Is this really an issue ? I did a forum search for polls and came up with less than 10 hits.
Seems there are more people that want to talk about polls than those that want to actually post them.
Who cares ? I say leave it like it is that anyone can post a poll.
You might actually get someone posting an interesting topic that includes a poll ?
If a crap poll is posted (hardly a regular occurrence) then a mod can always lock or delete the thread.
Considering not much happens in this forum I'm gunna post a poll right now
