A subforum where every thread is closed?

It could save time for those of us who ignore most such entries.

Not sure it would save any time, but the forum would definitely be less cluttered with threads about crap climates.

And they locked/deleted my poll thread (Rate Melbourne). Very typical.

I think these mods are American-centric. They surely like to keep polls regarding American cities for some reason.

They removed my poll on Auckland vs Istanbul twice now. But their excuse was "poll capacity". Yet at the same time people were making redundantly useless polls and no mod batted an eye on them.

Yes, make a poll subforum where we can post as many polls as we want, without this restriction, which even seems rather biased at times!

The current rule is no more than 2 polls per user per month. I don't catch all of them, so sometimes a few go over. I can't create a new subforum, and the purpose of the weather forum is meant to be discussion on weather (current weather, what causes weather patterns, etc.) not endless discussion on whether climate A is better than B.

I get complaints from both sides: those who want polls, and those who want all of them to go away.
