No, the poll is a vote on a proposed solution, really, not on whether they share the concerns of the OP. They are just voting that the solution is bad. (And perhaps they also became confused and disoriented upon seeing the word "clised" in the poll question.)
I guess I'm redefining the "thread topic", as taken literally, but you know what I mean... I'd then generalize that a bit (in ways I should perhaps specify later...).
I mean, there are several different issues, esp. GD vs. VPT.
e.g. in the last GD thread on this sort of thing:
1] "Meanwhile there are 164 guests who are just cruising these pages.
I say to you join up!"
2] "if you got nothing to say, then say nothing at all
but if you do?
then sign up....damn it!"
3] "I thought a lot of the guests where bots or search engine crawlers."
4] "Cruising Trolls from other clubs, some of em ??"

^ True. That was also mentioned in the GD thread quoted from above. Some of the questions are: What percentage of those guests are members not logged in? If they had to log in, would they? If they had to log in to read, would they post more? Are the other guests people we want, or people we don't want, or not people at all?

Guess the answer would be "who cares??"K wrote:^ True. That was also mentioned in the GD thread quoted from above.

There are so many issues, I don't know where to begin... with randomly chosen points in small portions, I guess.
As a GD example, it's always been the case that oppo supporters have not been welcome, and presumably that feeling extends to visiting and not just commenting. There was a Saints fan around 2010 who participated and was treated cordially, but that's about it...
