I think if a newbie can't submit vote here on current forum system then should not be allowed here to create a poll too.
I created this new thread because our current voting rules looks conflicting to me
It isn't conflicting beside it'll be harsh of theymos to denial newbie the right to create polls. A project that needs community opinion can register on Bitcointalk and create a poll for community feedbacks but with your suggestion they won't have the privilege to do so since they're newbie.
The system is working just fine the way it's, newbie can create poll (for information, educational etc purpose) but can't vote (to avoid manipulation).
