Why is it I can post here, but not start a poll? Do you have to be a moderator to do that?

Starting polls here
|
|
The subject was discussed a while back and the general consensus was that most people here aren't fans of polls
I think the view is that they often lead to a poorer form of posting For instance Post #1 Should my druid be a ) a bear b ) a wolf? Post #2 Compared to I've been trying to decide which path to take with my shifter. I like the bear's advantages of XXX but I'm also impressed by the wolf's advantages of YYY See what I mean?

The topic was discussed here..
The consensus was that if you could convince a moderator of the importance/usefulness of a poll, then they could make one for you. This has spared us a lot of useless polls. And yes, I am sorry to say, I do think a poll asking which Act Boss is the hardest falls into that category, just to pick an example. ;)

I see.... Well, I appreciate your opinion nonetheless. If they have deemed polls that redundant and useless, why dont they remove the 'new poll' icon then? Otherwise its confusing.

Actually, I think we could probably do it. We'd just need to replace the "new poll" graphic with one that was just a picture of the background.
It makes sense. I'll look into it when I get a chance. In the mean time, I'm going to move this thread to the Suggestion Box.
Why can't we all just get along

I assumed that Invision Board wouldn't put the button there if you didn't have access to it...hmm.
