Add polls to Forums
Could add Polls to forum topics, maybe have 5 poll options and people can vote on whatever they like. For example,

Who likes this Poll Idea?

~Yes 1010003340 people like this
~No 1 person dislikes this

Maybe have a level-based feature? So you must be level 15 to use it

This feature used to be on the forums. It was removed for a reason. The forums are for discussions not popularity contests.

Obviously it will be moderated exactly for that. Ban people who misuse it. It was removed because of abuse, and the moderators here are capable of scaring people into not using it for abuse. In Off topic, for example, you can put: Who likes this? Yes/No, but topics with Who laikes me yes/no/WhorU? will get deleted. Plus, making it Level Based makes people buy more cards, makes people buy more games and makes less immature people to abuse it.

It's more trouble than it's worth and it didn't result in accurate polling.

Considering other rule-breaking posts, I seriously doubt that last statement.

The Steam level doesn't correlate with maturity, but only with the amount you have spent. This would be a useless security cap of you wish to avoid immaturity.

So, no, I don't see it coming back.

Polls won't be added; they don't want them. The old forums had poll functionality but they disabled it. So I highly doubt they would ever add them here.

I don't see why not.
What part of Valve doesn't want to is too hard for you?

The part where we don't have polls. As i said in my post. So here i am adding my voice to Crusaders01's. If you feel so strongly that steam shouldn't have polls maybe you should start your own thread about it instead of commenting on this one?

Valve already said they don't want them, this is their platform. What you want is irrelevant.

You've never seen a mass movement have you? When everyone wants the same thing it is relevant.

This is VALVE'S platform. They are not gonna add something they EXPLICITLY DON'T WANT just because a few thousand people signed a change.org petition or something.
Get it into your thick head.

But they will if A lot of people publicly voice their opinion. But if you think that insulting me will help you then that only means that there is a chance they will and you oppose it. Ya know I've never understood what people like you get out of trying to put the people down. I mean if polls do get added it's not like it's going to negatively affect you. So wheres the hostility really coming from? Hmm?

no they wont. I don't think you understand that Valve doesn't WANT polls.

Insults? hostility? man, your people are really sensitive these days. If i had wanted to insult you i would actually have insulted you, with swear words and everything.

Anyway, I'm done talking to you. It's easier to get though a brick wall.

*tilts head* . . . My people? . . . I'm Swedish American. . .
And if you're idea of getting through a brick wall is getting someone to give up on making change in the world before they've even tried then i'm glad your not talking to me anymore. Take your hate somewhere else
