Poll Subforum: Hi Mentors, Should We Have One?

  • Thread starter AlbertEinstein
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses the idea of creating a subforum for polls. One person suggests it because it would make it easier to search for previous polls on a topic, while the other disagrees and believes it would be unnecessary. They also mention the option of adding it to the advanced search. Ultimately, it is decided that there is no overwhelming need for a poll subforum and it would be less confusing to categorize polls under relevant forums.

I thought it to be necessary if someone wanted to post a new poll on a topic,then he/she would find it easier to search for if an earlier on that topic existed.

However if u still find it unnecessary, I would suggest to add an option regarding this in the advanced search.

We don't create a subforum unless there is an overwhelming need for it. No one has brought up the idea that there is a need of having all polls being confined to just one subforum. Furthermore, I think it is a lot less confusing in terms of categorizing to have a poll under a forum relevant to the subject matter.

Zz.

1. What is the purpose of a poll subforum?

A poll subforum is a designated section within a larger forum where users can create and participate in polls, which are online surveys or questionnaires that allow users to vote on a specific topic or question. This subforum allows for more organized and focused discussions and can provide valuable insights and data for the forum community.

2. How can a poll subforum benefit the forum community?

A poll subforum can benefit the forum community by allowing for more engagement and interaction among users. It can also provide a better understanding of the opinions and preferences of the community on various topics. Additionally, polls can be used as a tool for decision making or to gather feedback on the forum itself.

3. What types of polls can be created in a poll subforum?

There are many different types of polls that can be created in a poll subforum, including multiple choice, yes/no, ranking, and open-ended polls. The type of poll chosen will depend on the purpose and goal of the poll, as well as the preferences of the poll creator.

4. Are there any guidelines for creating and participating in polls within a subforum?

Most forums have specific guidelines for creating and participating in polls within a subforum. These guidelines may include limiting the number of polls created per day, avoiding duplicate polls, and ensuring that polls are relevant to the subforum's topic. It is important to follow these guidelines to maintain a respectful and productive poll subforum.

5. How can moderators monitor and manage the poll subforum?

Moderators can monitor and manage the poll subforum by regularly checking for any duplicate or inappropriate polls, ensuring that polls are relevant to the subforum's topic, and addressing any issues or concerns brought up by users. They can also provide guidance on creating effective polls and ensure that the poll subforum remains a positive and useful space for the community.
