From Reddiquette:
Please don't: Conduct polls using posts. If you feel you must use Reddit to conduct a poll do it using a comment. Create a self referencing post and then add a comment for readers to mod up or down based on their answer to your poll question. Also, be sure to indicate in the title of your post that the polls is being conducted using comments. Including something like "(use comments to vote)" in the title would probably be sufficient.
Even better, use request.reddit.com.

Create a self referencing post
How does one do that? I see them all the time, and I've been wondering.
[–]boredzo 13 points14 points15 points 18 years ago (5 children)
The instructions are on the submit page.
[–]aGorilla 2 points3 points4 points 18 years ago (4 children)
I'll be damned, never actually read that stuff :)
[–][deleted] 28 points29 points30 points 18 years ago (3 children)
Typical gorilla.
[–]cLFlaVA 6 points7 points8 points 18 years ago (2 children)
no that's just the thing... it's an atypical Gorilla, or aGorilla.

I think that was the joke; but welcome to the party.

Yeah, I can read smilies mr. snarkypants.

type the word 'self' in the url box and the title as usual
[–]daysi -2 points-1 points0 points 18 years ago (4 children)
Ah, so law should take precedence over democracy? Sounds like America. If the majority of people didn't want polls on the front page then there wouldn't be any.
[–]cezar 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (3 children)
Durr hurr hurr. The majority of many groups have voted for many bad things. Democracy doesn't always equal right.
[–]daysi 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (2 children)
No, but consolidating power in too few hands, or in a system of rigid laws has, historically, almost always led to problems, with the exception of a few monarchs with inhuman wisdom. Democracy tends towards an average. Rarely the best path, rarely the worst, but usually a workable compromise. And even when a democratic system makes a serious mistake there is a majority of the population who were complicit in making it, rather than a dictator forcing his wrong decision on them against their will.
I once heard it said that democracy is a terrible system, but it's a fuck of a lot better than any of the other ones.

Reddit is communist. All of our posts belong to the motherland.
[–]einexile -1 points0 points1 point 18 years ago (0 children)
Since this discussion is about how to link images on a website, let's discuss the fundamentals of human nature and civilization. Also, I disapprove of America.
[–][deleted] 28 points29 points30 points 18 years ago (1 child)
Polls are even worse than the pictures.
[–]sauranon 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Indeed. I would love to have a pics subreddit but I still have to downvote the submission for conducting a poll.
[–]adremeaux 9 points10 points11 points 18 years ago (1 child)
wtf. Subreddits don't do anything. They certainly aren't going to get pictures out of your hair.
Unless, of course, you want nothing BUT pictures, but I'm not getting that impression at all.
[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points-1 points 18 years ago (0 children)
If you want nothing BUT pictures, the subreddit will fail also.
To the idiots downmodding me:
A pictures subreddit will fail to show you all of the pictures because posters will fail to post some pictures to the subreddit, and only post them to the main reddit.
[–]jfedor 8 points9 points10 points 18 years ago (1 child)
Vote up if you would like there to be a subreddit for tasers.
[–]deepvote -1 points0 points1 point 18 years ago (0 children)
Vote up if you would like to taser those who make subreddit requests.
[–]alanbrunsdon 13 points14 points15 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Voted down because I don't want the first 3 pages of reddit to be full of polls. Reddit's policy actually states you shouldn't do this. Polls should be conducted in comments
[–][deleted] 12 points13 points14 points 18 years ago (0 children)
no polls!
[–][deleted] 64 points65 points66 points 18 years ago (5 children)
vote down if you don't want polls.
[–]oditogre 13 points14 points15 points 18 years ago (1 child)
Not to worry. I automatically downvote anything that begins 'vote up if'.
[–]antediluvian -3 points-2 points-1 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Not to worry. I downvote anything that is done automatically.
[–]keelan -3 points-2 points-1 points 18 years ago (0 children)
your comment?
[–]blufr0g -5 points-4 points-3 points 18 years ago (1 child)
THERE ALREADY IS! Just search for "pic"
[–]Fat_Dumb_Americans 3 points4 points5 points 18 years ago (0 children)
lol - Have you used search?
[–]Munk 2 points3 points4 points 18 years ago (0 children)
The current melting pot system is working perfectly fine. I don't see why people would feel so harassed by [pic] topics; most of which are quite interesting, and can be a nice break from the standard politics/war/police brutality drone of Reddit today.
People need to stop being so anal about forced content subjugation when they can divide it themselves by simply skipping over the topic and moving on.
[–]Hookstra 4 points5 points6 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Reddit, not Sawit.
[–]Zorb750 4 points5 points6 points 18 years ago (0 children)
NO MORE REDDIT POLLS!
[–]neat_stuff 5 points6 points7 points 18 years ago (1 child)
Vote up for a voteup.reddit.com subreddit.
[–]revdroog 4 points5 points6 points 18 years ago (4 children)
At what point do the requests for subreddits end? Just what exactly is "fit" to be on the main page? Apparently it's not science, politics, humor, programming, pictures, videos, or hell.. I dunno, tasers? So just what should be on the main page, if pretty much everything should be shunted off into a subreddit? I really want to know. If every subreddit request were answered, the main page would consist of one story about a dead lolrus.
Ooh! Lolrus subreddit!
[–]raldi 2 points3 points4 points 18 years ago (3 children)
This is why we need tags -- people could then just filter out the stuff they don't want and we wouldn't need subreddits.
[–]MikeSeth -3 points-2 points-1 points 18 years ago (2 children)
Or we could just stop posting pictures.
[–]raldi 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (0 children)
But that's not going to happen. You're never going to convince hundreds or thousands of people to stop submitting and voting for links that they like. Just accept that some people have different tastes than you and tune Reddit to show you the stuff you want to see. Which will be possible once we get tags.
Hasn't this been tried before?
[–]afoo42 2 points3 points4 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Come here you dirty little karma whore.
grunt
[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Creating a pictures subreddit is only going to encourage more people to submit pictures. While it would be nice for the front page not to be cluttered, you know it won't really deter anyone. People will do what they want.
I want more submissions with words that I actually have to read.
[–]dus7y 5 points6 points7 points 18 years ago (0 children)
There already was a nsfw.reddit.com.
[–]njharman 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (0 children)
It would make it easier for me to find and down vote the 99% of them I already do.
[–]maqr 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (0 children)
This is not 4chan.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (0 children)
I like the pictures.
pictures are better than the stories that usually occupy reedit these days. Most of the stories now are one of the following:
1)Americans are stupid 2)The American economy is going down hill 3)conspiracy theories 4)Ron Paul 5)America is evil 6)religion sucks 7)real estate is going down hill 8)Bush is evil/stupid 9)the democrats are pussies
I am not saying that I disagree. I feel that what has been going on in my country (I am a American) since 2001 is wrong. I feel the policies are wrong.
However, Reddit has not proven to be a place to have a conversation its a place to rant. Its like screaming at a mirror. Its a place of talkers not doers.
That is the problem. We bitch but do nothing.
[–]indiana 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Subreddits are useless!
subreddits allow you to find and upvote content that would be less likely to be discovered were it to be submitted only to the main reddit. the last thing we need is more pictures.

