1. OK how are we supposed to know?

this came from our local club. I shall inform them what you said!

[scheming daemons]

6. This is the polling equivalent of a rick roll.... it is a FAKE poll...

The numbers do not change.

It is a honeypot, meant to gather IP addresses.



You've been had.



*AND*.... there's been 50+ OPs on this poll over the past two weeks. You'd have to be LITERALLY living in a cave to have missed them.

[Ashy Larry]

9. What would be the purpose of gathering IP addresses?

[scheming daemons]

12. Actually... gathering what sites people are coming to the site from.... get a measure of the

"DU effect" and the "Freeper effect".

[The Magistrate]

2. It is Not That Much Of A Problem, Sir: It Is Easy To Ignore

A lot of people find out about for the first time, after all, every day....

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. yes for the first time today

if it is something that people have seen a million times then they should ignore and send the OP a message not keep posting to it! we can delete it if it makes them feel better.

3. Skinner should pin it at the top of the board. nt

[Bubbha Jo]

4. They mean no harm. Let's not be mean.

[LiberalAndProud]

5. It's so absurd, it's funny.

The poll pops up every 3 hours. One of the threads will earn a DUzy, I swear.

[SwampG8r]

7. someone check the records

and send jeff number 100
make it a big event
like a supermarket opening or something?

[Mojorabbit]

10. I am getting emails to vote

in that poll everyday from all manner of groups I belong to.

8. Pipe down Francis.

Next thing you know we'll be cutting off peoples hands for stealing.

[scheming daemons]

11. I was being snarky and sarcastic.....

[Rosa Luxemburg]

17. yes well next time

why don't you send me a message on DU!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

15. I don't think people here are being respectful

after all we are supposed to be on the same side. If a poll has already been posted a zillion times ignore it and send the OP a message! It doesn't help if all the comments are snide.

[Lorien]

14. Just lock 'em. n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

16. do it

[Beausoir]

18. OR...you could expend all that energy and actually HELP someone in your own community.

Who the F actually cares about an internet poll?

How many hungry children are living within 20 miles of your house?

What are you doing to help them?
