Forums
Forum-Index → Suggestions → Rejected → ForumsIt might encourage users just to make threads for the sole purpose of polls, and most polls I see are either jokes, questions about shiny hunts, whether or not the person who made the poll is cute or not, what ships are the best, whether or not the person who made the poll should leave the site or not, etc. Etc. So I'm not sure if people would take a poll seriously on a forum thread by using it with an actual purpose.
I'd say just use the poll on your profile to ask your questions and have people go there to vote.
I like the idea of polls in forums since if it's an important topic/subject it'll be readily available and people can give their opinion without posting countless times. But this is already half implemented since the forums for suggestions include the options of support, don't support and neutral in them. Although, this is automatically done when you post a new thread and also you don't get to put your own options.
For example, a sprit shop could have a poll of how much people would pay for such as the one shown (insert example pic here) and then put some values down such as 1-5k PD, less than 1k, 5-10k, 10k+ Etc. so in this sense I think I would be convenient and helpful. ;) I would also love if polls could be more elaborate then the ones on your profile such as: selecting multiple options, public poll (being able to see who voted in each category), adding your own choice (for voter).
But I don't really support that we need them everywhere such as your signature, it doesn't seem to have a point being their anyways since your sig is the space you get for advertising and as well as just putting misc. things such as widgets.
