I want to purposely submit previous polls that i have already made...

5 Comments

****You can just skip to the question at the bottom, though I recommend you read the entire post****

Okay, so I have made 26 polls that have made it through this site (excluding this one if it does make it through), and I feel like some of them have just been forgotten. With all the new stories and polls being submitted every day, the early polls that I have made are just left to be uncommented. What's worse is that sometimes people actually do stumble upon my old polls, but they are so old that the people just skip commenting on them (I should know, I made a poll on it).

I know what some of you have been thinking. You're tired of all those over-submitted posts about "is it normal I don't have a bf/gf at age blah", "I hate religion", "What music do you listen to", and all those gender posts (which I have admittedly submitted myself). But I have personally just looked through the search bar and a lot of my polls have not been re-asked by other people.

Some of my polls are hypothetical situations that I just enjoy reading the comments from and other polls are serious questions that I am curious as to how people answer.

I mean, I could just use this poll to show everybody all my old polls, but then this poll will eventually get old and I'll have the same dilema of re-submitting an already submitted poll. And if I state about all my polls still being open through using my profile, that means that I'd have to comment more often to get people to actually notice my username ('cause I doubt many people actually read my profile).

So the question is: Should I purposely re-submit some of my old polls?

Yes, you should. 12
Just tell them on here. 2
State that they are still open for commenting on your profile. 1
Hope that one day, somebody makes the same polls you did. 1
I'm sure you'll get new comments on your old polls... eventually. 1
Tough luck and, no, you should not re-submit them. 5

    I think I have read this before.

    I wouldn't have any problem with you re-submitting. The questions that have been asked on almost a daily basis in all the time I've been here get a bit tiresome, but yours doesn't sound like that.

    It might even be a positive thing to resubmit them; a bit of a break from the oft-repeated stuff.

    Did I ever answer any of them? I have a weird paranoia that people see my answer to a question from years ago and then ask a question about it just to try and catch me out to see if I answer differently (which I probably would because moods and opinions change over time). I don't know why it bothers me. We all have our little things, I guess.

    Anyway, yeah, resubmit them. This one read well, and you come across as reasonable and thoughtful. I'd welcome more like this, even if they're repeats of things I've seen before.

      You sort of left right after I made my second poll, so you've only commented on these three:

      http://isitnormal.com/poll/do-you-really-come-onto-this-site-to-know-if-youre-normal-124121/
      http://isitnormal.com/poll/a-certain-dilema-concerning-iin-gold-135881/

      I don't think I'd ever ask you the same question twice (unless I do re-submit a poll that you've already commented on), so you don't have to worry about that.

    If it truly is original and the comments are worthwhile, I don't see why not. However I have no idea what you think is a good question so I may change my mind.

    Or maybe you could build off of them and slightly change the question.
