Can you make polls sticky until they get at least 100 votes?

Polls are not necessarily meant to spark a huge discussion. But without comments a poll will get bumped down very, very quickly.

    Or a poll section all to itself
    If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!

    Nooooooo. Then we'll have the whole first page filled with polls because players know they will be stickied there weather it's an important discussion or not.

    The system puts the more discussed threads at the top, if a poll is bumped down then I'm sorry to say it simply isn't as big a community hot button as one may perceive it to be.

    No, I do not want polls flooding the general discussion.

    They should promote discussions not substitute it, which it will if we sticky it like this.

    Better to have a dedicated forum for it.

    Some polls are stupid and don't deserve to get attention or 100 votes... If a poll isn't interesting enough that people feel like commenting on it, then it probably deserves to get bumped down.

    I'd rather snarky polls sink after 20 or so votes like they normally do. I would hate to see them sitting stickied until 100 votes just because they're "just-not-offensive-enough" to get closed, but still devoid of any real context or balance.

    As everyone else said that would just lead to the first page being flooded with unpopular polls. And potentially people tacking an unnecessary poll onto a topic just to ensure it stays on the front page.

    I agree with the people who say if a poll is important to the community as a whole it will stay near the top as a result of people posting in the topic.

    Please no.

    Most polls are one person trying to make it look like his thinly disguised opinion is prevalent across most users. I don't want to come to the forums and wade through pages and pages of "Is DK overpowered" or "Do you want AH" before I can get to something else.

    If a poll doesn't capture the attention of enough people that it slips off the first few pages - perhaps the content of that poll doesn't appeal to very many people.

    Edit: I used to be able to spell, I promise!

    Quoted for truth... So freaking many of the polls that are posted are horribly biased attempts to justify one person's opinion.

    If they did that the first few pages of the forum would be polls (a lot of which are horribly biased) and thats why sticky polls is a bad idea.
    That which we obtain to cheap we esteem to lightly, it is dearness only that gives everything its value.

    It may also lead to people voting in polls (and probably voting against the person who started it) entirely to push it down the page.

    what about making a vote bump up the thread then? a vote should be as valuable as a comment, imho.

    No.. just make all player polls disappear.

    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.
