because members making polls by accident instead of new topics, and stupid reasons for polls.well detn8r I agree to your pt and thats why i gave this suggestion
if u want, u can keep a limit of say 50 posts for creating a poll
i think a person posting 50 posts may be experienced enuf to create a new topic and not poll, or u can inc the limit to say 100 posts!!!
also for anotherQuote:quote:detn8r wrote:
stupid reasons for polls.if u limit the polls to users like I already said
or you can allow each person to post a poll say 3 times a month…
I think that problem can also be solved!!!and also thanx for supporting me on the point of IM!!! but its upto Jeff to implement it or not!!!
July 6, 2003 at 10:28 am #93880magistykMemberNo, even then the problem is not solved. Because before polls were only open to members and it was getting out of hand.You have some good ideas, but those ideas will not change how BigBlueBall is currently run. I liked the idea for PM, but I also think it would be abused and is not needed on the site. Thanks for your ideas and input.
July 6, 2003 at 12:19 pm #93875rustedtightMemberI cant see a problem here…. If you wish to contact a member or moderator its simple, its available. If you wish to suggest a poll its simple, its available, contact a Moderator or email admin. dont try to change what is an evolving, dynamic and successful forum.
All of these things you suggest have been tried tested and rejected, the end result is as you see here the worlds greatest forum.
DONT TRY TO CHANGE IT.
Trust the admin here to know how to run a forum.July 6, 2003 at 12:50 pm #93886BrianMemberI’m happy with the way Jeff and his Moderators run this wonderful site. SO other members should be happy too. All decisions should be left up to Jeff, if you have suggestions, you could easily send him a message more privately rather than using this then maybe he’ll take your suggestions more seriously. 🙂
July 6, 2003 at 3:50 pm #93879magistykMemberFurthermore, the moderators and Jeff had a discussion about PMs and Polls when we switched to the new version of forums.

July 6, 2003 at 4:09 pm #93891coolguyj2Memberoh ****

why?? why?? why??
nways thanx every1 for their valuable inputs and suggestions….
its upto Jeff to decide…July 6, 2003 at 4:53 pm #93872Jeff HesterKeymasterQuote:quote:Originally posted by detn8rYou may not reply to the email junk you recieve, BUT it does not stop them from sending it. I have already gotten viruses sent to me because of my email being open for members to send me stuff.
I just want to clarify something here about email. First, your email is NOT open for other members to see. If they look at your profile, your actual email address is hidden. Unless you’ve posted your email address in a forum topic, or your signature, or used it for your MSN Messenger info, in which case all bets are off.
When someone sends you an email through this forum, it is sent from our web server using plain text. It cannot contain a virus. They can, however, send you a malicious web URL (not at http://www.bigblueball.com, of course) that could, if you were dumb enough to click it, take you to a site that attempts to infect you. Nothing new here, and nothing different from the tricks that malcontents play via PM, IM, email, etc…
At any rate, the email solution is the safest, most private solution available. We all have and use email. Let’s keep it simple.
As for the issue of member-created polls, I’m willing to flex a bit on that. I’ll create a special forum where members can create polls, and if it looks good, I’ll move it to the appropriate forum. This should eliminate the accidental creation of forums. Sound good?

Trust the admin here to know how to run a forum.So why do you think Jeff has this forum in the first place? “The BigBlueBall Suggestion Box” I do believe it is here for a reason. I’ve given Jeff dozens of ideas, thoughts, and comments to inprove 3b. and 90% of them Jeff implimited. Jeff is an awesome administrator, be he isnt perfect. (no offense mr. B) Thats where we can come in, and help.
As for the email thing, I do enjoy it not being released in open text to the public, but like I said, it still allows easy SPAM. About a month or two ago, I got that email about sending friggen some jow blow in africa hundreds of dollars to save him, and help her (not true) And to top it, the bastard posted the same email in every forum here. And as for the virus, I do admitt, it probably was my mistake for adding it to my signature, and having it as my IM contact, it doesnt help. I reported the virus to Jeff last year. (and, the thing that really pissed me off about it, was it came from a moderator.) I wont say who, but apparently, they had added me to their contact list, and it forwarded it to my inbox.
