Why would you click Stal when you can just click "view the results of this poll?" Also, why would you force people to vote only to have them vote Stal? Better to just include the option to view the results of the poll.

Because it can represent options not available in the poll?
I don't care, it's just a tradition and IMHO it should be kept

There's another reason, with the current poll script you have to click on the link to show the results every time you enter the thread, with stal it counts you as having voted and it shows the results everytime.

No.
It's my poll, my thread, my rules.
If you don't like that I don't have a STAL option, stay out of my thread.

Well I guess I'll just have to randomly pick one of the options just to see the results.

That's fine with me. The collection of noise from everyone who votes at random will null out to zero anyway.

Sir Tokes A Lot.
If you want to know more, there is a search option.
Do some research.

STAL searches don't bring up much helpful information. knowing that it stands for "Sir Tokes A Lot" I was able to find the answer instantly. thank you for reminding me about the search option! prick

it started back in the day in OTD to make fun of a member by the name of Sir Tokes-A-Lot.
it became a common thing to include a poll option with the name "I am Sir TokesALot", first starting in poll questions that allowed you to make fun of STAL by selecting his option.
it was then shortened into "STAL" over time and has become a tradition in OTD and can be found in a lot of forum wide polls.

Shmoppy McGillicuddy said: Actually one day I dug back through the archives to find the answer, and finally figured it out:
Sir-Tokes-A-Lot one time raised a big huge bitch about this one poll in mushroom cult that had the options of which substrate was the best. He was a noob at this point, and wanted to see the answers, but he was all freaking out because he couldn't see the results without voting, and yet he also wouldn't vote because he thought he didn't have enough experience to give a real answer, and didn't want to skew the results before he saw them.
He whined, bitched, complained, and as a result people started putting the sir-tokes-a-lot option into polls so he could answer that to see the counts without screwing the results up. Partly serious, partly poking fun at him.
Shroomery history, ah, it is surprisingly interesting.

probably. sounds right to me. i just know it became widespread and we'd do it in OTD to make fun of sir tokes.
i thought it was made up to make fun of him, but that sounds much more accurate.
