Polls on some topics.

[Psammead]

Can we have them? Maybe not everywhere for fear of killing debate, but on topics such as baby names, it could be useful. Obv comments would be allowed as usual.

?

Hi Psammead,

Thank you for the suggestion.

Anyone else fancy this idea?

Oh yes please!

Especially fun on Baby Names. On another site I use people deliberately vote for the worst names in the hope someone will think that because 237 people voted that Vodka-Boo is the best name they will actually name their baby that!

DD is called Vodka-Boo, how very dare you?

I'd be pro it being there on baby names, but not necessarily on any other topic.

I think it could come in handy on, say, style and beauty ('which shoes with this dress?') and on Chat where you get quite a few 'option' threads.

I wouldn't want it on AIBU. The whole point is the discussion. But on trivial threads where people are being asked to choose between several options, I think it would be a nice addition.
