polls should not be a requirement for a suggestion and should be optional for many reasons
the first reason being that the difference between voting on a poll and leaving a reply is that the poll results can be easily manipulated by people who send the link to someone and tell them to vote for which option, and it allows people who do not play on that server to easily decide on what happens on there even though it does not concern them as they do not go on it. with leaving a reply, you have to actually give a reason why your +vouching or -vouching the suggestion and you are not anonymously voting versus with the polls.
if you only read the top and bottom of this thread because your lazy, ill re-clarify that i am not saying we should get rid of polls in total, but make them optional because some people just dont like them.
