Yes, the majority who also most likely does not meet the requirement for mainspace edits, and can easily be manipulated through changes in IP or proxies (since I assumume proxies will not prevent poll votes)

There's a reason why we accept votes from users with 25+ mainspace edits. It is a way to reduce the amount of blind supporters. These are people who blindly support a vote without even reading the post. Given a yes/no option with no context, people tend to vote yes more than no. A poll not only abolishes this prerequisite, but it also is far too easily exploited. Sockpuppets throw out any semblance of fairness in a poll. I have not seen a single successful wiki where important policy changes were decided on polls.

You can call me or the vote unfair, but it doesn't make a single difference in my book. I've already made my efforts to try and reconcile with you. If you don't like it, tough. I'm not going to answer to the beck and call of one user just because he doesn't like the result. If you dislike polls, why not let me make a thread with choice one as 2-3 weeks, choice 2 as 1 month, choice 3 as 2 months, and choice four as 3 months? That would avoid sockpuppets, right?
