- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Yeah, I was going for maximum 90s while maintaining legibility of the important bits. Otherwise we would have had white text on a yellow background as well.

...was to allow too many "human nature" and "society" based topics on the forums...
all your lore rests on what slashdot is in the memory of some oldfags, and you are not taking care of that lore very well...
Here is one example, from one of my recent conversations...
-human being says: well communists did this and that bad...
-me says: yes, but they also gave military education to all above 18...
-human being says: yes, but they frightened us
-me says: yes, but you had all the means and education to throw a revolt...
-human being says: yes, but we are too delicate to do those kind of things... we are sweet, we smell good, and we want others to die for us... also they threatened with concentration camps...
-me says: fuk u fucking jewfag liar...
(interesting to note that in romania the revolt came when the faggots saw that the russians just left east germany, so there is nothing to fear if they throw a tantrum)
Is this the kind of shit you want on your site?
so how can you want your forums to be taken seriously, when the people who are modded up are the traitors and faggots, and the people who fall to trollmods are the ones who would be there for you in times of need?
i say, of you want this place to become anything, ban those that are "too human"...
