That was the voting method back in the old days. As time has gone on, standards have gone up, and now voting systems have become more demanding. (which is a good thing) And as such, poll voting is seldom used due to not requiring users to put effort into their votes, and is in fact, strongly discouraged- but it isn't illegal. Although these days, you'll no matter what have someone point out that voting via polls isn't that great of an idea, and encourage you to take it down, so I guess it's kinda silly that the battle policy still says it's okay to have poll voting even though almost every noob these days who puts up a poll gets told off by someone.

I, personally, think that poll voting is very unreliable as well.
