Is this an option? On the "rating" type, sometimes 10 is on top, sometimes on the bottom. Zero is either spelled out, or there is the number 0. For the rating polls, there is seldom (never) a "Don't play X" or "Never heard of X" option. For other polls, these are inconsistently used. Sometimes there is simply a "no" or "no opinion" which is a different answer than "not familiar with…" I know that the entries are based upon the discussion, but I think it would nice to see some consistency in the way the defaults are handled. |

If "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds", TMP is full of Great Minds. If the Polls were consistent, we might be forced to pay attention to them. |

If the Polls were consistent, we might be forced to pay attention to them. Heaven help us if that should happen…  |

As above, the inconsistencies make us think about them. Probably a good thing. |

A Not familiar with option would be good.

Zero is either spelled out, or there is the number 0. Actually, the system doesn't allow "0" as a poll option. (It sees it as "nothing there" and ignores it…) |

One of the reasons I trudge through the poll suggestions board is to suggest 'no opinion' and 'I don't play in such and such scale' as options. As our esteemed Editor has made it clear that, to be included, it has to be suggested. |

Absolutley think that numerical ratings should be standardized with a 1-to-10 system, with 1 = Worst, 10 = Best and 0 = No Opinion.
Not saying every poll should use this system, but when applicable, would be a nice consistency. |

Consistency? On TMP? <insert insane cackling/laughter> Gracias, Glenn |
