How about creating the request polls with 3 options:
Yes - I like this request.
No - I dislike it.
Neutral - I don't care either way.
There are many feature requests that I don't personally want/need, but I don't see anything wrong with adding or changing them either.
I such a case I haven't voted, but something explicit might be useful so you can know what stuff is "nice to have" but not too many people really care.
Shall I make a poll about this? |

I must say most people might end up voting for the "don't care" option, leaving the decision for a very small group of voters.
Maybe just the Yes/No might help deciding about stuff. I myself have voted Yes on a few options I didn't really feel the need, but thought were good ideas and could be useful for most people. However, on the ones I'd really like to have for myself, I made a small post on it to emphasize. For the ones I didn't really care, I just didn't vote.

I feel silly voting on the method of voting, but this is an interesting discussion.
"Dislike" is a fairly negative term - it may be skewing or discouraging votes. Perhaps "Yes - I would use this feature" and "No - I would not use this feature" are better options. That's really what we're talking about: usefulness. In general, I won't ever discourage the proliferation of options, and I don't think IceMan or Hostile would ever implement a bad idea. The voting process should just be a discovery of how many users will benefit from the request at hand. |
