Could it be possible to make polls more visible? Maybe a special icon for a thread containing a poll? Or even a special setting that could notify me with an email about every poll being started on the forums?
I feel like I missed way too many polls on the old forum and didn't get to contribute to things, and now I'm always just skimming through Ideas and Feedback -subforums to see if there are any important polls going on.
Took me far too long again to realize there was
this discussion going on. Could it be made possible that every poll opened would send a private message to everyone, just announcing that there's a poll going on? They're usually connected in some big thing and right now the polls are at least a little skewed because it's not easy for the not-so-regular forum reader to find these polls.
Also, right now there are these polls going on:
"Config Poll: Enforce Human Authority" in General Discussion.
"[POLL]Should the Assistant role have reduced Antag status?" in Ideas.
"Should large Syndicate bombs be restricted to nuke ops?" in Feedback.
All of these threads have a poll in them and one of them has already been accepted as an official change to the code!
I don't know if some of these are in the wrong sections of the forums, but the main thing is: it's too damn hard to casually skim around the forum for important discussions and affect the game's evolution, other than to look at active topics and look through every thread hoping there's an important poll in them waiting for player feedback.
