Question about versus threads in the new forum

[SuperKamiNappa]

Should they have polls? We technically determine the winner through voting anyway

Probably not. I don't know how the polls work, but I'm guessing you can't change your answer once you put it in, which happens quite a bit in vs threads

 

[Ionliosite]

I personally think they shouldn't.

 

[Ogbunabali]

They shouldn't. Anyone can vote on a poll without any reason. In a normal match you at least have to make an argument for something and then the FRAs are determined based on that. If the argument that made the FRA train is debunked so are the votes, this isn't something that can be done with a poll, at least not reliably.

Polls are decently customizable, so there is enough versatility.

It would be too troublesome to make them a requirement, however an argument can be made to mention them as something 'recommended'.
But there is the issue of voting without providing reason/justification. So I am leaning on no, unless the votes are public and the thread creator asks people to provide justification before their votes are counted/not-ignored.

Nah like everyone said above. Clicking an answer without even responding to the thread with an actual argument as to why one or the other wins would make things troublesome and confusing.

The only use the poll system would have is tracking the number of people on a side.
