I think that only people with more than 1,000 posts should be able to POST polls however that does not mean that they cannot respond to polls that already exist.
Why? How pointless is that? Someone with 1000 meaningless, pointless, worthless, posts could then make a poll. While someone with 23 or 57 or 753 helpful, or interesting, or insightful or humourous or informative posts could not?

What possible relevance does post count have to a forum members "value" or worthyness? Here or on any online forum. How does having more posts make someone's contribution inherently more worthy?

I say let anyone who wants to create a poll, if they choose, and I, in turn will choose whether I read it, respond to it, or ignore it. What's wrong with that? Are you a slave to your mouse, that you must click on every thread link in the entire forum?

Seriously, if polls bug you, then don't read 'em - simple
