Hi, I recently joined PA and discovered that my privileges do not include either creating polls or even voting in them. I'm guessing that is because I haven't posted enough or been here long enough. However, I'm curious about why the restriction exists and the details about how members get those privileges. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

Yes, you need to post a bit more. I believe it's simply a trial period so a new member doesn't carpet-bomb the place without a few establishing posts or a 'Hi everyone' greeting. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

Don't quote me, but I think after 25 posts your vetted and can vote. Until then, you can comment on polls and cast your vote that way.
