Well, yeah, that's my view as well (although there probably has to be some (very high) limit, for reasons of practicality, and to prevent spammers making a 10000-item poll which breaks the forum). It's not like allowing 50 options in a poll means that people have to use all those options, after all....
Tbh I think limits a-

Honestly, I oppose it just cause when mike asked about it, he was ridiculously rude and sounded like an ingrate.
So 20 (the lowest number that seems to actually be getting support).
Right, so just because I actually expressed my opinion and pointed out that DP's arguments were rubbish, you're going to saddle the entire forum with a lower number of entries in a poll than you truly think is necessary?
Christ, you're pathetic....
EVERYONE TO THE SHELTER!

Pretty much.
The working deserves respect, and everything you go knocking on his door, it's like the request of a spoiled child.
OK, what the fuck are you talking about?
It takes about ten seconds (I would assume) to change it, and it's not like I was particularly "disrespectful" when I originally asked in any case. Just because I don't kow-tow to people just because they have a cyan name instead of a blue one, or start saying "yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir" like you seem to think we should, that doesn't mean I'm being "ungrateful".
And, honestly, I think that your "spoiler child" metaphor says a lot more about you and your tendancy to see authority as absolute and unquestionable than it does about my actions. No-one else is complaining....
Well, don't mind me. I'll just enjoy the irony that the motion might defeat itself due to too many choices causing vote splitting.
Well, yeah, I noticed that, hence why I asked DP how he intended to handle such a situation, and why I've not actually voted yet....
There's a clear consensus for increasing the size, though, so I'm afraid that you're out of luck if you think it's going to stay at 10 just because we can't agree on a specific number (I would hope, anyway...). So, I'm just going to sit back and laugh at the fact that your pathetic attempt to put a personal grudge against me over what you think is best for the forum as a whole is ultimately doomed to failure. 30 is enough for me in any case, because I can't honestly think of any situation where we would really need a poll of more than 30 options that couldn't be handled with an "other" option (even 20 would probably be OK), even if I support a higher number out of general principle (there's no reason not to set it higher, IMO), and given the current voting intentions mentioned by various people I would imagine that it's not likely to be any less than 30 in the end....
Well, it's not like 10 is getting any votes.

Well, that's why I voted 20. Not like I have any sort of personal qualms about it increasing.
25-30 choices are damn fine. Any more and it's going to be really troublesome to follow.
Voted for 30, as it seems to be reasonable enough.
@Mike: I think that Dark Pulse mentioned earlier in the thread that they'll need to write a mod to increase the limit or something like that, so it is not just a couple of seconds. Just saying.

No, he needs a mod to add the ability to retract votes (which is why I'm not pressing him about that, even though it would be very useful). I'm pretty sure that increasing the poll size is merely a matter of changing some number in the board settings.
Well, the issue was you never actually gave him a number to put there. So he just joked around, unwilling to make some arbitrary decision on behalf of everyone.
Which is what this poll's useful for, arguably.
Well, honestly I would just use an arbitrarily large number that no-one is ever going to hit except in a deliberate attempt to break the forum, hence why I never suggested anything. I don't really see any fundamental reason to have a limit at all. The only reason is a practical one (to prevent polls breaking the forum), and IMO that is something that can only be really determined by DP (provided it's larger than anything we're likely to ever hit).Originally Posted by Jase
Also, I just asked if he could and would do it. Actually deciding what to raise it to was another matter entirely. However, he seemed rather reluctant to do it, and the arguments he gave for not doing so seemed rather weak to me, hence why I argued with him on that matter.
Well, yes, fair enough, and I'm not criticising him for starting a poll on the topic. My issue is with you deciding to vote based on a petty grudge rather than on what makes sense.Which is what this poll's useful for, arguably.
I'm pretty sure he was fine with increasing it.
Cruor tried to be helpful, and suggested 20 as a number too, but you shot him down, ultimately.
Then the rest was just me bickering with you, and then Dark Pulse made this thread.
I'm gonna vote for 30.
Fucking called it!

Well, he seemed somewhat reluctant. And, more importantly, he was putting forward arguments for not doing so, which is what I was arguing against. Whether he truly believes those arguments doesn't really matter, he was still making them....
Erm, when did I shoot him down?Cruor tried to be helpful, and suggested 20 as a number too, but you shot him down, ultimately.
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up, yes. So, what's your point?Then the rest was just me bickering with you, and then Dark Pulse made this thread.
