Threads with Polls

Ok, I can see that they might be fun. After the first day, though, the fun kind of pales and you click on a thread to find there's nothing new in it except that someone voted which I can't see, anyway, since the chance that I've voted is about zero.

I'd like to make a small request: there's an option on making a poll-thread to have it time-out after some selectable period. Please use this feature and make the period short.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I think eveyone here agrees with you on this and this was supposed to be implemented, but nothing has been done about it.

Again, we need a mod for this section of the board that is here and willing/ has time to maintain the section on a daily basis.

Amen to that. We have a great mod but having him in absentia does us no good at all.

Do all mods have access to the whole board or can they be restricted to one forum such as this one? I wouldn't have thought it'd be a big deal to make a regular to this forum a mod in here, but I can't see them creating a new mod if that person would have free reign over the whole board.

It is possable for a mod to only have "mod powers" in this forum and be a regular member in all others... It literally takes a click of a mouse to do it.

This thread was long overdue; apparently Guinness's poll was too ironic/playful to get the point across. These anonymous polls that record votes over periods of months/years serve no purpose whatsoever.

To nobody's surprise, given my periodic and somewhat facetious advocacy of my own candidacy, I agree about the need for a training forum mod (or mods). Would this call for a bump of that "Any input..." thread in which we constructed the sticky?

IMO, polls shouldn't be allowed at all on this forum (actually any forum 'cept C&C). and yea, we do need a mod... CS is a good choice for that... anybody listening?

I'm listening.

Bump.

We've been abandoned. The Bookie forum and the Science forum are completely without mods. At least we have one even if he's mostly a figurehead

It's strange that on a cite as busy as EF, it's rare for a mod to even stick their head in this forum. There have been multiple issues/complaints raised in various threads which then sink to page 2, and you're telling me that not a single mod has happened to even stop by during those times and catch those threads? Weird. We did have some results w/ the training vault sticky, but otherwise, it's weird that mods are totally absent. Seems reasonable to make a mod out of one guy w/ some brains and interest in training. there are some on the 'net I've heard.
