User blog:Vesther/Polls and a rant

Currently we have no rules about creating polls, but recently we had an incident in which a user created a poll about leaving Criminal Case Wiki and all the comments started going downhill for a reason. The Audit Committee took a look at the entire blog and its comments regarding about the poll. Even with use of polls, you are expected to remain civil.

Unfortunately, this is NOT the first time comments and blogs have went downhill due to a poll being abused. The last time we had an incident like this, we had Knight Striker abuse those polls, leading to his ban from this Wiki for a time-sensitive period. We will allow you to create polls, but if you abuse these polls, keep in mind that polls are a privilege and not a right. The Audit Committee will have a swift talk about these polls and depending if it's necessary to make the Wiki friendlier by quelling wanton abuse of polls, we may remove that feature in the future.

Please try to remain civil in this Wiki, as this is NOT AN OPTION. Your cooperation is appreciated.
