has a Mod, or Mods, responsible for the content allowed in their respective forums. None of them have appeared in any forums that I'm moderating. If they had (do), they'd be deleted ... or, at the very least, moved to the Off Topic Forum (where they'd probably eventually be deleted, anyway, since Crap-King don't play dat )
On the other hand .... it isn't "necessary" to reply to ANY post/poll, let alone one that's Political in nature. And, while it would be nice if the members would refrain from Political debates and arguments, it appears as though some just can't seem to keep politics out of their posts/replies.
Technically, no site rules were broken by the posting of these polls. BUT, they do seem to be a bit on the "useless information" side of things. One would have to know the intent of the poll, to know whether or not it's an innocent or malicious one.
I have not received any notification of any of these polls being "reported", so I can only assume that those that were deleted, were done so by the Mods of their respective Forums, once discovered. More "may" disappear, in the coming days, as they are discovered by the Mods of those Forums ... some may not. It all boils down to the tolerance level of the Mods, their interpretation of the intent of the poll (and the replies that follow), and the reaction of the members of those States whose Forums are affected.
