Scratch

Most forum hosts (I'm not sure what scratch uses) have an option to implement a poll into a post. It's just an option that you should be able to add via the administrator control panel. I don't know what it looks like for the scratch forums/whatever host we use, but on almost all reliable hosts there is an option to add a poll to posting options.

Forum users should be allowed to add polls to their threads. This would mean that scrach would add an option in the writing stage before you post to create a poll with up to like 8 or 10 options, and the ability to have users either vote for one option or multiple options. Also users should have the option to have the poll close after a certain amount of time.

Sounds interesting! However, things are rarely trivial or easy to implement in a large community like ours, so we have to choose where to spend our time and energy carefully.

Can you say more about how you think this feature would be used, and why you think it would benefit the Scratch community?

I think it would benifit because then you could see what people want. Like with this sort of stuff and with blocks that we want added to the next version of Scratch or other features. Other polls could just be fun!

I support compleatly!

I just searched for the suggestion of 'polls on the forums', and I found about 5 suggestions. In all 5 people agreed, and there was no posts from the Scratch Team why or why not this is implemented. I agree with polls, but I'm sort of curios why the Scratch Team hasn't explained why they don't have them already.     Usually the Scratch Team will explain why we don't have some features, like chat rooms.

Why are you curious? by the way there is a chatroom through Mesh  The Mesh chatroom.

All for it!

To add to you post, coolstuff even mentioned that it is easy to do:

Plus, polls are built in to FluxBB, so I don't see why they've stopped letting us use them 

It would be great for suggestions and really enhance the forum experience.

So allowing polls should not take so much time and effort unless special scratch functions are programmed into the polling system.

Off-Topic:
Aren't you the one who said that the rules should be more strict?

That got some very fevered responses...I wish I had time to read them all before it was deleted 

Nah, it wasn't deleted. The whole thing can still be read here.

Also any mod/team opinions?

You can see Lightnin's opinions at the top of this thread - and to be honest, our (moderator's) opinions count for just as much as yours
