I generally do not act on isolated feedback from one site. We gather feedback from multiple Discourse instances at minimum before changing anything. You can read a little bit more about that here:

> Discussion is weighted, but only to the extent that the people discussing have regular visibility into multiple Discourse instances with different audiences, 5 to 10 of them ideally, but even 2 or 3 is good.

I’d be more inclined to act here, if I had heard _even once_ that people confronted with a Discourse poll had no idea what to do.
