Yes Mar 30, 2017

I've submitted lots.

I think my deepest and most philosophical one was

"Do you wear lurex tights when you work?"

but it was never featured. Shame

lots, but I cannot remember if any were featured.
Some were quite ProZ staff critical and they were probably sorted out though!

Yes, one. It was featured, and I found the results very helpful.

About the lurex tights, we need a picture thread, not a statistics!

Yes, lots Mar 30, 2017

I have submitted lots of quick polls over the years and they have provided some useful insights.

Once - I think Mar 30, 2017

And it that case, so much time passed between the submission and the publication that I didn't even recognize my own poll until the following day.

I submitted several of them, and two of them were featured. But After submitting many polls I thought were interesting and useful for the community, and seeing them being ignored and replaced by "What do you like to do on Wednesday nights?" sort of thing, I gave up, as I find the criteria to select the polls are quite the opposite of what I thought they were.
