That will never happen in a forum that has hundred post threads with walls of text about the Scottish referendum, compulsory insurance for cyclists/climbers etc etc. Other forums have polls yet healthy debate, there's no link here.
> 2. If everyone started posting polls on all manner of subjects, people would quickly get bored of participating.
They might get over-used for about a week or so then things will settle down. Polls will be attached to threads, they will simply add another dimension to something that would have been posted anyway.
I don't really see any downside. The only thing I can think off is that UKC might not feel it's worth the time to implement it.
