In 6.5, I see options to allow Admin and Mods or Everyone to create polls.

Is there a way to eliminate polls all together, or allow only the Admin to create polls?

rewrite a little of the code.. where it allows just admin and mod to create poll in newpost.php

change

// ---------------------
// Can they post a poll?
if ( ($config['allowpolls'] == 1) || ($user['U_Status'] == "Administrator") || ($user['U_Status'] == "Moderator") ) {
$makepoll = "
<input type="checkbox" name="addpoll" value="1" class="formboxes" />
{$ubbt_lang['ADDPOLL']} <input type="text" name="questions" size="2" class="formboxes" value="1" />
<br /><br />
";
}


to

// ---------------------
// Can they post a poll?
if ( ($config['allowpolls'] == 1) || ($user['U_Status'] == "Administrator")) {
$makepoll = "
<input type="checkbox" name="addpoll" value="1" class="formboxes" />
{$ubbt_lang['ADDPOLL']} <input type="text" name="questions" size="2" class="formboxes" value="1" />
<br /><br />
";
}

then set it to only admins/mods can make polls which now they can't.
