[poll] What do you think of polls

Please vote as an experiment on the forum’s poll feature.
Do the polls really serve their purpose?

  • Yes, otherwise why have this feature.
  • No, the sample size is too few on this forum.
  • I’m allergic to polls and would never vote in one.

Depends on what you consider their purpose to be.

Polls are nice.
You can limit the flooding of messages in a thread by allowing people to voice their opinion with a simple click.

Just because the sample size in this forum is bias doesn’t mean the polls are useless. As long as you keep that in mind it’s fine.

Just don’t come and argue that a poll that goes 95% against your opinion has to be rigged and everyone outside of this forum has a totally different opinion.
This forum is not a perfect representation of the fan base but it’s very unlikely that the forum will be extremely biased in one way.
The main bias I can see is that this forum is mostly in English and especially the Asian player base will likely be very underrepresented in here.

If you want the best possible results you should just make the same poll in different places like on Reddit, the official Discord or Social media (if you have enough followers) too.
This way you can compare the results across platforms, if all the polls show the same (or similar) results then they are likely pretty valid.
