Its very irritating that my users seem to post the answer to a poll in long explanations instead of just doing the poll. Is there anyway to turn off or restrict replies to a poll topic?

I think you would need to close the topic for that?
Or possibly only have polls in a (Edit: Nope. #polls category where you could limit permissions for replies, perhaps.
You need reply permission for the category to be able to vote in a poll)

Extending this a bit, sometimes the converse would be useful.
Often in polls it is useful to have a free text answer, or an expanded answer. For example:
- This feature request has my full support
- I donāt think that this request is helpful
- Other
0
voters
Iād want āOtherā to invite a free text response, either as a (short) reply, or maybe something in the poll itself.

Indeed we need a āvoteā permission added to category settings.
Although imagine CSS could be used to help hide the reply buttons if not Op/Staff.
Youād struggle to restrict that to topics with a poll, unless you had a dedicated tag or category. I could image a poll-replies-off tag restricted to staff with the relevant CSS could do the trick nicely though.

Yes you would either need a dedicated category or tag to function best or a method to detect poll
But in my idea would be more to have a dedicated category.
Imho is why a feature request or plugin to add category security option for voting However a dedicated tag might be more flexible.
