I cant understand why they are popular, they have a kind of negative "Paradise Hotel" smell. 

But on the other hand, i think they are soon, to die out.

I participated in a couple of survivor polls at the beginning but quickly tired of them.
I do find myself getting annoyed by the large number of survivor polls,
But, I think anyone should be able to create a poll  about whatever they want to create a poll about.

Perhaps we could implement a limitation on the number of polls that can be created by a single user within a day.
This might help a little.
Prog On!

Just ignore them to death. Like any other thing - maybe except Chlamydia.

It depends on the time they'll... persist.

There's no need to separate anything, the prog polls are fine as they are.
If i made a mistake opening this poll or seemed insolent, I apologize, I just am annoyed by the abundance of survivor polls and wanted to see if there are others that feel the same.

A while back, we separated the polls out of the other forums to give other threads more of a chance. Do we now need to have separate polls sections to quarantine the knock-out style multiple polls (and perhaps the more frivolous head to heads) and allow the more considered polls to develop properly?
 
If so, how do we differentiate clearly?

I don't think separating polls would make any difference at all. We have the search feature.

They are boring, and have the unedifying characteristic of making one look forward to as Gandalff poll.

I would recommend creating an entirely new department in this forum, ie  "Survivors". And everyone would be satisfied.Approve

OPQ: Will we survive these Survivor Polls?

One of the answers: No, we won't, they're annoying already.

I have a question myself: who is "we"?

But to answer the OPQ, I don't give a s$%t about them ... but deep down I think we would be better off without them. Contests of tastes and trampling each other's feelings is a confusing business, although it's hard to let go of the fact that some people want to kill "Freewill" and "Thela Hun Ginjeet", and you want to take part in "helping out" your favorites.

Frankly, my dear, I don't care.
In fact, I almost don't check the Polls section of the forum anymore (maybe once a week, maybe less).
