Should Fun Polls be broken into separate on- & off-topic polls?

How 'bout cutting Fun Polls in half & creating HR Polls & Off-Subject Polls.

It's annoying looking for something like "Did Homestar & Marzipan break-up again this halloween?" or "Homestar & Homsar? If they were brothers, would they be smart enough to remember?" drowning in a sea of "Which cheese tastes the best?", "Who's your favorite Marvel Supervillian?", & "Which color combination makes the best shade of brown?"

Well, you can add a poll to any thread in the top section, so we don't really need two separate poll sections.

I kinda like this idea. If the [s]noobs[/s] new people want to answer the H*R polls, they will all be right there for them.

what if you're specifically in the mood to browse on-subject polls & don't feel like filtering through non-poll posts in the on-topic section?

It's not that hard to find polls; just look for [Poll] next to the thread title.

I've noticed that Homestar Runner polls tend to get moved to the Fun Polls section. Why is that?

Never noticed that. Could you give an example?

I'm sure there is a way to auto-ban a user every time they try to create a poll.

Yes, complete segregation...

I support this idea.

Well, I did move this one into Fun Polls myself.

Basically, if I think that the thread exists solely for the poll, then it should be moved to Fun Polls. If the poll is part of a larger topic of discussion, then it can stay where it is. If the admins disagree, then I'll go with whatever they say. Otherwise, I'm inclined to stick with this system unless it's clear that the majority wants it to change.
