As the frivolous polls resurface, they will be closed. The only ones that will not be closed are those started by admins to collect site data. We know who the folks are who are doing this.

To tell the truth, a lot of the old polls that a resurfacing are ones I never participated in. So I either over look them or add a vote. I never post in it though. That would like being trying to pick up a conversation you had with a buddy from a year ago. Too wierd.

They irritate me like fiberglass underwear, while jogging, in Florida heat!
This is what I think we should do.

Basically, allow votes on all polls, but disable them from bumping to the recent posts.

Amen, Tek. I admit, I've been guilty of voting in older polls that show up in the "New Posts" (ones I never saw when they WERE new). As you suggest, a vote really shouldn't bump a thread the way a new post does.

sure yah , i mean i have voted on a few old ones, but waking up this morning and find 4 pages of new post, and finding out that there were atleast 5 old threads and thankfully someone locked them (thank you modz)
its kinda pissing me off some, don't people have anything better to do than go around old threads and bringing them back to life

once threads are more than a month old they "should" be deleted or locked!

i'm in the minority: i overlook them. i know that the site needs to collect data on who visits here in order to become more profitable. i really like Tek's suggestion (best of both worlds). anyway, that's just $.02 from the newb.

No time like the present. Lately, it seems as if we have entered into a new era of a kinder, gentler BA.

Its cause the n00bs haven started any flame wars recently. Once one gets going that will change.

I have never seen the big bad deal about reviving old threads and topics... We get new visitors here all the time so these new guys have missed these old conversations. I think it is great that they want to pitch in their own opinions. I like seeing the old threads with recent opinions in them. Sometimes these change during the span that they were dormant. Like an instant flashback.

As for them showing up in the recent threads on the main page... I can only filter out entire forums from showing there. Not individual polls. I WILL, however, look into making so that poll votes are not registered as posts. That way they won't jump up tp the top of the lists anymore. So I'll see what I can do.
