I don't want to pull up examples of this but every week or so I spot a newbie who is trying to get an answer to their question in the Bitcoin Technical Support section and they add a useless poll in the hope of adding something extra to their thread so people will spot it.

Say the topics subject is "Have I lost my bitcoin?"

The poll would then read:
Question: "Have I lost my bitcoin?"(same as the subject)
The answers are then either:
• Yes they're gone
• No they're not
or
• Have I
• Lost my Bitcoin.

I'm not sure if this is something the mods tackle also as those threads aren generally ones where the op only returns as a guest and doesn't post again as the issue usually gets solved within the first firw posts.

I get putting poles in the market place or in some of the bitcoin discussion boards as they're good for research, I just don't see a point of it in the techincal support board.
