I wasn’t sure if it was a bug or not.

If polls are off, but staff can still create polls - I’d expect the polls to work. If polls are off, and even staff can’t create polls, then fair enough, no one can and it’s basically what the setting says.

If its meant to be the latter, then yes it would be a nice feature to be able to limit who can create polls based on group or trust level.
