Lots of wikis don't encourage polls, neither do I myself. Just like what Emmy did when we were looking for a new bureaucrat, we could just ask the community, via blog or PM-self and then have them to vote. Polls are only used for special occasions or a Q&A on the homepage, not be abused on minor senseless things like asking whether you should leave or not (This is your choice) or asking if your profile looks cool (You'll only end up with haters because of bragging).
