;How do I make polls?
:To vote in polls you have to have 25 posts and been registered for at least one week. You can only make a poll if you are starting a new topic. What you need to click to add a poll to your post is the 'Yes, post a poll...' box near the bottom of the screen. If you need to add a poll later then you need to PM an Administrator.

;Can I vote in polls?
:To vote in polls you have to have 25 posts and been registered for at least one week. This was introduced to prevent people creating duplicate accounts and spamming our site awards with them.

;Can I edit a poll that I created in my thread?
:No you can't unfortunately, however you can report your opening post in your thread and ask a site moderator to edit the poll for you to whatever you want. Alternatively you can also create a new thread and report the old thread for deletion, whichever you prefer.

====Reputation====

The reputation feature is a fun little thing that enables you to see your community standing with the other members. In theory, the more reputation you have, the more highly thought of you are by the other members of the community. It has no other real meaning, and many members choose to disable it.

Reputation here will be described as if you were using the default TWC skin. The symbols are different on the other skins.
If you are using the Rome skin, the add rep button is an eagle standard, a Ring is a helmet, and a crown is a legionary standard. The principle is the same however

:You can only add 1 point of rep to each post and you can only give 7 points total a day.<br> Additionally, you have to rep 5 different users before you can give rep to the same user again, in order to prevent rep abuse.

! style="text-align:left" |<h5>Who can give rep?</h5>
|-
|style="text-align: left; width: 100%; font-size: 100%; background-color: #FBF5EB;"|
:Because of issues with account cloning in the past, where people created accounts just to give themselves rep, only users registered for at least one week with over 25 posts may give rep. Furthermore, it may take an hour or so after your 25th post for your rep to start working, even if you've been registered for over one week by that point.

|-
|style="text-align: left; width: 100%; font-size: 100%; background-color: #FBF5EB;"|
:Generally people also mention their username along with the rep comment, if they have not mentioned then it's an anonymous rep and thus can't be known. However if you have been insulted via rep feature then contact any moderator or an administrator as they have the access to view it & will remove the insult & take care of the offender as per TWC's terms of service.

! style="text-align:left" |<h5>Where does reputation show?</h5>
|-
|style="text-align: left; width: 100%; font-size: 100%; background-color: #FBF5EB;"|
:Your reputation shows up in two places. One, on the left hand side where you post, a collection of symbols shows a rough guide to how much rep you have. Two, in your control panel. There's a more comprehensive display of the last 20 rep points you received, showing which post you got it for, who gave it, and any comment they left.

! style="text-align:left" |<h5>Can I disable reputation?</h5>
|-
|style="text-align: left; width: 100%; font-size: 100%; background-color: #FBF5EB;"|
:Yes, you can disable your reputation in your control panel. If you do so, your own rep won't show up but you'll still be able to give other people rep as well as receive it yourself.

! style="text-align:left" |<h5>What does it look like?</h5>
|-
|style="text-align: left; width: 100%; font-size: 100%; background-color: #FBF5EB;"|
:Each symbol represents a certain number of rep points. It starts at five, so if you have less than 3 rep points, you'll show the scales symbol for neutral rep.
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/y2skin/Reputation_New/Balance.png - Neutral Rep
:Some very few members who have received neg rep from the staff will have this replaced by a red square. Those users who have disabled the reputation feature will simply show a grey square.
:Once you hit 3 rep points, you'll get 1 gold ring
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/y2skin/reputation/reputation_pos.png
:Each ring = 3 points, so if someone has 5 rings, they have 15 Rep points. You can only get a maximum of 5 rings, after that the rings are transferred into a fleur-de-lis. 
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/y2skin/reputation/reputation_pos2.png
:Each gold fleur-de-lis is worth 15 rep points.
:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/y2skin/reputation/reputation_highpos.png
:Each red fleur-de-lis is worth 150 rep points. 
:*Scales: 0-2 Rep
:*1 Ring: 2-3 Rep
:*1 gold fleur-de-lis: 15 Rep
:*1 red  fleur-de-lis: 150 Rep
