&$POLL_HELP POLLER=$POLL HELP: @pemit %#=[center(Poll Help,78,-)]%rPOLL is a handy little way to ask questions and get answers. Use it frequently and copiously.%r[ansi(hy,POLL)] by itself will show what active polls there are on the machine at any given time. Each topic has a code in front of it, in green, which you should note for the next item:%r[ansi(hy,POLL LOOK <ABBREV>)] will let you see a specific poll topic, all the choices associated with it, and how voting's been running so far. Finally...%r[ansi(hy,POLL VOTE <ABBREV>=<ANSWER>)] will register your answer on the poll to be counted.%rThe admins have their own functions to add and remove polls, but not necessarily to see who voted how on which topic. After all, that might interfere with fair and honest polling.%r
&$POLL_HELP2 POLLER=$POLL HELP2: @pemit %#=[center(Staff Help for Poll,78,-)]%r[ansi(hy,POLL LIST)] will list all active polls. Simple.%r[ansi(hy,POLL VIEW <ABBREV>)] will show the poll in detail, and how voting has gone. Again, simple.%r[ansi(hy,POLL DELETE <ABBREV>)] will completely remove the poll from the list. Simple again.%r[ansi(hy,POLL ADD <ABBREV>=<TEXT>|<CHOICES>)] is where things get hairy. <TEXT> is the text of the poll, with %%r (carriage return) separating the question from the answers for formatting niceness. Use %%r between possible answers as you like. The v-bar is a separator which gets embedded in the question again for formatting reasons, and what follows the v-bar is a space-delimited list of possible answers (i.e. a b c d e f etc.) so the players can't get clever and put in multiword answers. The formatting of the results list allows for possible answers of up to three letters, if you really need them.%r
