3scapes Polling System
General
The polling system provides you an opportunity to post polls or vote on the polls of others. Polls may be registered in the Poll Room in Foundation for a fee. This fee may change so be sure to check the sign in the Poll Room before registering. The following poll types are available for use: Bootpolls: --------- These run for most of an entire boot and only one may be run each boot. If a bootpoll is running a second may be queued to run after the next reboot. Bootpolls close 45 minutes before reboot, so keep this in mind if you want your poll to run for a while and it is getting near reboot time. A poll posted after this closing time will be queued to run 15 minutes after reboot, so long as there is not already a bootpoll waiting to be run. Quickpolls: ---------- These run for 5 minutes, and the system supports the queuing of one quickpoll while another is running. The last quickpoll may be run 11 minutes before reboot, after which registration will result in the poll being run approximately 15 minutes after reboot. During the time when a poll is running, a chat line is open on which to discuss it. See 'help poll' for more information on the line. See 'help pvote' for information on voting on the running polls and checking recent polls results. PLEASE NOTE: You are responsible for the following rules as well as for those outlined in 'help poll' for the chat line. Normal rules from 'help rules' do, of course, apply. RULES FOR POSTING POLLS: 1) Consider polls to have the same language usage rules as the shout line. 2) You my NOT use the polling system to harass or denigrate another player. It is generally advisable to leave references to players and wizards out of the polls. 3) The polling system is not a venue for lodging complaints. This includes whining about things such as guild balance. There are better venues for such complaints, and polls should be kept to fun or interesting topics. Failure to heed these rules will result in being temporarily or permanently banned from registering new polls and/or using the chat line.
