i have no problems with surveys to find out how many people have read the syntagma, or howmany civitates are active within periods, though this information can still be misleading,
but i do not want to see any more opinion polling in the curia, and the current three posted closed.
these are a pointless useless waste of civitates time, they divide discussion, and in many cases just give people opportunities to bump posted counts with "voted X"
the statisitcs devolved from these polls are dubious in themselves, especially as many civitates will vote without knowing the discussion behind the poll, and i do not want to see these sort of stats being a driving force behind any legislation on this site.
if people have an opinion on an issue, they come and post it. thats what the prothalamus is for. we shouldn't be going out asking for people to give an opinion, because thats forcing them to do something they don;t want to do.
every civitate has the option of debating in the curia, a vote does not show the debate. and a bill should not be passed on statisitics but on debate
