I wish I could retrieve what I have sent in a PM. Sometimes I get a simple response of "Yes!", and I forget what I had sent. 🤷 My bad, I guess.

Can we reduce all the negative options in Polls to one simple "No"?
Maybe I should start a Poll about that. 😄

Our whole poll system has been hacked to bits, mostly by polls. A poorly designed poll question leads to results that can't be usefully interpreted, and that's what we get every time now because of all the self-imposed requirements. They're still fun, which I guess was the point, but trying to fix the polls by putting another constraint on them is probably going to make things worse.

It can be useful to have multiple negative responses, as in:

…no, because I am unable to
vs
…no, because I don't want to

But certainly many of the required negative response make things hard to understand. And *still* sometimes I don't find a response I like.

Agreed, Say the poll is "Have you ever played these rules?" I don't need to know the various reasons why someone hasn't played them. A simple NO works just fine.
