Not for me, but for those who are using the AIBU buttons for inane poll taking threads.

Hi there OP, what kind of function did you have in mind? Something different from the voting buttons in AIBU?

AdditionalCharacter · 16/10/2020 12:17

A whole topic section for poll taking, so buttons like on AIBU.

I agree, OP. People are now using AIBU for polling questions that aren't AIBUs, so you keep seeing things like:

Please vote:

YABU = brown with purple and green stripes.
YANBU = an alligator

etc.

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll pass that idea on Flowers

JemimaTiggywinkle · 16/10/2020 16:14

I agree, this would be great

It's crap threads like this that need a poll taking section.

Asterion · 24/10/2020 12:11

Or just allow polls on threads. No special section needed.

Any further forward on this?

I'd rather you just abolished all voting tbh

AdditionalCharacter · 22/01/2021 17:20

That's an even better solution

Fed up with the "what to do for tea tonight yanbu takeaway because you deserve it or YABU stop being a lazy cow bag and cook" threads. AIBU used to be good for debates with the occasional funny thread, now they're just crap.

Hi OP

Not at the moment, we're afraid - but we always pass on feedback and act on it if we think it's something that would work for the site. Flowers
