    In response to bannable polls

    Some of the polls that were posted over the past few days were entirely out of fun, and people seemed to enjoy joking around about who would win if batman fought superman or what peanut butter they preferred or whatever.

    These are general discussion forums. It feels like 1984 or Equilibrium where any attempt at having fun is a serious offense punishable by death, or in this case, getting banned.

    The threads are titled "Poll" and should a person think these are stupid, they have every right to not click on the thread. How long is it going to take before we have to PM an admin with a request to make even a simple thread?

    Will this thread get locked and have me banned simply because I was stating my opinion on the matter? It's just crazy that some people take these forums so seriously. I'm reminded of why I stopped reading these forums when they split. It's a bit nerve-racking to be too scared to post my opinion for fear of getting banned.

    Anyways, I'm done ranting.

    And this is why we need a spam forum.

    Also dont worry, I think good polls like batman vs superman are fine. Shitty ones like peanut butter and washing after you piss are not.

    And no you wont get banned for this. Usually people get banned for major asshattery and/or personal attacks on admins.

    A lot of the WoW people are actually former WoW people. And besides, they are a lot of our friends. I know I like most of the ones who post here.

    I didn't like the superman/batman one personally, and I think that's where it gets to be a gray line on what's good and what isn't. Although I don't think anyone can top the 'shave your box?' poll

    Don't turn this into a WoW FFXI dispute. Seriously, don't even go there. This has nothing to do with what game I play or what game you play, so don't be an ass.

    General forum != Spam forum. We should be discussing general subjects, not having stupid ones drown out the goodies.

    I agree with mah spam brothers, but the last poll, really, really sucked.

    Seriusly it gave me AIDS.

    Sorry for the straw that broke the poll camels back, orz.

    The intention was curiosity/fun... definitely not to ignite a censorship firestorm.

    I like crunchy peanut butter.
