Well said Hitman

Lets make a poll and see who agrees!!Im just kidding.

I agree but some polls are useful . for example about convoy attacks or torpedo loadout and pistol types. They help your judgement.

Thanks a lot for your quick action, Hitman.

Agree !

I have seen very few polls that really made sense.
Suggest to disable this feature.

No, don't disable the feature (probably can't for just one section of SS). All or nothing.

However, you can set a 'lifetime' for the poll. Maybe 1 week and after that no further votes can be made (I think the Poll Creator can do this too).

I would actually suggest that this feature should be disabled for members that haven't already contributed a reasonable number of posts - say 2000 or more

I think I've seen this on few boards and would have nothing against it.

The only problem I see with that is that it wouldn't stop people from resurrecting old polls. Other than that it sounds okay.

Maybe there could be a way to force polls to automatically close after a set amount of time; say, a week or two.
