It seems like I've done more polling than anyone else in regards to Splinterlands. I'd still like to see the team integrate polling on the website so we can get a similar level of engagement/stake as we do with proposals.
The most engagement we've gotten on polls so far is when I forced some onto the website through the proposal system for tournaments, which more or less leads us back to the same place on gathering sentiment with a draft proposal.
You're right though, this one could have definitely benefited from polling for sure. I'll try to set one up tomorrow. Need to think on how best to approach it. Seems people are fine with reapportioning the 6%, but we would definitely need a stake weighted poll to figure out how to run that one. Will take suggestions for what options to poll on in Discord.
If there had been much/any discussion about the number on the other one, I'd have likely ran a poll. From what I saw it was just people for or against, or suggesting things way outside of the scope of the DAO, like Splinterlands charging for API access.
