Couldn't we (ahem, LWD of course) simply activate the polling feature by default and only allow registered users to use the poll and then only have one option (= "me too")?
Might work pretty well... Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry. Sleet entered History when he managed to get on the back of a Tarrasque only to be ridden out of History shortly after. Using Realm Works, Worldographer (Hexographer 2), LibreOffice, Daz3D Studio, pen & paper for the realm World of Temeon and the system LEFD - both homebrewed. |

LOL Vargr, love the ahem :P That is one way to go about it, though I'm not sure if they can predefine the poll to have only one option allowed. But for a quick and dirty solution, it's certainly viable

I may poke holes in suggestions, but that is done in order to improve the thought behind them. It is rare that I find something worth objecting to, but it does happen... and this is one example. |

If it is a poll, especially a message-board one, then the software collects the responses. If the only response allowed is "yes", then it is not really a poll.
I'm not a fan of "+1" posts in general.. I'd rather someone explained some of their thinking... but even so, at least with posts counter-opinions have a way to be added. A poll that allows only "Yes" responses is like an election with one candidate and no write-in option: rigged. I understand that it was a post made with enthusiasm and probably not much thought beyond HOW to collect the responses, but there's clearly a problem with it in the end. |

Actually there is nothing wrong with the suggestion.
A poll with the only response being "I support" is fine as a method of gauging support for an idea. Why should everyone who agrees with a suggestion have to write a post detailing why? Nothing in the suggestion precluded the suggestion thread not allowing discussion including people making contrary posts. However the poll would be a simple and easy way to gauge support for the suggestion at a glance which would probably be helpful to LWD in figuring out what feature the community really wants and which ones they don't. my Realm Works videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZU...4DwXXkvmBXQ9Yw |

Well, it was just a quick idea - and seeing we only use "+1" so far, I didn't think of a "nay" option. Don't put too much into it :-)

Technically every thread already has a way for users to "vote" on it: the thread rating system.
I think it would be best as part of their issue tracking system, though. |
