Forums

In my opinion, creating a function that allows us to put up voting polls for our threads would be a step in the right direction. This creates many things, but most importantly the ability to allow people to get involved on a thread that they may not have time to input their thoughts or ideas, this could even encourage more people to comment on threads as well!

It gives an important visual side of things other than a theoretical, which is important to have when discussing topics and brainstorming new ideas. More freedom for the players to create a spark for their threads will only benefit the game, especially in the long run by contributing to the overall player experience that RuneScape delivers.

* With this it is important that Jagex inputs a warning stating that Polls might not always be accurate, Flammer's and others may contribute false votes to induce problems* etc. We must stand together and not allow them to dictate what is right or wrong for our RuneScape forums.

I do appreciate the advice, but I'm more progressive on the fact that it is best for the company themselves *Jagex* to implement this feature on their forums. It's more of a professional approach and I believe it is the right thing to do, it also provides confidence to the player base that Jagex, knows what they're doing by creating a fun, encouraging, outgoing environment for the community to experience, rather than to see the players kind of take matters into their own hands.

I am ecstatic that Runescape 3 does not follow suit with the voting polls on OSRS for adding new content. I found it very unreliable to create a stable, good, functioning game and if there were problems to occur it would most likely fall on deaf ears, no body would take blame and nothing would get fixed.

I did find it interesting with the polls they used to have on their main website, seeing what Jagex was thinking about and being able to give an opinion on it was nice. At the same time hopefully they did not take those polls to serious.

The voting polls for threads would be implemented for the community to enhance their creativity when it comes to a creating a vibrant more engaging, but not to serious experience here on the forums.

I've seen some members of the web team at Jagex state over the years that they'd love to put work into the forums and make them a better place. A poll-thread feature would be one of many end-user QoL features that the forums could have if time could be allocated to improvement of this platform.

The forums we have today are leaps and bounds above what existed at the start (just ask Tuffty, I think he came pre-installed with version 1 ).

As for your specific suggestion, I don't believe you're the first to suggest it and I also wouldn't see anything wrong with having something like this - assuming a lot of the things the forums need come first. Poll-threads are kinda non-essential, right? I mean, they're cool but you can kinda do it already by just letting people pick options and tallying votes yourself into the OP or linking in a straw poll as Tuffty mentioned. So, at the end of the day it's just a little extra fun bit that someone could add to their thread.

Again, nothing wrong with it in my eyes if it were to happen as I have no good or valid reasons as to why it shouldn't be done. In my opinion, this is one of a very long, long list of things the forums are either in need of, could benefit from, or just fun extra features.
