Alright, as one of the only people so far to have started polls, what does "abuse" really mean? I mean, are we supposed to restrain ourselves or are we talking uninhibited free expression here? What is actually the etiquette of ILX? Should we feel greedy or guilty for posting too much? Is posting plenty fine, but starting too many threads wrong?

The FAQ said more than one thread a day is frowned on, and that still holds. Polls are a special case, because they scream out of new answers in the current style. They're useful for the sort of group-decisions ILX delights in, and there will be one to talk about feature changes on this code.

In short: restraint, mostly (on ILE/ILM at least).

where is this faq?

Past tense. The FAQ on the old code, which has still to be transplanted to this.

I don't understand the point of polls if you can't see results, a thing I have so far been unable to do.

I don't understand the point of murder mysteries if you can't know who did it, a thing I have so far been unable to do.

Polls would have SCIENTIFICALLY SORTED the Another Thing Coming vs Another Think Coming debate, and as such they should be applauded.

Well, apparently there are DOZENS of intelligent posters who have abandoned ILX for LJ, so we need to compete.
