On the Mass PM hack I installed on HabboxWorld it allows you to set criteria for receiving the PM (such as join date, post count and any fields you can set via the User CP), so that could be an option for the future.

I think what's been said above is right. You shouldn't force members to read something they may have no interest in. Also some members may feel obliged to vote and may just select anything, and this could give a less than accurate poll reading, which surely defeats the purpose of the poll in the first place.
Why can't there just be a special announcement link? That way, members who really want to contribute to improving things, will read it ;)
I wouldnt of saw the thread if i werent forced to view it. As it would of got bumped down by new threads quicker then i saw.
i agree with starter
the same with me, however i think a link at the top of the page that didn't go when you scrolled down (unless you clicked it away) would better. then people who want to vote can, and those who dont want to can just click it off.
kind like what http://www.engadget.com/ has at the top
Like that story where the the old man and the boy rode through the town with a donkey.
Personally I think this is a good addition to the forum, its so hard to actual get a valued feedback on any forum as the threads are easily bumped off the forum homepage.
This way we can actually get a majority vote in a particular item and rather quickly at that. As oppose to pinning a poll in a forum and having a header saying "Please do not forget to vote in our poll".
