 There are reasonable measures that can be taken to make it less scammy especially when results have real consequences (winners get rewards or something) . We've discussed this on the spec itself. 

I do think this is the right spec to build on and we can actually plug the holes that we already know about as usage grows. 

I really like chachi.chat 's implementation. I'm not sure if they've modified the relay for this implementation as recommended on the nip but they seem like the right app to incorporate that and have high stakes polls within communities 😛 
 Chachi has the advantage of polls being confined to a certain group where only the members can vote. Didn't need to modify the relays, NIP-29 relays already enforce not accepting events in the past or the future. Deletes are still supported by the relay but I don't think is a big deal. Chachi UI doesn't let you delete a vote after casting it.

+1, don't get all the bike shedding and resistance to implement these poll types, it's something that many users demand.
