I think Andy could also be potentially talking about being able to see the results of the vote without having to vote yourself which I agree with fully. I don't like being forced to have to vote an option when I want the league to decide the best course of action...
It was a bit of both to be honest. I don't want to have to vote to see the results and I also don't want to include votes in the results from teams in lower tiers when the poll doesn't really concern them at that point in time. The fact you cant send an in game message to multiple people or have a continuing group message means a poll is the only way to get it done.
Hosts could hound people who vote against them but again that would be in the absolute minority of people don't you think? Hate the fact we now live in a society were every idea or line of enquiry has to be tested against the "ah but a small amount of people might abuse that rule" so we have to pander to those first who cannot behave like a normal human being!
