Poll: Do you like my poll?

2 pointsrewind2 comments

Do you enjoy polls that have a really useless question poorly disguised as genuine interest that give me karma?

But... answering the poll would not give you karma, right? That would happen only if one upvotes the poll itself. I really hope it works this way. I didn't upvote that "how old are you" pool, I believe I just voted.

Don't forget you can be downvoted too. Right now your karma is 944 and this (not really usefull) pool has no upvotes. Let's see where it goes...

Actually, I can't be downvoted for posting. That's part of the safety of it. You can only downvote a comment... so here's a comment ;-)

Really, I was just throwing a bit of commentary and intentional hypocrisy in there at the same time. The karma is meaningless.

Polls are great if either the question or answers (or ideally, both) are really well thought-out and interesting. That's not the case with a lot of the polls that hit the front page these days. But people keep voting them up, so the community has spoken.

It's not that big of a deal. I just felt like being a smart-ass.
