How about an instant kill option with polls? People can send your karma to zero if they don't like it. That should solve the problem, of polls existing that is.



Or even better, an instant ban! And then it could instantly post the poll "Is X a douchebag?" with only one option. Once poll closes it would email the results to the author, and vote couple thousand times itself, if there aren't, or are, enough votes.

After that a bot could send the results to all the news aggregators and vote it to the top on all of them, besides seeding the storm and nugache emails.

Finally, it would send the author's IP to Anonymous.

That should effectively dissuade someone from posting lame polls. If not, anyone elso got any ideas?


How about we get higher quality users so there is more incentive not to look stupid here.
