A poll should only be required if it's necessary, polls shouldn't be used in every CT thread. Some types of CT require a poll, but if an outcome can be reached via simply discussion then that would be preferred. I agree completely with this. Let a discussion carry on, and use polls to feel the waters when a consensus is not easily reached. I have seen this type of system work well in a number of places. There's still some drawbacks, but I find it preferable to just polling, as polls are ridiculously easy to manipulate.
