Feature Requests - how to best handle the voting system?

So unless something is built into the system I can’t see recommending it.

Ah! I use textblaze and so perceive it as a simple thing to have an entry for a standard feature poll. I forget not everyone has access to that sort of thing!

I can see it working by keeping the “feature request” category, and just applying the poll either to the first post, or in the first “reply” that a moderator would make when approving new feature requests.

After thinking about this some more, maybe there could just be a topic on this forum called “Announcements of New Polls” where the creator of a poll could announce it with a link to the topic it’s in. Then anyone who wants to be informed about new polls can just track the “Announcements of New Polls” topic and not miss any.
