Here's my methodology:
1: read the thread title
2: read the question title
3: if they are opposite, don't vote
4: if they are same, don't think, just vote (:lol: which is what I voted for)
Cheers

Only biased when my team is in a heated playoff battle, I may get a bit subjective. But otherwise I believe I'm a fair poster that tries to entertain the devils advocate.

Especially when they are exact opposites.

For example (I made it up, but I've seen questions like that):
Title: "Should Jonathan Kuminga leave the Warriors?"
Poll question: "Should Jonathan Kuminga extend with the Warriors?"

Am I supposed to click Yes or No?

:lol: It's why I voted this way, sometimes it can be confusing as :lol:

Edit: I remember a while back, there was a thread about Kobe, op was asking in poll, do you build around or over Kobe, to me they're 2 very different questions IMO.

Around means you're building around Kobe and having Kobe as your #1 option
over means instead of Kobe you picking etc IMO got everyone voting wrong, I won't mention who it was due to respect to OP, we all make blunders on here, it can be confusing at times.

Voting is that opportunity and I take it very seriously.

I vote for my fav players and deliberately not vote on his peers (when it comes to multi-selection votes) so that my vote has more impact on my fav players.

And when someone asks "who the heck vote for X are you out of your mind" I just stay silent and be happy.

Stop the steal from dead(on the inside) people voting
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

"I go by best available option"

I will admit that. "I sometimes get confused with title of thread and what op is asking"

I usually go by if they consider Shawshank Redemption the GOAT movie or not.

Or if they consider Nolan overrated or not.

Or if they act as if Oppenheimer was anything but mid or not.

Oppenheimer was **** mid and im tired of acting as if it's not.

Insomnia and Memento are his best films the rest are EEEEEEEEEEH

Batman flicks were good.

If I could have voted for 2, I would have taken “best available option” and “ I sometimes get confused with title of thread and what op is asking lol”, but since you can only do 1 I just went with the boring option.

'I go by best available option' isnt a good option as many ppl vote based on their own bias.
