Adaptation of comment voting to polls is awkward. There are free poll web services. Below is the same poll, implemented in the first service I stumbled on in Google:

Click here to vote!

There doesn't seem to be a "view results" button, and I don't want to vote again for fear of screwing with the results. How did the poll turn out?

I hadn't yet voted. Having done so now, the results are:

  • 43%: temporary moratorium (28 votes)
  • 38%: no restrictions (25 votes)
  • 9%: restrict to a number of threads (6 votes)
  • 6%: total ban (4 votes)
  • 3%: a marvelous idea which this poll is too small to contain (2 votes)

OT: Nice poll. BTW - who is the other person who voted from Edinburgh?

By the way, this setup seems to remove punctuation when graphing, which turns "1-2 months" into "12 months". (It keeps the punctuation when asking the question, though, so it shouldn't skew the results.)

Fixed.
