Forum:Important Poll

Okay. FROM NOW ON, YOU MUST GIVE A REASON IF YOU VOTE. . And a good one, too. Not just "I like it".

How are the "improved" profiles? Okay. Need changes. Terrible. Get rid of it. NOW!

 UPDATE  - From now on, you must provide a reason for voting yes. Put it in the bulleted list below.


 * I don't like it. My sister says so, too. She voted. ROADS! Roads! (Don't forget it!) 18:55, August 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Shouldn't this be moved to the "General Discussion" Forum rather than the "Support Request" forum. CitadelUniversal talk  18:49, August 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, this is hardly a place for such a poll. Also, I find it funny how you HAVE to provide a reason for voting "yes", but don't have to do anything when you vote "no". It almost feel like a penalty. — Sovq 18:51, August 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm trying to change it, but you keep giving me edit conflicts! ROADS! Roads! (Don't forget it!) 18:52, August 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I have also reset the poll because of the update. ROADS! Roads! (Don't forget it!) 18:54, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * It looks terrible, too large, too much un-needed space, and you can't eliminate the white space without providing personal info. 19:00, August 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's so...ok, I felt obligated to fil it out with personal information, becuse if you don't, it leaves this gigantic box at the top of ur userpage. Luckily, I found a way around it, but it seriously needs to go, or it should at least be optional. I  forgot   to  sign.  19:05, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's terrible that I wasted time looking at something that is insignificant and that now I have to waste time filling silly polls and whatever more while doing my regular things.

 * 1) I don't like the fact that it is HUGE. I do like the fact that I don't have to fill out a million different profiles if I edit cross-wiki. The languages I can edit in may be relevant, however, I really don't think anyone on here needs to know most of the requested information in the current global profile, especially birthday or occupation (unless I get hired by Wikia). Another negative is the fact that it is HUGE, and does not collapse sufficiently small even if information is omitted. Did I mention it's way too HUGE? --Vandraedha 02:13, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Flaws in Roads' Opinion
 * Too big: feels like I zoomed in on my browser
 * Encourages users to give out personal info that nobody should give out online
 * Most info is irrelevant to the vast majority of people:
 * Facebook: Not everyone has a Facebook account, and if that person does, who cares, really?
 * Twitter: See above, but replace "Facebook" with "Twitter".
 * Website: I don't even know how to make a website!
 * Wastes space

Just making it collapsible would improve it. ROADS! Roads! (Don't forget it!) 17:40, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

End Flaws of Roads' Opinion I added the staff needed template so they'll see how the majority of users doesn't like it at least in its current state. ROADS! Roads! (Don't forget it!) 17:42, August 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't like the way it uses waaaayy too much space. Also, information provided is just one more way to give out personal information. (hackers bait) The way I see it, Wikia's trying to become a(nother) social network. Which I despise. Hunter789 22:06, August 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's annoying and quite frankly this was very useless for Wikia.  4th Hale  (Talk)  00:15, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
