Polling Thread January 2016

The next installment of the Polling Thread.

This is your chance to ask your multiple choice question you always wanted to throw in. Get qualified numeric feedback to your comments. Post fun polls.

These are the rules:

  1. Each poll goes into its own top level comment and may be commented there.

  2. You must at least vote all polls that were posted earlier than you own. This ensures participation in all polls and also limits the total number of polls. You may of course vote without posting a poll.

  3. Your poll should include a ‘don’t know’ option (to avoid conflict with 2). I don’t know whether we need to add a troll catch option here but we will see.

If you don’t know how to make a poll in a comment look at the Poll Markup Help.


This is a somewhat regular thread. If it is successful I may post again. Or you may. In that case do the following :

  • Use “Polling Thread” in the title.

  • Copy the rules.

  • Add the tag “poll”.

  • Link to this Thread or a previous Thread.

  • Create a top-level comment saying ‘Discussion of this thread goes here; all other top-level comments should be polls or similar’

  • Add a second top-level comment with an initial poll to start participation.
