So today I logged in for my daily wfigs session. I started looking for the daily poll that Vampiro was working on for best figure in each elite series. I passed a couple of locked polls then realized that the mod had locked the poll for "cluttering the boards". Come on man. I know I'll probably get this post locked and possibly banned or something, but was it really cluttering the boards more than people saying "when will we get stardust" or "check out the figures I got today that everyone else has seen and already has as well"? I for one really enjoyed this series of polls. One, because I'm newer to collecting and like seeing these older series without looking at the checklist then googling to see what the figure looked like and two, because it gives us something to do everyday other than hoping someone leaked a proto of an upcoming figure. I know we all enjoy talking about our amazing mattel figures with eachother, obviously since we are all members of this forum, but was it really that necessary to end the series of polls that as many as 90 some people were participating in almost daily? Most of us are grown men so I don't know why we can't settle this in a grown up way. Why can't a poll be used to decide how many people really consider this clutter? Just thought I would go on a rant since I got off early today. |

I enjoyed the polls and it was something to talk about other than raising post counts posting "nice pickups man, those figs are great" in any other thread. Seriously, all the Matty fig board consists of are people asking the value of a figure, 10-20 people posting that they all got the same figs delivered today, and people asking when will this new wrestler get a figure?

Thanks buddy, have no control over it though, unless mod lets me again? Until then, the party has stopped.

I kind of agree they weren't hurting anything and it was interesting to see peoples opinions on the best figures from each series

I liked the elite polls, That is why we log into the Wrestlingfigs forum to You know Talk about and discuss WRESTLING FIGURES.

I hope the mod can see the support here and allow it to continue. Otherwise we are stuck in a never-ending loop of people posting their ASR pictures for the next 2 weeks. |

I saw nothing wrong with those polls, I thought it gave other things to talk about than pickups and NXT figures

Voting was such a fun thing, expressing our views on the best of Mattel figs over the years. WHY shutting it down? It had hurt no one, no one got insulted it was just us wfigs community voting for the best figs. Since when is voting on this board a crime? I DO NOT get this at all.

I liked the polls, they were really cool and took a neat look back at how far the line has come. I think they brought more to the boards than, "when will elite 30 come out?"

I liked hearing everyone's thoughts in each series!
And voting was fun too.

No problem but it was taking up space. Maybe if we voted on multiple series at once like 2 series at one time then we could have it. I felt it was needed as how could would it be to have wfigs official best elite ever.

I know a few can overreact about those threads but it's not a big deal at all. I didn't collect at the time so discussing the old series is interesting.

Pretty much spam that would in the end accomplish nothing.
I didn't have a problem with it though.

I don't like the fact that the staff clearly said they weren't interested in the idea the first time and locked it up, then a week later it was being tried again. That's straight disrespect.
