I SEE IT!
I think there are limits on the poll. Haven't done one recently, but you can limit it as the original poster. Limits being how long you want it to go, and how many questions/options to choose, and how many times you want a poster to vote.
As for MI's poll, I took it as him "getting sick and tired" of the name throwing. At that moment, he was sick.
Also, as a mod, I can see who voted and how many times they voted and where they voted.
