Allow threads to create polls for the readers to be able to answer questions with the click of a button. For all these what should I roll threads. They put up the couple choices and the trolls and serious people to answer.
It could be a great idea for the site, and I'm sorry if this has been brought up.

Back when we implemented this there were talks about making this a premium-only feature.. If we were to do it, what would be your feedback?

How about making it a on-request use only, so it doesn't get abused?
Send a request to a mod to use it, if they deem it necessary for the thread they grant it, if not they decline it.
As for the Premium only, it would give more of an incentive to buy Premium, but some people might see it as an excuse to get more people to give you money through Premium subscriptions
I'd say ignore those people though, it'd be a good addition to the site if it's carefully controlled.

i always like more options but, as a premium subscriber who posts quite a lot, i don't think i'd ever actually use it.

Heh, to be fair, Premium is paid to ZAM, and Wowhead and the sisters sites just have it linked to them. As for the idea of it being Premium only, I don't know, I sorta prefer Treskol idea; have people be required to get permission first, and the Mods okay, before they would be able to put them up.

As a Premium member already my opinion is kinda bias. But lets look at the additional character counts the premium members already have.
Increased character limits for comments and forum posts
This was the original reason for me becoming a Premium member. I was posting guides on the forums, and I wanted more characters to use. I'm sure a "polling" feature would get more people to subscribe as well.
I would defiantly use it in my posts. I think it should be a "first post" only option tho. Don't let people reply to posts with polls, that will lead to trolling responses and chain polling in post. Juts have it be an option for the initial thread.
Cheers,
Hat

Very valid feedback.
I'd like to hear more users' opinions on it... I'd even like to... poll... them, if you catch my drift? (I'm so punny.)

Puns are the work of the devil.
