    I've seen alot of polls on the site in which the answers have little parenthetical descriptions in which the creator is inserting their bias. Stop it. Please. Just put the answers in the simplest most concise manner possible. The bias can be saved for the discussion, but putting it in the poll skews the results and it's difficult for me to watch.

    I feel like you should have posted a poll to find out whether people like these terrible polls or not.

    I thought about it as I hit post and felt deep personal sadness at a great opportunity that was missed. It would've included such a great amount of parenthetical descriptors that I might ironically demonstrate my point but aw well.

    Boozha is right. I don't necessarily know that I've seen alot but I've seen more than one and it annoyed me. Most notably this one.

    Do you think people should stop making terrible polls?
    • Yes (I think that polls should be unbiased in his conception, and that silly parenthetical statements like this one doesn't help with that)
    • No (I am a moron that doesn't understand how a proper poll is done)
    Your vote will be publicly visible

    Why doesn't this thread have a poll about who wants to see the end of terrible polls?

    • Did the OP make this thread because he didn't like the result?
    • Are the people who voted on that thread brain dead and influenced by a few notes on the side?
    • The voters would of voted the same regardless of side notes?
    Vote now!
