Hello,
I was thinking that when a user posts a thread they should be able to include a poll/vote.
An example would be when a user posts a suggestion they could include a vote with options "Support" and "No support." Etc.

Good or Bad?

Advantantages
- Easier for people to express opinions
- Rather than counting responses you can count the votes.
- Players can ask for an opinion on something.
- Etc.

Disadvantages
- Could encourage flaming or alt abuse.

Conclusion - Personally I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The disadvantage of flaming could easiliy be balanced by anonymous voting (Player's votes would not be made public).
Post your responses, Please refrain from trolling or flaming. If you do not support please explain why.
Thank you for reading.

Absolutely not.

1. Encourages No Supports without reasoning, which is forbidden.

2. Encourages laziness, (oh, come on, a sentence or two explaining your stance and reasons won't kill ya)

3. Makes trolling and alt abuse easier.

No, no and no support!

How hard is is to count the votes by scrolling down? Instead of harrasing roblox every day on new things, let them make new gear, hats and games!

@Watevs44 : Thank you for your opinion, I will now take these into consideration.

1) Does not really matter if done on a vote, but yes you have a good point here.
2) Although the players do not need to write much the moderators/staff etc can easily see what percentage of people support or not by looking at the statistics rather than having to go through every page.
3) I did mention this in the OP (Original post). Alt abuse could be nulified by allowing one vote per IP address or only allowing BC members to vote.

Most forums have a system like this and I think it would fit roblox forums well.

@sethrow445

Suggestions that are taken into account are usually the ones with lots of pages, popular threads with a lot of replies, Imagine more than 20 pages, it would be time consuming having to count every post in that thread.

"1) Does not really matter if done on a vote, but yes you have a good point here."

Did you like miss everything I said? IT ENCOURAGES SOMETHING FORBIDDEN IN THE FORUMS. SOMETHING THAT HINDERS THE PROGRESSION OF ROBLOX. Do you really want that on your conscience?

"2) Although the players do not need to write much the moderators/staff etc can easily see what percentage of people support or not by looking at the statistics rather than having to go through every page."

Again, totally flying by exactly what I just said.

1. Things would go pear-shaped if mods based their decisions solely on "statistics"

2. ENCOURAGES LAZINESS, just write out a reason and no support/support, c'mon.

--

"3) I did mention this in the OP (Original post). Alt abuse could be nulified by allowing one vote per IP address or only allowing BC members to vote"

This is a unnecessary and not productive in any way.
