CivGeneral said:Another thing to bring onto the table about polls is to debate wether or not to use the Public Polls for Offical polls.
(Non-offical polls such as Informal and Survey polls should be exempt from the poll regulations so long as they are stated so)

I was refering to polls such as the "Citizen's Pulse" polls which are basicly survey polls which gives a deaper impression on what the citizens feel about the game in general.donsig said:If a poll is to be exempt then what is the purpose of having such a poll? Leaving the door open allows for any and all polls to be unofficial/informal thereby undermining the regulations. Unless regulations are applied to all polls there might as well be no regulations at all.

Provolution said:Why not repost the darn Polling 101 and learn us this magic trade, in place of keeping it as a classified mocking tool for garnering undeserved political power and persecuting hapless pollers not introduced to this secret lore of yours. When all of us have learnt this higher art, it will be democratized, and would be hard to use as a sophist tool of supressing debaters someone does not agree with. Also pin down the Will of the people when we are at it. All DG experience brought into this game should be documented and polled into the legislation.
