Discourse has some nifty tools, including some poll tools.
Instructions: https://meta.discourse.org/t/try-out-public-polls/45420
When you post a poll, please remind users:
- Whether the poll is binding or not
- When voting closes
After voting closes, please:
- Post a quick summary of the results (not the raw score, but what it means, the follow-on effects),
- Flag the topic so a Moderator can close the thread (after your summary).
Note for Moderators: Closing the Topic does NOT close the poll. Remember to close both.