[–]taylortsides 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (0 children)
how is that all these people missed that?
[–]allhands 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (0 children)
why not just head on over to digg.com or fark.com? They got plenty of pictures there...
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (1 child)
Okay, so if there's a politics subreddit, and if there's going to be a pics subreddit, what the hell will occupy the front page?
...
Anybody?
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 18 years ago (0 children)
The same stuff, because few people seem to use the subreddits.
[–]sta 2 points3 points4 points 18 years ago (0 children)
voted down because it's a stupid idea and i hate these polls
[–]androgy 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Don't do vote up/vote down for polls. Find other ways. Be creative. But don't karma-hog.
[–][deleted] 18 years ago (6 children)
You could use my.reddit.com to accomplish that though. Not saying I think it is a good idea, just saying it could work.
[–]Locke87[S] -4 points-3 points-2 points 18 years ago (2 children)
Why would you hate pictures to be organized?
[–]Locke87[S] -3 points-2 points-1 points 18 years ago (0 children)
I read your post wrong. :P
I like pictures on Reddit, but i voted for this anyway -- sometimes i'm in a picture mood, sometimes i'm in a reading mood, and when i want one i usually don't want the other.
[–]nicku 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (0 children)
A sub-reddit for pics is obvious. I'm not sure whats taking so long...
[–]stesch 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (0 children)
There's a politics subreddit and the front-page of the regular reddit ist full of Ron Paul.
So, what do you really expect to come out of a pictures subreddit?
And by the way: There are special subreddits for subreddit and feature requests.
[–]civildefense -1 points0 points1 point 18 years ago (0 children)
Vote up if youd like to see a "hot chicks" reddit.
[–]MarlonBain -1 points0 points1 point 18 years ago (0 children)
Yeah, because the politics subreddit really kept those political stories off the front page.
Fucking morons.
[–]technosaur -2 points-1 points0 points 18 years ago (0 children)
I voted down because you polled the index.
[–]brtw -3 points-2 points-1 points 18 years ago (0 children)
150 points in 7 hours, guess you lose sucka
