Hello all!  
I think it would be awesome, if we could get a Poll/Vote-Feature for the Forum. That way someone could ask a specific question, give several answer options and let the user vote for their answer. Maybe about 10 (max) answers or so. 😆

For example:

That way it would be easier to see the user feedback combined. 🕶

Hmm, I always found polls (not pools 😛) gimmicky. They never garner a lot of attention outside of the few active members and the odd lurkers. But why not?

Hmm, a poll would suggest some kind of democracy in action… Whereas I think we have a benign tyranny here…

First poll: I vote for tyranny 🙂

It’s a nice idea, but I believe these forums are powered by an outside force, not actually editable by the devs.

If they’re capable of having polls implemented, then I guess it’d be fine for feature suggestions or one-off topics. So long as everyone doesn’t start adding them for the sake of having them I’d be fine with it.

Do polls work in replies in this forum? 😛

We should take a poll to see if people want polls…

Ha, brilliant work gang!  
For future reference, the Gems of War forums run on the Discourse platform, so anything for that should work here such as poll code.
