Your site is: http://www.ask500people.com/ http://www.ask500people.com/ ? Don't be shy about a link, it looks like quite a cool site. Something to consider is what these people are trying to express with their use of the 'mark as inappropriate' and how you can incorporate that. I think reddit proves that you cannot simply tell people how or why to vote a certain way - you can only try and set up systems where the consequence of voting matches what you're trying to do. Are these people trying to filter out a certain kind of poll? Are they signaling a breach of etiquette? Maybe you could leave 'mark as inappropriate' and simply have it count and display the number of marks, and leave it entirely up to human editors to decide whether to keep polls or not. Ultimately when people are trying to express something they really just want to be heard.
