No polls in general discussion?

People abused them. One person, specifically, would flood this part of the board with polls. But, in general, polls were abused by everyone. The thread title would be leading, the question would be full of weasel words, the options would be biased... The worst part is that polls led to no discussion. Like, if you think something needs to be nerfed or buffed or reworked or galactic war is unfair or whatever, freaking SAY IT. List the reasons you think what you think and put some effort into making your case.

Don't just throw something out there and then passive-aggressively tack on a poll to create the illusion of support... Especially when the overwhelming majority of players don't even visit the forum.

You can do polls in other parts of the board, and that's because the other parts of the forum aren't a dumpster fire like the community here is.
