Why can't we create polls? You would expect every forum to have this feature.

Also why is there no delete option in the File Upload Manager?

If everyone could create polls whenever they wanted, we would be spammed with thousands of them. We reserve that feature for when it's really needed, and then it usually sticks out and gets a lot of attention.

But that's like saying "If everyone could create threads whenever they wanted, we would be spammed with thousands of them." If some irrelevant/off-topic/spam poll threads are created, you can always lock or delete them, right?

Dunno if polls somehow put more load on servers, but the forum would definitely become a more useful place with them.

How would it be a more useful place, we create polls if we need feedback on something, and if members think of something that needs a Poll they just PM a Moderator.
If we think it is not a spam poll we post it. So the only Polls you are not seeing now are spam polls, which is a huge plus for the forums.
