Great poll on the sidebar now, list of names with no question or context

Probably should be an admin flag to prioritize or just to even put a poll on the sidebar.

Hi there zamachowiec, sorry I had to disable the poll, because right now we’re running the annual People’s Choice poll for the Old Lumens Contest, and we need that poll to appear in the sidebar. After that’s over I’d be glad to reactivate your poll. Sorry for the hassle.

Who are you? Just registered on forum and already opening polls. First off all read forum for a half year or so then ask.
What is portable? Smallest? Best for what? Thrower, flooder, EDC….? Eficiency? Light quality?

Sorry, but this member, as any other member, has the possibility to open polls independently of the time of registration. This is not as other forums where you need to have seniority to be able to say “Hi!”.

So, I’d say that it’s better to stop with this kind of hostility…
If anyone can say something like what you said is the forum owner and administratior sb56637 .

It is a bummer, though, because, as G0OSE mentioned, there is a poll open for the people to vote in the Old Lumens Contest People´s Choice 2020 .

So, if by any means it is possible to put the OL Contest voting on the side of our page again, without erasing this poll, it would be great.

Agreed, no need to be quite so harsh - but, new or not - they can read, they can see the date it was posted, and they can see the ‘1 week’ bit.
That said, there is nothing to say ‘do not remove’ or ‘no new polls for a week’ - I think it is possible to lock it in though, the exact same thing happened last year if you remember lol! Bad timing is the main villain here I am sure sb will sort it. :+1:
Generally polls (IMO) shouldn’t be used for selecting ‘personal’ items though, ie, what light to get/what is best - that sort of thing should really be in a regular post, but that is just my opinion. There are certainly no rules against it - more of a etiquette thing, and that is on any forum, not just here.
Also those lights are so different, it’s not a very good question anyway - unanswerable really, without more details on what they want it for. Also taste plays a big role in choosing, no matter what suggestions pop up.

G0OSE:

Some idiot has posted a new poll over it :person_facepalming: can people not read??

Forget your notion of “poll etiquette” How about some for just posting on the forum?

There’s nothing to read for those who don’t know what your getting mad about. Not even a link to the thread from the poll.

Only thing clear is who not to vote for

You know full well I immediately removed that. You must have held on to that all day just to poke.
I realised it was out of order, and it was on here about 2 minutes - then i deleted it because i thought it rude and realised I shouldn’t have posted it.
That was first thing this morning 9 am ish - some 9 ish hours ago. Why you felt the need to drag it up from then I have no idea.
Why you are so angry at me pointing you towards the reasoning I don’t know either - you stated you didn’t know what it was about, I merely posted the answer.

??? again you’re full of assumptions.
It’s still posted here (where i saw it) People's Choice 2020 - closed at 74 votes Congratulations G0OSE !

I said its not clear what its about (even if I know) … its just a random poll that’s on every page so there’s no context.
I don’t know why you’re thinking its so clearly laid out and clear no one should be posting a poll.
Your bs reasoning and getting mad at someone posting a poll is why i’m quoting you

Same to you

Lot of discussion on “votes” lately (JOKE!!!)

… and SC31 Pro for clip small pocket or IF25a for jacket pocket or backpack. Great all-rounders with excellent 6.5k light’s with some throw if for outdoor use (closer to 6K to my eye anyway).
