**Lord Ashtar** , Ed seems to be the guy in charge of this place. When he made the sweeping Pit changes he noted: > [@Pit rules have been revised](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pit-rules-have-been-revised/487256/108): > > The question was raised: Was I told to do this? No. I _am_ trying to put things on a more businesslike basis. To the extent people think we’re running a biker bar here … well, let’s just say where I can see it would complicate my life. So I’d rather deal with the issue now rather than later. So I have a feeling that he could give the go ahead on something as trivial as this. Since he is in pretty constant communication with TubaDiva, ISTM that this “pipeline” stuff is a bit of a dodge. There must be some other reason not being mentioned for not turning on the polling function. If it just seems too complicated, I suggest that they check out [http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/](http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/) and either search or ask for help. A little looking there myself seems to show that allowing polls is just a matter of changing some options on the User Groups and Permissions menu. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/any-good-reason-polls-arent-enabled/509279)._
