    I'll start. Yes.

    Edit: I missed the 'to' :p, why can't we edit a poll? Nevermind.

    Well of course I am blindly going to support anything which lets me get more badges.

    Although if I was a rational person and not a forums addict I might as why and to what end do we actually need these.

    Everyone who voted yes added something constructive to the discussion. I see no comment from no voter. Sad.

    I will hand out agrees left and right @Dracindo :)

    No thanks, people will just spam polls to get the badge, it wouldn't be constructive or helpful.

    Do you think removing badges for comments would make the forum more constructive? Asking mainly because I'm short of 15 comments for the next level.

    Badges tend to only be worth 5 or 10 points though.

    If one really wants to grind points for the ranks it's better to just post in controversial threads with an opinion and you'll come out with a bunch of agrees. Otherwise just post stupid meme pictures as every post you make and you'll get points.

    I generally found just posting good posts, with some witty remarks and trash posts here and there (which is how I've always posted) got reactions fast enough. The main thing is to just post a lot and be active on the forums.

    Depends as well if you want the reputation of someone who just trash posts for points or not.

    I initially was gonna vote No as polls on their own don't really help the game or the people as such but then I remembered there are badges for various milestones. As long as it doesn't enable people to spam the forums with useless subjects eh? :P

    There will be useless farming polls, but then we have useless farming threads and posts already. So I don't think it will really be a change.

    The ZOS mods might not be happy with the extra work though. :sweat_smile:

    Every little bit helps. Especially for those of us without the time or inclination for relevant (or controversial) posts. :D

    Besides, it's been a few years since there was a poll about "are there too many polls?" on every page. More useless badges would turn that around.

    It always surprises me how a well thought out and researched post or a post with a genuine question/facts might get lost and not get any attention but inflammatory or some weird comment might rack up thousands of views and comments XD
