No more polls at all. If there is a way to limit them to the screenshot contest alone Please do.

Hmmmmm......I know I have just participated in a few, but they are a bit numerous at the moment, and they stifle any genuine discussion Roll Eyes

Like everything else, if everyone ignored them people wouldn't bother posting them. Simple as that. I'm as guilty as anyone of responding to these stupid polls but surely a simple question would be much better. Then people could give their honest opinions & turn it into a proper debate. I can't think of many instances where a poll is of any use whatsoever. Roll Eyes

The ones I have a problem with are the "which of these do you like" and the "whats your favorite whatever". occasionally those are OK, but someone bombarded real aviation the other day with those. I responded to a couple of them before it got out of hand. But now polls are almost all that is there. Roll Eyes

So, I guess a "What's your favourite colour on an airplane?" poll would not be appreciated?

What a coincidence -- I did a repaint for an Albatross in metallic blue and one for a Jasta 7 Dr-1 in Black. Of course, they're for CFS1 missions but... 8)

Lead base? Works for a bomb shelter matey

I don't see what's wrong with polls in Real Av so long as they aren't trivial stuff that is repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over again

I like black grey and grey on nightfighters

Yes I would appreciate a 'which is your favourite colour on a plane?' poll Cheesy
