Anyway this is a completely biased poll, so any arguments used relating to this poll are completely invalid. Users are persuaded by the poll creater to vote a certain way thus making the poll invalid. I suggest that if you want a server 4 start off by making a non-biased poll.

This is absolutely correct. Whilst there is nothing wrong with a petition style poll, Plankton, you seem to be confusing a petition with a referendum, this poll is by no means a referendum of the people of this community.

Imagine the EU referendum ballot paper, reads as follows:

LEAVE EU NO SNGLE MKT 50% LESS LAW
There should be no EU membership
There shouldn't

Let's leave aside the fact that stating this question to the public would be illegal under laws governing referendums in the UK. It's not clear what people are voting on at all.

There's nothing wrong with having a petition. And when you state you want people's support on something and give your reasons why that's called a petition and not a referendum.

There's a petition with millions of votes of people who want to overturn the result of the EU referendum with a second referendum, a petition created infact by someone who wanted to leave that doesn't now mean everyone wants to overturn the result.

Let's be clear on the difference between a petition and a referendum.

Why not make a new, official poll while you're at it? I was always told that ZARP acts on behalf of the users; if a majority of the users wants something done, it should be done. Or so I was always told.
