Two months ago, I made a post about Pollaversary. The post was made out of fun and in a celebration mode but it gathered some very good ideas regarding 'how we can popularise this segment on SN'.
One of the problems is how they (Polls) get buried under new content and no one ends up seeing the result
β @Undisciplined
We can't blame anyone for this but to seeing the poll results, there's no other way than to look for the poll results by yourself. I want to suggest here two things, may be nothing suggestions, but here they are β
- A notification to all who participated in the poll
- Stackers can now do it all by themselves by using @remindme
For now, It's time for the Monthly Top Polls Result series and to remind you all how your vote fared. FYI, there are a total of 102 polls in the month of September.
So, Drumroll Please!!
Top 5 SN Poll Results for September 2024 are....!

What's you relationship with caffeine like? by @DesertDave
Result and ImplicationsResult and Implications
This is absolute fun. A coffee in the morning is more loved than the workouts or a little stretching or a walk in the park or just passing shitload out of the body. What a world we live in! We preach all the good things for morning but we do away with a mug of coffee. I think this addiction to coffee or tea now defines who humans are!!

Sunday Survey: Do Audiobooks count as reading? π by @Car
Result and ImplicationsResult and Implications
What a good ask by @Car! This poll must have compelled everyone to ponder for a bit. It's not a straight question. It involves play of words to the use of modern technology for cognitive aspect. The result says it all. While technically, 'Audiobooks aren't books' have won but when we ponder a bit more, we can't stop getting confused. Some questions play with the psyche and this one's one of them.

Do you wash bananas before eating? by @suraz
Result and ImplicationsResult and Implications
Almost everyone's glance to this question would be β "Who washes them before eating?" Lol, if you wash them, don't you do it before peeling them off, not before eating. You may wash, then peel and only then you eat. Don't you?

If you had an option, where would you love to spend rest of your life? by @IamSINGLEThis I'd say is the most balanced poll for options. It's got something for everyone. The results also suggest the same. There are a lot of options which highly rely on personal likings. Overall, it's always good to ask somthing travel related.

*The most divided poll. No majority votes. It seems like a hung poll. What else can I say in praise of me. For this one I leave it on you to provide some of the implications, what you take away from it.
So, these are the top 5 results, I hope you can now plan, base and move forward in your life accordingly. I don't know if I said that right! So, I leave it to you. These are very small numbers for a poll or survey but I hope with increased popularity, we can see many stackers turn towards the polls.
At last a big thanks to all the creative stackers for sone amazing polls throughout September. I know, you'll being your best for October as well. Best of Luck!!
Thank you so much for reading! Please tell me what you like and what you don't like about this post so that I can make it better next time.
With that being said, I bid you adieu for now and leave you with 5 other awesome polls in September.

What's your criteria? How do you pick them? By search results?
zaprank
I don't do it by zaprank. Instead I do them by vote counts.
For a poll, the more votes, the more popular. Easy.
what a hassle! wouldn't it be better to call it 'most popular' instead of top?
Zaprank for polls don't work. If a poll is zapped by a few high value stackers but it gets hardly 5 or 6 votes, still you'll see it as a top rank poll. Polls are meant for votes so the more the votes, the topper the poll is.
I agree with everything except the term 'top', which in the context of stacker news is related to zaprank. You decide!
Polls polls polls.
There have been qite a few lately.
How many?
Too many to count, but we did have a few music ones lately.
I don't get it. Or may be you just didn't or you just don't read the posts properly before making a comment.
Don't get frustrated over this but you've read Polls for pools.
The ~music ones are pools and here we're talking about polls.
Please take a minute to read the post before making a comment.
I thought the music ones were polls?
Asking which songs were the best?
Surely, you didn't read this post.
I see you as a good stacker. You're very active as I'm.
I suggest you to comment only after reading the post otherwise it's not worthy replying everytime. Stackers mostly love the comments that can add value to their post, not just words.
Take my words in good faith, I'm not here to tell you these things. But I see you comment a lot like this.
Won't you tell me please how many? You said quite a few. Are you counting?
I said qite.
I do know it is you who makes a lot of polls.
This is good I do often partake in a poll but never circle back!
Keep it up
Thanks! I'll keep it up.
