Most polls aren't 'important' enough to warrant the worry imo, and their unimportance means it's not likely to be scammed. 

But having fun and facilitating engagement on a social media platform isn't meaningless. It could potentially contribute to keeping people here. (Imagine @primal sidebar has Popular / Latest polls' for eg. cc nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7erfw36x7tnsw43z7un9d3shjqpq6c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9qqh8vzc a massive improvement already on the current options and a tool for engagement / discussion. )

You could say the same thing about zap polls, you could just have zaps with an Yes emoji message and zaps with a No emoji message instead. Do away with polls altogether. 

 The issue is that people think they can get some info out of a poll when they can't without post processing the to remove all the crap. 

I was with you that polls didn't need to be super serious, but in practice people get really dissatisfied when their poll becomes irrelevant. So much that they stop creating polls altogether. 

Idk..  

 I've done plenty of polls on pollerama and never had a problem, or felt the need to filter them, I've never seen anyone complain about pollerama polls either actually. So it's not all people.

But I do appreciate your logic. 

I'd like to think both zap/normal polls can be accommodated and it is another tool for interesting post/discussion discovery, which it isn't, in its current mostly unused state
