It seems to be a complaint among some of my fellow TMPers that polls often don't make sense. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!

Should polls make sense?

a. Yes
b. No
c. Sometimes
d. Marmalade

Waste of Time polls strike me as a waste of time.

But who determines what is a waste of time?

(I find the results of some of the polls about wargaming quite useful and informative wink)

"Just for Fun" polls do not have to make sense but please make it clear when that is the case.

Why start now?

Nonsense is in the buttock (left) of the beholder.

The ancient Samnites believed that nonsense resided in the buttocks. It is no coincidence that the only surviving Samnite literature is a collection of fart jokes.

What was the question?

Shagnasty Supporting Member of TMP02 Mar 2016 7:04 p.m. PST

What is this "sense' of which you speak?

To whom?

Cerdic02 Mar 2016 11:55 p.m. PST

Maybe we need a new board for 'non-serious poll suggestions'…..

I suggest that we need a few categories of polls:
Really Serious Polls
Serious Polls
Mildly Serious Polls
Slightly Serious Polls
Slightly Silly Polls
Mildly Silly Polls
Really Silly Polls
Completely Silly Polls

There. That should sort things out.

Mute Bystander03 Mar 2016 7:23 a.m. PST

Or you could do the adult thing and ignore the crazy ones.

darthfozzywig03 Mar 2016 9:11 a.m. PST

I support and/or endorse MajorB's suggestion of poll categories. We should also appoint a committee responsible for sorting polls into their respective categories.

We should also appoint a committee responsible for sorting polls into their respective categories.

The committee should be appointed by a governance board elected through a poll.

Far too many people have far too much time on their hands.

I say that determining the seriousity of a poll should be at the sole discretion of the Reader. Why should all the work be done for him? Kids today. Want everything handed to them, wrapped up with a bow.

MajorB03 Mar 2016 3:47 p.m. PST

Want everything handed to them, wrapped up with a bow.

As long as it's a PRETTY bow!

I suggest that we need a few categories of polls:
Really Serious Polls
Serious Polls
Mildly Serious Polls
Slightly Serious Polls
Slightly Silly Polls
Mildly Silly Polls
Really Silly Polls
Completely Silly Polls

There. That should sort things out.

And a new Board for each of them.

This one doesn't so why should any of the others? 8)=
