Misuse of polling?

I don't see anything actionable in the poll.

The poll in this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=518563) thread is a 10-option slam on the subject of the thread. The thread purports to be on the XM/Sirius merger, but we get a scant post about how the thread starter doesn't know anything about satellite radio (and yet thinks it sucks).
This is a spam thread and at least needs to be moved if not deleted or de-polled (is that even possible?).
I know it seems like a tiny thing to bring here, but the irresponsible and juvenile use of polls must have struck a nerve. Apologies if I've overreacted.

No? It looks like trolling to me.
If Sel Appa hadn't bothered with the poll and the OP had said:
I really don't use satellite radio, so I don't really care.
(as it does), and then continued with "Satellite radio "sucks so much that I cringe at the thought of it"" (option 3 on the poll), the thread would be closed because of blatant trolling, surely?
Just my two cents.

Thanks, HR. I wasn't sure, and it's probably just my "old man syndrome" just starting to kick in. I'll abide by your concise and chronologically pre-emptive ruling. Jolt's capacitor is fluxing again.

Borderline, at best, but not really actionable. I concur with HotRodia's statement.
