It's actually due to vBulletin, and not necessarily a shortcoming. If you could change a poll question or answers, you could completely change the meaning of said poll.

Yeah, if you make a mistake (or simply want to improve the wording), you can't change it, nor delete the thread. Great feature!

I have 4 'friends' that are currently unemployed. 2 of them just didn't like their jobs and decided couch surfing was a better choice than working. One was 'laid off', but I'm guessing he's lying about it, since his company is currently hiring for 2 people to take his position. Not one of them are looking for a new job because they're all stoner slackers who couldn't pass a drug test even if they were sober for a month. Too many people are enabling them by letting them stay on their couches.. I mean, they're in their mid twenties!

You can report the post where you started the poll and ask the mod to change it. I did that once.
