Polling: Implement polling for Roll20 Forums

We just ran into a situation where our GM ran an outside poll to see what times might be good for an all day Holiday game. The poll has had 8 voters and 23 votes!

It would be great if Roll20 had a 'Poll' type of forum post where players had to vote using their Roll20 account in order to get an accurate poll.

Since you can already vote in this Forum, it doesn't seem like this would be too hard of a feature to implement.

It's a good suggestion and would be a nice feature. I believe someone else has asked for polling in the actual tabletop, for in-game voting ("Should we attack the dragon, or talk to it?").

Additionally there is another suggestion that's about calendaring features, which could be requested to include "availability comparison" (e.g. each participant marks the times they could play in their own time zone, and the GM sees it all compiled translated into his/her time zone, so the GM can determine a time when everyone is available together). If I find the link to that suggestion post, I'll come back and add the link here, because I wonder if this kind of thing would've helped for your holiday game times.

In the meantime, on the Forums you could just ask the poll question, everyone responds in the thread, and count up the votes. Not too hard for 8 players or so. You would see each vote so you'd know if someone voted twice. Except the votes are under each voter's name/post, not anonymous if you wanted aggregate anonymous voting. And in-game, you can do the same thing in the Chat. "Type 1 or Y to vote YES. Type 2 or N to vote NO". Or "we have 5 choices, vote for A, B, C, D, or E by typing the letter".

EDIT:
Another suggestion thread has appeared, asking for the same:

YES! i was just looking for the poll option in the actual tabletop!
I want to use it to determine the MVP of that session to reward inspiration to ... i guess this isn't live yet? :)
