Rage polls

[Smoothrich]

The cRPG community isn't mature or responsible enough to handle polls, regardless of admins being on or off, or people being punished for it.  Permanently disable them for every server.

Just one more thing. Polling is probably the worst form of griefing because it affects the whole server not just those who are in vicinity of a griefer. That's why it should be severely punished.

What? What is so bad about polls, your personal opinion of polls seems a lot different than mine.

how is a poll bad? just fucking ignore it

polls are a must in online games, i have found myself countless times typing in the chat: banpoll incoming for player X, reason: [enter a valid reason here like tk, griefing...] to find out that polls are disabled. Those guys read that you wanted to banpoll them and just laugh. they dont stop, they just go on, knowing that you are defenceless. I dont want to wait for an admin to read my banrequest on the forums and i dont want to take 10 screens first so i can have a good ban request. In that time, they already gave the whole server a bad time during a full hour. its just not cool.

Allow me to present to you with what i have experienced with polls depending on server.

On NA there is no polls (anymore), but mind you the second it gets turned on people start votekicking for anything. Even if they only dislike the playstyle of a person, even tho they do nothing wrong.

It's the exact same on EU, just all the time. I have been votekicked/banned from EU_4 so many times by the russian shielders i've lost count. Always a poll against someone.

Not only does it interupt the gameplay for those that actually fight, it's uncalled for in 95% of the cases.

Turn it off!

Whenever a poll comes up I press 2. Done.

Way to ruin polls, just press esc if you have no opinion on the subject. This way polls indeed get fucking useless.

[no_rules_just_play]

i really hate that when people just press 2. I write a announcement in the chat before a poll and still nobody actually reads it and just presses 2. Its annoying because 40% of the server actually knows whats happening and presses 1 while the other part of the server just doesnt care and presses 2. Its not because that griefer/teamhitter is in the other team that he doesnt need to be removed.
Also people saying they press 2 because the poll distorts their view, thats fucking bullshit, i often let it open and ask for a reason and wait untill i get any response.

People don't like polls mainly because they are annoying.
But look how polls looks like in WFAS.

If you are alive in game, the poll looks like this:

(click to show/hide)

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

When you press 1-2-3, or if you are dead or in spectator mode, then regular poll window appears:

(click to show/hide)

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

If you press 1 or 2 in this window, you will vote (just like in cRPG), if you press 3 it hides/shows this poll window.

If you don't open poll window before time ends, you vote is counted as NO. So votes without stating a reason are almost always ignored by players and rejected (unless someone is known troll or it's map change poll etc).

This way, people busy fighting won't be bothered by polls and all rage polls without a reason will be rejected anyway. Devs can also add possibility to set poll reason for person who makes it.
Wouldn't be much better to make user friendly polling for cRPG, than arguing who deserves a ban for making useless poll and who doesn't?

[no_rules_just_play]

weird, i dont have this feature and im pretty sure im alive almost all the time :/

[Angellore]

Oh, I forgot to add it's because I have this mod installed.
Anyway, the point stays same - just make user friendly voting in cRPG!

True dat!

I don't get why people are so annoyed at polls, they barely cover the screen, and they are a great way for people that don't speak english well to "communicate".
