Should poll posting enabled?

No. They encourage brigading by other groups "Just go over there and vote..." then the wankers who came to vote stay and all of a sudden we're full up with the sort of folks who love to brigade.

And the results of online polls don't mean shit.

Also they are low effort and we need to encourage people not to be low effort.

Yes, no restrictions.

Please don't, they are low effort and don't help towards debates... just circlejerks.

Require every voter to make a comment

No, because the opinions of people on this site aren't representative of the general population. They tend to be more polarized, and people who are looking for shallow relationships are over-represented. That's fine for debate, but not for finding out what men in general or women in general want.

I think that a poll can't be the main post, polls rarely encourage discussion, maybe a poll can be the complement to a discussion. I would consider allowing polls on topics/threads that were discussed and talked about recently because that way the poll can be a continuation of a discussion that was already being had on PPD.

Then again, I am not a mod so I am not the kind of person that actually knows what would be best for the sub.

They are low-effort and will clog up the sub.

No. These poll posts are everywhere lately and they are cancer.

I’m not a fan of it personally.
