Why?

[RogsR34UK]

This modded thread thing is getting ridiculous. I was trying to get an idea of the number of people who had to buy a new PS2 in order to play GT4. I submitted a poll asking that and inevitably it was not posted. I know there is a thread asking if anyone had problems which I suppose I could have waded through but not everyone may have bothered to post. A simple poll might have got a reasonable answer. I put one on another site and 20% of the people had to buy a new PS2. I thought as this place had more active members the results might have been more meaningful.

With the amount of thread repetition (considering it has to be modded) I thought at least a poll might have been allowed in. Is it just that you don't like polls or what?

1) I don't think we can even tell if a thread in the queue has a poll or not (not that any of us would care).

2) It's very easy for us to accidentally delete an acceptable thread – we're human too. The other day I had to wade through over 30 threads… by the time I got to the bottom, my eyes were hurting, and when you go through that much nonsense at once (you wouldn't believe some of the stuff people want to post about), it's very easy to accidentally hit the wrong radio button. I'd recommend you just re-submit your thread, since it does sound like a good one (I'm off to bed right now though—again, I'm human —so I can't gaurantee it'll be validated tonight).

Just have patience, please… there are a small number of us trying to scan tons of threads each day (voluntarily), so it's not going to go quite as smooth as if it were our full-time jobs. It's the only way to do it though, because before we had thread moderating in the GT4 forum, most of us were spending every second of our time at GTP locking the plethora of absurd threads that sprouted in there; this system makes things manageable.
