UniqueBuilder Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 I read some place that you need to be a Knight (500+ posts) to make polls. Why? :'-( It would have been much more reasonable to have Citizen as a requirement. 8-| I just decided to make a competition, and suddenly remembered that I'm not allowed, because I haven't posted 500 posts. Stupid. *sing* 100+ requirement, please? :-|
Starwars4J Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 It used to be citizen, but a group of citizens decided to spam the forums with really stupid polls about everything you could imagine, so the rank was changed.
UniqueBuilder Posted April 15, 2007 Author Posted April 15, 2007 Aaww, that was sad to hear.. :-| But isn't there any chance you could change it back to the normal, and just ban those who can't behave? :-/ There should have been some guidelines for making polls, pinned in the "Website and Forums" forum. And you could just turn it back to Knight if it gets to be a really big problem again. It's ruining the fun for those serious people with 1-499 posts. :'-( EDIT: Now I see I have a spelling mistake in the topic title. Can a Mod/Admin change, it please? :-)

As for banning them...they were spamming, but it was nothing to ban over. It was getting ridiculous with the polls that were created. And as for guidlines...it's just common sense stuff. As for the competition you could always get someone who can make polls to make the entry thread for you (I don't believe it's possible to add a poll to a pre-existing thread where no poll was previously). I don't think it's going back to citizen, but I could be wrong. You'll need to wait for an Admin to answer that :-)
oo7 Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 I think if Mr. UniqueBuilder PM'ed an Admin with his ideas for the contest it would be nice to temporarily grant him some poll making powers solely for the contest unless decided otherwise... (I don't believe it's possible to add a poll to a pre-existing thread where no poll was previously) Maybe not for a moderator......
Vader Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Ok as SW4J said polls are now restricted to Knight ranks and above, thats the way its going to stay because of the trouble caused by our younger members. Those responsible have been taken care of but we wont be changing back anytime soon. That said if you want to run a competition then feel free to send me a pm outlining your idea and what you would need in the poll, then we can take it from there. *vader*
xwingyoda Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 That said if you want to run a competition then feel free to send me a pm outlining your idea and what you would need in the poll, then we can take it from there. Or me as well ;-) We had way too many crappy polls !! It was really unbearable, thats why we made polling available only from knightood ;-) And we have no intention to change it !! So for contests, feel free to ask us ;-) *yoda*

OK, that souds fair enough. ;-) I'll PM you or Hobbes if I get a really good idea soon. :-) End of discussion; close? :-)
