Do you vote in polls?
2006-10-25, 2:10 AM #1
I swear this has a purpose. I actually want to see how many people vote in polls here to get an idea of what kind of sample we get.

Seriously. Don't lock this!

Sometimes. It depends on the poll.
If it's something like this.. then no =p

Only on ones I care about, and ones where I get my choice.

Usually. Though I skip some polls occasionally when none of the options really suit my tastes.

Edit: Actually this polls serves no purpose. You would get a far better result by just collecting numbers from actual polls.

Well, if the poll has exactly what I have to say, yes, if it doesn't, I usually post something random and then type real thing here :D

Yeah, this poll needs 'no' and 'depends' as options before I'd bother voting.

The lack of anonymity will probably hurt your results here, as some lurkers probably only vote on polls where their anonymity is preserved.

The admins probably have better tools than the OP to detect how many unique members have voted on all polls that have ever existed, which when compared with recently active members would give you the number of unique, recently active members who have voted on polls (whether they will in the future still varies).

But my answer is it depends. Sometimes the right option for me isn't available, or I read through the thread and forget to vote, or don't bother since it wouldn't sway the conversation by that point anyway (I usually end up reading them after they've ended...).

i vote in a lot of the polls, unless i dont really care about the subject, or there isnt an applicable option for me to choose.

i also vote and dont post quite frequently.

The point of not having no is that you would have to vote to select no...
Thus that means you vote in polls.
