Does the SDMB want polling without commentary?

Precedent has been set. Czarcasm has decreed, and apparently the mod loop agrees, that the OP controls his thread in IMHO.

There’s been no such decree. That hasn’t been the rule in the past, and it won’t be in the future, either. The OP has some input in the direction of the thread and we frequently moderate to keep threads on topic as the situation dictates.

Is this about it? In effect, entirely situational, and up to individual mods?

And Tuba’s remark about “polls and not posts” should be taken as… not indicative of any thinking in the mod loop?
