The Poll To End All Polls
ARTHUR:
We're not the biggest fans of polls here at Anaheim Calling. We've had a few, we've even gotten Sleek to vote in a few, but we generally run on an anti-poll platform. As such, my response to SBN's new "Fan Confidence Poll" was fairly predictable; I treated it with the acerbity we've all come to know and love. At the time, I assumed there was nothing I could do about it (beyond my trademark passive aggression), but I recently discovered that not to be the case. I'm actually free to opt out. Humbuwha?! ^__^ *clicks heels* Sweet Sueeeee, yes youuuu!
Here's the rub, though. The poll is not actually for me (though they assure me there are things I can do with it), it's for you. Accordingly, only you can prevent forest fires make this decision. You should know that if we keep the poll, I have no intention of doing anything with the information, both because non-Ducks fans are allowed to vote and because I struggle to see the value of a vague percentage gauge of how we're all feeling. However, you should also know that there are people much smarter and much more industrious than I am who potentially could do something with the information. That's assuming you all intend to use the poll. I think that brings the 'that's what she said' count to fifteen. We should end there. Vote already.

In my weaker moments. :)
I dunno — we don’t have to deal with it at BoC, since we cover way too many teams — but it might be interesting when the season gets going. Maybe they should make it so you have to vote in order to see the results to increase participation?
Whatever — at best it’s a curiosity thing.

you can actually request to have the poll added to your site, I believe.
I think, with bigger sites, the fact that fans of other teams can vote really doesn’t affect the final results much. But obviously, here, if not everyone is gung ho about the thing, a dozen sharks fans voting 10 could paint us as doom and gloom.

85 is more action than I'd expect
in the offseason. I’m going to email the powers that be and opt out

I thought about doing a separate post, but meh
The Ducks street team is at the Orange International Street Fair tomorrow from 5-10. They will be giving away their standard shwag as well as a drawing for a signed stick.
