you know...polling can be a good way to get an idea of what members think, but then again, do you want to run your forum as a democracy?

do you want every suggestion to be decided by a poll?

i'm sure if we had a poll asking does everyone wanna post as many threads as they want with no restrictions, the majority who participate may say yes.

though the "silent majority" may not participate or even care.

so in essence you would have a minority of members making decisions for the majority.


if we have 35,000 members and only 50 respond to the poll, and then only 26 say yes, change the rules....would we be acting in the best interst of the total membership or just a select few?


or maybe some jerk member who has a following here decides he wants to be mod, so someone starts a suggestion thread.

then we have a poll and 25 members say, yeah make the jerk mod
but 24 members say no and 10 vote for someone else.

then we make the jerk a mod and he starts closing all your threads and gives infractions for no reason.

then you start a suggestion thread and a poll to have him removed, but not enough people vote him out...so your stuck.

now that's an out-the-box scenerio, but that's what could happen if you agree to make decisions based on poll results.

imo...
