Personally I don't see myself using it, but it may help others.

Something I'd love, that maybe you'd consider (or maybe there a way to do it now I just don't know about?) is being able to go to the archive list and look for polls that ran on specific days. Or at least the month and year they ran? I want to know how long ago a poll when live.

If you want to know when a specific poll went live, you can switch to mobile view, which shows the date.

Example:

Thanks, Peter, this is very helpful. I update this FAQ to include this information:
FAQ: Key Threads - IMDb Poll FAQs Index

- - -

Also, I include the date and time a poll goes live in an Excel file I update periodically on my Google drive. This is the latest version.

Poll Data:Poll_Data_2018-05-31.xlsx

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gbgrP23EbzyIDkTAFsCpqk2Bxt_FPqzm/view?usp=sharing
or
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wQ0zS1Q-SSJLvIFxDP7cpG4l82TEgECpLKANCz-5I5Q/edit?usp=sharing

I provide a link to the latest version in FAQ: Summary Statistics

Thanks Peter - didn't know about that. But you still can't search by a date like this.

Dan, the excel page is great but I wish there was a way this worked within your Poll Watch Index.

Jen,

The size of the Poll Watch blog (https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3900394678511523241#allposts) entries are already large. The Excel files are the only feasible way to include all of the information you and others wish to see.

All the Polls have Lists ?

https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/-list-of-lists

Is there a way to make a List of Lists ?
I found other Lists I would like to list with one of My Lists
I do not want to copy the contents of other persons' list after they did all the work
Add by List number "ls000000000"

How can I find the list upon which a poll is base?

All IMDb polls are based upon IMDb lists. To find the list upon which a poll is based, replace "poll" with with "list" in a poll URL. If you receive a 404 (page not found) error, the author of the poll deleted the list. If the list is deleted, the poll cannot be updated.

So, in this case:
● http://www.imdb.com/poll/4eyyw7SK-0s/ (poll)
● http://www.imdb.com/list/4eyyw7SK-0s/ (list)
● http://www.imdb.com/list/ls056959189/ (this becomes this list)

ACT_1,

Get Satisfaction was created as a help desk message board. When IMDb deprecated the IMDb message boards, they moved the Poll message board to:
https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/categories/imdb_imdb_poll

We are unable to add additional conversations types beyond recent, question, idea, praise, problem and update. Get Satisfaction controls which conversation types are available.

We use the conversation type idea for poll suggestions and praise for live polls.

'Great job, Dan. I think it would be very useful. Bravo, "oh Captain, my Captain." :)

I'll try to brainstorm ideas for more categories.

So far, I've thought: independent films, non-English language films, women, "iconic"/icons, film festivals and awards (other than the Oscars and GGs)

I'm trying to think of a way to categorize what, right now, I can only describe as creative, often humorous, out-of-the-box, often-Elmo-type polls. For instance, off the top of my head, I'm thinking of his "why did the chicken cross the road?" or my "Stewie Asks Hannibal Lecter for Tips..." but there have been many more.

FYC:

-LGBTQ
-African-American
-IMDb (for example, polls like this: https://www.imdb.com/poll/uS91Bs-QyYg/?ref_=po_re)
-IMDb Poll Board Picks (perhaps combined with above "IMDb")
-Little-known Films
-Old or Classic Movies
-Political (for example: https://www.imdb.com/poll/uudKCAvTyok/, https://www.imdb.com/poll/9g-FF3NcPUc/, https://www.imdb.com/poll/fzcMAKcadPs/)
-Art and Literature (films adapted from books; poetry polls; polls about titles; polls about artists; polls about movies based on paintings; polls about posters inspired by paintings; etc.)

Dan, from your uncategorized polls I think you can categorize this one in existing categories:

actors: https://www.imdb.com/poll/jyL_6AQgRp0/ and http://www.imdb.com/poll/n9V4RqD1udQ/

actress http://www.imdb.com/poll/IrmSeNDA4NI/, http://www.imdb.com/poll/hr35s7Iqu2o/ and http://www.imdb.com/poll/6hNHf-1fKhA/

Directors: https://www.imdb.com/poll/U7Gj2BIZFrE/, http://www.imdb.com/poll/DOcg2qy1_LM/ and http://www.imdb.com/poll/6oxyvJ_wKhU/

Bond: http://www.imdb.com/poll/YFKCcWaMdAQ/, http://www.imdb.com/poll/dovJDPheLcw/, http://www.imdb.com/poll/9vyp0KGXQzU/ and https://www.imdb.com/poll/UUsb6fU-DTk/

Music: http://www.imdb.com/poll/5c2AALGcQu8/, http://www.imdb.com/poll/jXGTo88_SG4/, http://www.imdb.com/poll/ydCZm7flZHs/, http://www.imdb.com/poll/eXBC7Xl3ssM/ and http://www.imdb.com/poll/3VKVU_SRwYw/

Game of Thrones: http://www.imdb.com/poll/aWz5bEGpauY/

Holidays: http://www.imdb.com/poll/Na_SrApqAA0/ and http://www.imdb.com/poll/swPGj01dT9c/

ClassicFilms: http://www.imdb.com/poll/pPNTjwDdl7A/

Disney: http://www.imdb.com/poll/Vc4xqmas4B0/

Marvel Cinematic Universe: http://www.imdb.com/poll/l-FjpsmHRgo/, http://www.imdb.com/poll/E7A1DtLsfIk/, http://www.imdb.com/poll/24LVYvzC-xQ/ and http://www.imdb.com/poll/kfO2ID5csvE/

Lord of the Rings: http://www.imdb.com/poll/gs7usYeAiTc/

Quotes: http://www.imdb.com/poll/4rIL-VSrsd0/ and http://www.imdb.com/poll/HCwsX-w2PaU/

Fashion: http://www.imdb.com/poll/imXO8Gm-1FI/

Perhaps Amazon should be another category: http://www.imdb.com/poll/j2kFJ9_is1w/, http://www.imdb.com/poll/pbODxTtS_DQ/, http://www.imdb.com/poll/tfVso5qXdNE/, http://www.imdb.com/poll/ZEVBUQf_MsM/

Video games also have enough polls to merit a category

Also I suggest a category for personal information about IMDb users where polls like this could fit: http://www.imdb.com/poll/9pCXyIaW0QM/and other about beautiful persons where polls like this could fit: http://www.imdb.com/poll/nOuMQkmyOuI/ but I don't know how can they be titled

What will you do with polls that fit in two categories?

You also have two polls incorrectly categorized as Indian, when they are Indiana Jones related: http://www.imdb.com/poll/codan0vuQFs/ and http://www.imdb.com/poll/2-DTM5lDKgQ/

However you could add this one in the Indian category: http://www.imdb.com/poll/G5AtEV7BQ5A/

Pencho15,

Thanks again. Most of what you suggested worked great.

I will not further categorized any poll that's been closed (zzClosed) or removed (zzRemoved).

I added Amazon as a category. One of the polls you suggested was closed. I also found a few more polls that I categorized as Amazon.

I added VideoGames as a category.

Also I suggest a category for personal information about IMDb users where polls like this could fit: http://www.imdb.com/poll/9pCXyIaW0QM/and other about beautiful persons where polls like this could fit: http://www.imdb.com/poll/nOuMQkmyOuI/ but I don't know how can they be titled

I'm not certain what to do with this suggestion.

What will you do with polls that fit in two categories?

When a poll fits within two or more categories, I look for the best fit. If I cannot determine a best fit, I arbitrarily choose the category.

I added IMDb-India-Spotlight as a category, which DC suggested below. This category will take precedence over Indian. I removed the Indiana Jones from the category Indian.
