Dead Polls  

70 members have voted

  1. 1. If someone bumps tons of year(s)-dead polls in one day, is that annoying?

    • Yes, let most dead polls rest in peace
      19
    • It's not annoying if they bump one poll instead of making a new redundant poll and they have something to add, but 5 or 6 is obnoxious
      28
    • No, I love to stroll down memory lane with old polls

I get mildly irritated when I see one name as the latest poster who has bumped 5 polls in one day and has just answered "yes" or "we are 2 months apart" or something. But then I should probably be using my time a little better...

I'm with you Alex! They're just desperately trying to post boost so they can get a heart. Pathetic, but at the same time I'd rather they revive this kind of ####### than "serious" posts.

And like you, I should probably be using my time better!!!

I can't help but feel as if this was directed at me! If I am annoying I'm sorry! I was just curious as to people's responses to the polls. Plus I was bored and not original enough to create my own! Sorry!

Nah, it happens like six times a week. But apparently a lot of people enjoy looking at old polls, so I guess it's not a big deal to most poeple.

I think the thing that is rather annoying is how some dredge up polls from a year ago or more. Please...let it go. :wacko:

Yes, that is what bugs me too. I was weirded out recently to see myself quoted on the last page of a poll talking about being engaged. Then I noticed the date was from about 10 months ago! I prefer not to see things I wrote so long ago.

I really don't think dredging up old polls is all that bad.... :unsure: ... it might spark a new conversation because more people see the post that might have not seen it the first time around...

I don't think anybody can win around here :blink: when someone posts a poll or whatever that has been posted before they are usually ripped apart and when an old poll or thread is dredged up the person usually gets ripped apart :blink: .. what's a person to do?? :unsure:

also old threads sometimes get dredged up because the thread shows up at the bottom of a newer post as a related thread .......

:thumbs: we actually used to have a pinned thread stating "search old polls prior to making a new one" :lol:

I have to confess it irritates me. I also have to confess that I've done that. When I was a newbie (still in Brazil, really bored with absolutely nothing to do), I resuscitated lots of threads. I had a few people giving me a hard time about it. Back then I was offended, cuz they were not old threads which subjects should be buried, but they were old polls and I haven't had chance to vote on them.

Nowadays I find it irritating because I like to check new polls and vote on them, but with all the old threads on first page I have to search for it, which is annoying.

So I can understand why someone would resuscitate old threads, I don't blame them for it, I also can understand why that piss off many people. :P

Not really, I rarely come in here and when I do I just check if I have already answered to that poll. I rather have people doing a search and voting in that poll than making 10 polls about "what's your age difference", "how long without seeing each other", etc.

I dont mind bringing back older polls (they can still be interesting) but what gets me is when a congrats you got your approval notice is brought back after several months.
