👏 Add polls to DevRant 👏

No. That was already discussed and there is no intention of ever adding polls.

@iiii NO xD

@iiii Why though? I’ve missed this particular discussion.

Make a poll about it

Why? This is not a democracy so all you could use it for is making medium-esque bad "infotainment" that's just "DO YOU PREFER VIM OR EMACS?!" in hopes of scraping together more ++'s to boost your ego.

It'd be utterly pointless.

@Elyz “...all you...” am I inferior somehow?

@yehaaw I don't see how my comment implied that.

@yehaaw because it will only create boring holywar polls which no one wants.

Polls don’t mean anything unless you give them executive powers.

@Elyz maybe "all you" was misinterpreted meaning "all of you (inferior people)" as if your English was broken

@Elyz Alright, I get it. Did not think of this idea as something utterly horrible, but eh, I guess.

Also, do people really care about ++? I don’t think so

Hell no

Do you like JS? Would be my first poll

Woah, the "no poll" police!

<siren>

police: Do you know why we stopped you?

you: What?! No?!

police: This is a strictly "no poll" zone, bitch!

you: WTF is wrong with these people...

@Demolishun NO POLLS, GO BYEEEE

This is not youtube, that's why

@ScriptCoded YT has polls? :D

Seriously though there’re many dumb rants and memes reposted straight from dumbest subreddits out there, every fifth rant is about how bad JS is or some dumbass OS comparison, but somehow POLLS ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS WAY WORSE. How the fuck?

Second of all, why do you dipshits have such a strong opinion on this matter? We are talking about polls, jesus lord our saviour, kill me right now

@Elyz That plus I don't care about the opinion of someone reposting shitty memes in the hope of getting free stuff.

In the right hands, polls could be amazing, but..... there's way to many folk that can't even select a rant type correctly, I have little faith.

Only one poll per user per week + Minimum Karma requirement will solve the problem of abuse.

@ScriptCoded even YouTube removed polls, afaik.

@theabbie That is actually a brilliant idea.

@yehaaw it does not address the main issue of polls being useless here.

@iiii If someone is asking for them to be added, then they are not. It’s you who’s not seeing the need for them.

@yehaaw yeah, client always knows what he needs and totally never asks for stupid useless features.

@iiii This conversation is really useless and very much counterproductive, so, if you can, kindly fuck off.

@yehaaw it is useless indeed, because creators of devrant already stated two or three years ago that polls will never be added, so any discussion about that is meaningless 🤷‍♂️
