Should we ban the "Radioactive Monkey Anwser"...

[Sims2789]

...As well as other anwsers that skew the percentages in polls. It gets really annoying when 12% or so of a poll is a joke anwser. What I want to know is, do you think, as I think, that the "Radioactive Monkey Anwser" should be banned from CivFanatics?

Maybe we should have a contest for a new option maybe something like..........sexy fish toes.....

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Do people take polls here, or elsewhere, seriously?

I'm not sure lets start a poll to find out.

 

[JonathanValjean]

Yes, I think it's time for the monkey to go. He has worn out his welcome.

I refuse to vote on a poll without the radioactive monkey option!

Sims, I think your efforts may improve if you contact ARMS (Anti-
Radioactive Monkey Society). It is a real society and very active, just do a google search and you'll easily find them.
Good luck.

I'm kinda disappointed that for a poll about the radioactive monkey option, there is no radioactive monkey option.

I reckon keep it. If you want decent results, you need the people who just vote to change the results in some way to vote for something other than a serious answer.

no! its 'tradition'

Evil Authoritarian Robots are better.

Only Mr. President should reserve the right to use the option and give others permission to use it.

 

[Goober]

No. Enough said, I like OT because of the "Radioactive" options in polls, do not make it all serious, like the Model Parliment . . .

 

[Perfection]

We should ban the Radioactive Monkey Question!

Where is the radioavtive monkey option? Now come on, how can you have a poll without radioactive monkeys, it's preposterous.

Of all the things in the world to be annoyed that has to rank fairly low down on the chart.

Hmm...that's actually a good idea. Wait a minute, someone is using the giant radioactive monkey option without my permission...to the lawyermobile!

I dunno what it's about, but this is not the only BBS with a fetish for radioactive monkeys.

We should come up with a new joke option. I never really found the radioactive monkey to be that funny. IMO that option is for people that have no knowledge on an issue or don't care, so it isn't really affecting the poll results. Just ignore the percentages if it really annoys you.

 

[Achinz]

Yes!

Strictly speaking we're all radioactive anyway

 

[Aphex_Twin]

The option buffers some of the random voting, so surprisingly, radioactive-mokney polls can be more accurate.

 

[stormbind]

@ Aphex, you converted me

I vote for making Radioactive-monkeys compulsory, and not because I like the option, cause I think it's stupid
