them. Polls here and there can get annoying over time.. best to keep them in moderation.

Polls are meant to get the general opinion of Apolyton users. Usually the entire thread is dedicated to that poll and thus open to new suggestions etc. Adding extra options is therefore rather superfluous.
Polls aren´t some advanced tool designed to conduct full-blown statistical research on the Apolyton community, you know.

I poles.

[Urban Ranger]

You mean ones that accept multiple selections instead of only one?

Sure, the code can be modified to accomodate that. I don't see much use for that though, so we probably should leave the polls as they are now.
