      You're batting two for two. Not only do you have first post and first vote, but you also have second UID and second comment in the entire site.

      [Taking a bow.] Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. (Assuming I'm not kicked off for making terrible jokes.)

    In more semi seriousness, do we want to have a CN-esque poll monkey?

      To be honest, I'm not sure it really matters. If an editor wants to set a poll every once in awhile, I'm sure as hell not going to object. With no vote duplication protection, its basically a just for fun thing

      I'd like to see CowboyNeal stay as a the joke option. It's a bit of harmless humour that gets funnier the longer it goes on, it's handy from time to time when you have to include a 'I don't have a ___' type option in a poll, and it forces creativity in poll-making.

      Indeed. Here's a short list of missing options:

      * Certainly.
      * Absolutely.
      * Of course.
      * Definitely.

    Here's some changes I'd like to see:
    1) Eliminate the restriction that you can't moderate in a discussion you've posted in. For me personally, it results in me never moderating, ever. I always see a place where I want to comment, which undoes the moderation. So I don't even bother any more. It's a dumb restriction. If you want to limit it to not being able to moderate a post that's directly related to my post (such as a reply to my post, or a post mine is a reply to), that's fine.

    2) Eliminate or at least reduce the "slow down cowboy!" thing. My posts usually come as bursts in a discussion.

    3) Make it so I can edit my own posts (you can put a time limit on this if you want, perhaps 5 minutes).
