forum usage question

[jeex]

is there anyway to start a thread with a poll that can be voted in, but not commented in?

[Faustus]

Nope, I think if its locked you can't vote either. I'll check tho

[flaninacupboard]

If you're a mod you could create a thread with a poll and then lock it. not sure if the lock would stop the poll working though...

[Faustus]

Just tried, it locked the poll also. No go.

What do you have in mind? You can set a poll up with
a request not to post comments and the Mods can remove
any that do post.

[Cobra]

As offline suggests, why not just politely request that nobody posts up, only votes?

[Supreme2k]

Unless the post is a sticky, without comments, it will sink fast (hence, little to no votes).

[jeex]

well even though politics is banned. i was going to see if baldrick would let a US presidential poll allowed the week before the election.

[poll question]
who would you vote for?

[options]
john kerry
george w. bush
ralph nader/other
would/can not vote

i didnt want it to break out in to a political debate, so thats why i would have wanted to lock the thread, but still allowed voting. even if you ask for no posts, i'm sure it would break out in to a huge arguement.
