Unfortunately, the poll was run as a decision-making mechanism,

Well sure, but it still didn't show that *nobody* wants ratings
which is what people in this thread seem to be claiming.
But it *did* show that the vast majority of people did NOT want what
we ended up with.
Martin *has* offered to do another poll, an offer that has been ignored.
Without some discussion of what that poll is supposed to accomplish,
and a sensible design of the poll, it would be pointless.
An information-gathering survey might be useful, asking people to
indicate their use cases and reasoning for or against a commenting
system, as well as asking whether they were aware that there is
already a rating/comment system.
But that's an entirely different thing from putting to a vote what
features a rating system should have and using it to make a
decision. (Which is what the previous "poll" was.)
