Forum polls are fun and sometimes informative, right? Right! IF they are set up correctly!
(sorry, this is my stupid pet peeve of the day, stemmed from things I see often on another forum, not this one)...
...anyway...it annoys the CRAP out of me when someone posts a poll asking an opinion, or if you've ever done something, and the poll is totally skewed or biased, or just doesn't give enough choices.
Examples of bad polls:
What color are your eyes?
1) Blue
2) Brown
...WHAT ABOUT GREEN? HAZEL? GOOFY MIXED COLORS LIKE MY EYES?
Do you think Chase is a good Admin?
1) Yes
2) Of course
3) Definitely
...WHAT ABOUT 'NO WAY IN HELL!?" (I'm kidding Chase! Please don't ban me!)
Example of a GOOD poll:
Was Corry's poll rant helpful or poigniant (I have no idea how to spell that, and I'm too lazy to look) in any way?
1) Yes, I found it very informative, and will know in the future to make unbiased, well thought out polls.
2) Yes, I already follow those guidelines when I make polls
3) No, I think it's untrue, and Corry's a ho
4) No, it didn't make sense
5) Other, please explain.
And that's all for Corry's daily 'pet peeve about stupid and frivolous things'.
