#1 Problem with the Forums? POLLS

[maturin]

For someone who navigates the forum by viewing new posts, the polls are a major irritation.

 

EVERY time someone votes in a poll, the topic is marked as unread. This tricks you into reading the last post over and over again. Polls are not marked as such in the View New Content screen, so there is no way to avoid the bait-and-switch.

 

Bearing in mind that 90% of polls are spurious and redundant ('Should we have more ships?' 'Do you like Pirates?') the result is a spamfest. Adding a poll to your topic guarantees that it will stay on the front page for weeks, filling the forum up with crap.
