i responded to you in that thread but i dont think anyone else said anything

Jack can make the poll threads so they only bump to the top if someone posts in the thread, instead of them bumping to the top with every vote. It would keep from there being 8 poll threads at the top of the forum when someone goes through and votes in them all. They would only go to the top with a post, when someone had some discussion.

Nobody responded so figured people liked it better the way it is now - what do you guys think?

I think a poll here and there has some value

Do think it's gotten carried away a little, just my personal opinion

So if not the polls, where is the discussion, it's purpose of a sports' forum no?? discussion a good thing. Most guys who post don't provide analysis and I for one if on the other side of a game and curious as to the reasoning by some...not all, some......Poll is perfect place to discuss this, sadly, not a lot of discussion going on anymore, it's good to get perspective of those who from the area of that specific team, seen them more than me...etc...read more local stuff, that's why I come on here...it's efficient research in some regard...but seemingly going by the way side...

.just my .02 but I think polls should be inciting this type of activity and UPS, I think your idea is a good one.....you becoming my fav mod...logical and common sense to the nines....
