Hey guys!

As you may have noticed, the polls was released in the forums, and since then, many "duplicates" have been popping up left and right. In addition, many users have complained to us about how the polls feature seems to contradict the whole No VS Thread rule in the forum.

However, we would like to inform you, now, that the polls was created precisely for the purpose of removing VS threads from the forums. Instead of creating VS topics, users are advised to create poll topics, instead.

Therefore, please do not report or reprimand users for creating polls, despite existing topics. The truth is that we are currently planning on creating a entirely separate section for polls in the future. We're keeping the polls, for now, in anticipation of moving them to this section. Duplicate polls and whatnot will not be a concern, so there's no need to report for duplicate poll topics, either.

However, you may report poll topics that have any of the following content:

1. Non-PG13 or R18 references/topics
2. Spammy polls (e.g. items are random letters)
3. Polls that have topics of unclear basis for comparison
4. Polls that incite flames/arguments/racism/etc.



If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please post them here. Thank you, and good day.

Remember, the "No VS thread" simply states "expect most VS threads to be locked".

That's because there are some comparison topics that actually DO produce good discussion. Once that's gone, however, the thread will be considered for lockage.

Suffice it to know that as far as VS threads are concerned, current ones stay... new ones will locked, and the user will be suggested to make a poll, instead.

the creation of polls is really helpful.
it's easier to monitor what most of the people chose.

It's really up to the forums mod to deside if a thread should be locked or not...

That's really up to the people that respond to the thread. It's also the responsibility of the thread starter to make sure that they help moderate their own thread, ensuring that people post appropriately.

Anyway, this only happens once in a blue moon... as far as most VS topics are concerned, making a poll would be the better alternative.

Many users spammed VS threads in the past with one-worded responses like "yeah!" or "no" or things like that.

Now that there's a poll feature, this can pretty much facilitate this type of discussion... however, I think Shinji should remove the extra forum aspect to the poll, since most users tend to just repeat whatever they voted in the poll in the thread... weird.

yeah see thats why i was confused cuz since you can still post in the polls isnt it still kinda the same thing as having someone just say ''yeah'' or or ''no'' retardedly as if just adding an extra to the vs. threads and even so does it really matter much

Suffice it to know that we're currently requesting shinji to update it. The polls is still (technically) a beta feature, so it's still open to changes.
