Mylot Should Have a Poll Function.

i noticed that there are a lot of posts that pose a yes or no question, or a question with choices, and i find it bothersome to encounter responses that just says "yes", or "i agree". now if there was a poll function in a discussion, then all those yes and nos that clutter the response pages will be prevented. now as mylot community member, it is important to have the betterment of mylot in our minds. (i dont know why i have to say that). i guess to prevent abuse, there should be no incentive for voting in a poll. but even so, i think it will improve the quality of discussions since you will see via statistics what the mylot community feels. and also, people could say something about the topic anyway through responses. what do you think? i guess i could've written this better but im in a hurry.

I don't think that people would use the polls instead of questions if they knew they weren't going to get paid for it. The people asking the short yes/no questions are just being lazy in their attempt at making $$. We as users should instead be reporting and rating properly, not just reporting what pisses us off or giving positives to everyone who responds.
