I proposed this a month and half or so ago and then someone else did a few weeks ago but no consensus was ever reached.

It's not that there was no consensus (as I think basically everyone who expressed an opinion agreed with you on this).  It's that no action ever came of it.  Someone in authority has make a decree saying that we won't add ARG polls, and that information has to be posted somewhere.  Until that happens, we'll just keep having these threads in which everyone chimes in with "yes, we agree, we shouldn't add ARG polls to the Atlas", while the ARG polls still get posted.

Serious question actually. I think it's now quite clear that when ARG is even close to being right it's a fluke. Wasn't there a policy of not adding Zoggy's online polls four years ago or is my memory playing tricks?

Create a poll. Wink
No, commission ARG to do one.

Here are the results of ARG's poll on whether we should add ARG polls to the site:

48% said keep adding ARG polls to the Atlas
29% said stop adding ARG polls to the Atlas
4% said someone else
8% were undecided
11% were unaccounted for, but had to be included to make it add up to 100%

Based on ARG's track record, "stop adding ARG polls to the Atlas" will win.
