Breathe tye, breathe [....] breathe, breathe!

Read whatever emotion you wish into what I write. Whatever makes you feel better... or worse. Whatever you are shooting for.

but I believe you rejected them as stupid

Sorry, I can't help you with a faulty belief system. Show me where I said a suggestion of yours was stupid. All suggestions I recall or found again look like more of "someone else please do something for me". If noone has bothered to implement a suggestion, then you'd have to ask everyone who didn't why they didn't (especially the one who proposed the idea). I haven't implemented most either simply because it isn't a priority for me or, for some ideas, because implementing them would require on-going work which I have no desire to volunteer for (and noone else has volunteered for either).

Below the results of each poll, there could be a link

Great. Work on that. Write up the exact wording and HTML of how you think it would read well and look good. Find someone to submit it as a patch. Petition someone for access to submit the patch yourself.

If you get really specific about it, you might even get someone to tell you what they don't like about some detail of your choices which might stimulate more interest and help something to actually happen beyond "I link would be nice", "Yeah, it would", ...

Of course, this will do nothing to make submitting a poll suggestion any easier for you so we'll still be left with you complaining about wanting better polls and never providing any.

Why should I be doing work to make submitting of polls trivial enough for you to finally be able lift a finger and actually submit a poll suggestion? There is no evidence that my time wouldn't be wasted on you. So we're even on that point.

There are several other gods and tons of pmdev members. If none of them have implemented your ideas... then site policy say to blame tye. (:
