One last question. Polls this time.

That last thread left me with one more question. Depending on the moderator's definition of "marginalizing", the GTPartisans may very well have to choose soon between continuing exclusively on site and moving completely off site.

That's a decision that affects everyone, and requires due input. So, simple question, I probably should know the answer, but then I never really had a reason to care before.

Is it possible to create a poll thread in a social group?
 
I don't see how this question directly relates to the GTPartisans. It seems to me that you're just asking this question to "unlock" the other thread with a different one. You could have either just PM'd the question to a mod or simply asked a question without all the GTPartisan spiel.
 
No, I'm not. Edit in a second.

OK. The reason I need to create a poll in the group is because I might very well be setting up this offsite forum soon. There is the possibilty that a mod will say it "marginalizes" non-registrants, though I wouldn't intentionally do such a thing. In that event, we will have to choose one or the other: forum or group. My money's on forum, since Jordan apparently plans to get rid of social groups at some point in the future, but I need to know what the Partisans would choose if the choice were forced upon us.

A. Disband the social group and migrate to the forum
B. Abandon the forum and keep the group

Like I said, this decision affects every member of the group, and I wouldn't want to end the whole project with an unpopular decision.

So, elaborate backstory out of the way, the question remains: is it possible to create a poll thread in a social group? I'm thinking not, unfortunately...

Just had a quick look in my group and I don't think so. What about creating an off-site poll (Google "Poll Maker" or something like that) and just add the link in your group?
 
It's not that hard. There's one pretty good poll generator that I used a few years ago for a school project. If I find it I'll add a link 👍
Micropoll is one of the sites I used IIRC. You've gotta sign up but it's free.

If it's what I think it is, I've probably used it before.

Now, the only problem is making sure all the members and only the members vote.
 
This really is like life and death for you isn't it? I've never really understood getting upset and trying to fight and stop other people's lifestyle choices. Maybe I'm just odd though.
 
Didn't Jordan tell you that if you had any more questions, to address him via PM, and then locked your previous thread? This seems like nothing more than an attempt at sponging up more attention.
 
You are right. I think this could've been answered quicker if you VMed or PMed Jordan. 👍 :)

If that's what concerns you, why not simply ask all members to send you a pm with their decision? Or would counting up all 24 votes be too much of a massive undertaking for you?
 
I figured it would be easier this way. But now I'll have to do PM voting, since bronies somehow got hold of the never-posted-outside-the-group poll. I'd just love to find out how that happened.
