Feedback Polls, Good or Bad?

I don't think polls as feedback are a good idea. You cannot see how other voted until you vote yourself. So that if you want to know of Matt is a good buyer or seller you won't know unless people write a post about thier transaction with him. So the poll is of no use. (just FYI incase you create another feedback thread)

You know.. I hadnt thought about that Pat.. but your 100% correct. Also.. once you have cast a vote with the poll system.. you cant vote again.. so if a future transaction goes bad even after a good first transaction.. you cant register that with the poll.

Ummm, there is a 'view results' button next to submit.

HA, in all my years. I've never noticed that... However, it still prevents you from voting twice and I doubt many people know about the view results button.

Well... you can always make a negative thread if something goes awry

But I like the poll, it at least tells you how many DIFFERENT people one's made transactions with, and of course wonderful comments to voice your opinion. Thanks for messing up Matt's feedback thread >: (

I don't know how all this php stuff works, but on another forum that I post on, they have Feedback sections that work something like eBay, where you can put positive and negative and neutral for people, and it shows up underneath their name. For example:

It's the one marked "D"...

You can click on the number "27" to view all the feedback on this individual. The forum they use is vBulletin Version 3.0.9, dunno if some of those features can be utilized on this forum or not.
