Live Poll: Why Would You Avoid Voting in a Poll?

But I kept option #7: I only watch literature filmings, so I just can vote for adequate polls. ... because the option is very special way beyond the question of genre or subject.

I guess you hate that poll idea. Thank you anyway. I've put in "book adaptions" instead of literature filmings. "This poll consists of only options, I extremely dislike or hate" and "This poll has no options that I am familiar with" ... ... are already packed in the last option. I just have chosen a way less aggressive, but very positive formulation. Just read it vice versa.

We should avoid confusing poll options. That'll keep a certain percentage of people from voting. In the past, I offered constructive criticism on your wording. My previous reply was the same and not an open attack on the subject. You shouldn't try to read beyond the actual words I write. I sincerely suggest another option: I have no interest in voting in polls that are too meta. Polls that are about poll makers and/or polls that consist of other polls.

Well, the meaning of "this", literally is "this": "This poll consists of only options I extremely dislike or hate." When that stands as an option in the poll, the poll which it stands in is meant. There is no reading beyond anything. Which title would you suggest for the further option you suggested?

Breu, maybe you can just use a meta movie, like one of these: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls061646679/

Thank you, Tsar and Jessica. I've put the option on the list.

I don't understand your intention. Please explain.

@Breumaster 12,976 total polls taken https://www.imdb.com/user/ur36448190/ If someone likes to watch ____movies and someone else made a Poll of ____movies His name may be listed?? Recent poll activity Lists names of voters?? - - - You need a Title for my suggestion Avoid Voting a Poll?? .

A title and a line for the option. And sure a fitting image (title/poster).

I guess there must by only 10 people who voted in more the 10,000 polls... dan_dassow Paok-Kilkis Dibyayan_Chakravorty are some that I know.

Where can I see that? In the stats?

you have to enter their imdb profile

perhaps bonafideboss could include the poll taken stats in his stats page

Oh, I see. Can't understand how I could miss that. Well, ok. I really took 12.976 polls. Didn't have that on my radar. So I also crossed the 10.000 mark. There should be a badge for it. There still isn't one.

Me? 15,051 total polls taken

Thank you, Peter. Changed all.

#7 : adaptions -- adaptations

Thank you, Jessica. Corrected. Btw.: What do you think about the alternative list?: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls4105674431/

I think the first one is better as it's easier to answer.

Thank you for feedback, I let both lists stay for further considerations. Maybe other ideas will grow of this.

Hi Jessica. I've skipped the part with: "Your feedback can help poll creators better understand the community's preferences and make future polls more engaging and inclusive." So I don't include you all and it's made more like a single nosy poll. ;) We don't need to adapt it to our polls directly. I could also tun around the question and ask which point the users would change. What about that? Thank you for the suggestion. I'll put it in.

Or vice versa: They get curious if that option also is included to finally tell it once by their vote?! Now they got their chance! Let's see if they do, or fail. Maybe there aren't that much people who think like that. We'll se soon. No matter what, I will peek there every day up to next week, because I'm really curious about. How will it tun out? No one knows it by now. Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Buddies! :D It was a real living discussion, which shows me there was interest from beginning. Controversial, but also good. ;)

@Breumaster, Results as of July 31, 2025 1:07 PM Central 6:07 PM UTC / GMT 8:07 PM CEST 31% 21 votes - I often can't relate to the genre or subject. 26% 18 votes - Considering the polls I've already taken, I'm happy with the polls and do like them. I wouldn't like anything about the polls to be changed. 6% 4 votes - Sometimes there are way too many options for me. 6% 4 votes - If a poll is way too far from my mindset, I won't vote. 4% 3 votes - I don't like Face-Offs, so I don't vote in such polls. 4% 3 votes - I don't like the whole rumble around premieres, dresses or gossip. I don't want to decide who had the best looking dress, things like that are gratuitous. 4% 3 votes - I don't have access to some streaming platforms like e.g. Amazon, Apple, Disney, whatever. It might be a matter of money or even the attitude to not subscribe to a specific streaming platform. So I can't vote for some exclusive content. 4% 3 votes - I haven't seen that many movies and TV series. The polls are often complicated for me because they are made for experienced movie and TV series fans. 3% 2 votes - I don't watch TV-series or only watch special series. The TV-series which is presented often doesn't fit to me, even though it might be popular. I skip these polls. 3% 2 votes - I don't care about awards, so I don't vote in award polls with the question "Which of the nominees do you think should win?" 1% 1 vote - If polls get too silly, I don't vote in them. 1% 1 vote - I have no interest in voting in polls that are too meta. Polls that are about poll makers and/or polls that consist of other polls. 0% 0 votes - Polls of deceased people make me sad, I avoid them. 0% 0 votes - I only watch book adaptations, so I can only vote in relevant polls. 0% 0 votes - I don't vote in video game polls. 0% 0 votes - I don't watch movies. I'm more into TV-series, video games, or other things. So movie polls don't get me.
