OK, a little more information.

I’ve now found the `:validate => false` parameter to `Post.save`.

As expected, it bypasses the validation and saves the post, but in doing so it **seems** to stop the poll plugin from creating the `[poll]` structure in the `PostCustomField` row.

Any other ideas?

I’m thinking that I could change the post ownership to a level 4 or system user, carry out my poll actions, and then change the ownership back with validation turned off, but this is already feeling a bit hacky.
