Lately it seems we have the same basic polls repeatedly being posted. Yes, the options are different, but the poll remains the same. They fill up the docket and push other polls off the page. Should there be a limit to how many duplicate polls can be posted? |

Are you referring to the 1A, 1B, 1C type of polls or something else? |

Well, I would say that I have not thought very highly of the recent selection of offerings, but that's just me. |

Bill draws upon posts made to TMP for the polls. If you have an idea for a poll, and Dear Editor chooses to run it, you will get a limited, paid membership extension for your efforts. Ginny up your poll ideas, and let them fly. Cheers! |

Yes, some get to bit over done and go on for too long.
But, what can you do. |

You could weed out the choices before posting. My pet peeve is when there are way too many choices for a yes/no question. Ex. Do you have a pet cat? A Yes I have a cat
B Actually I have 2 cats
C I had a cat but it died
D I plan on getting a cat
E My wife has a cat
F Having a cat is stupid
G No Opinion or Other (Which is it!?)
H I have a Dog
I This is Madness |

+1 Deucey. I don't know why we always have to have 3 to 5+ versions of "No." |

Perhaps add an option "Enough already – shut this down" that if it gets the most votes will close that line of polls. |

I like the way you think. |
