This is a difficult question for me. Although having more and better poll
questions would be nice, I find that the poll questions are too limiting in
scope (yes/no, multiple choice, etc.).

I would prefer a system that a question get asked which is not limited as much.
A question such as "How would a 3000 rated PC entry chess program affect humans
in how they approach the game?" is not only more interesting to answer, but is
not as limited in scope.

One thing I would like to see is that the results not be posted until after the
poll question is over. Posting the total number of respondents is fine, but
similar to Presidential results being displayed in the US as soon as possible in
the media, displaying the poll answers skews the results here as well.
