Personally? I like the maybe option. While it may not seem useful/practicual at first glance, it actually digs deep into the general sentiment of whatever population you're working with. How so, one may ask?

Many people answering with a "maybe" may indicate but not necessarily, for example:
- A maybe serves as more of a middle ground between two extreme answers. As a questioner, maybe helps a lot in decision making. Shows more actual interest. Say, you want to do something that will take some of your time.. You want to see whether it is worth it or not. 25% answered yes, 25% answered no and the the rest (50%) went with maybe. That's 25% firm support for your project. In case there was not a maybe, you will have many of these less firm supporters/opposers joining the Yes/No sides, making the final results less accurate (Yes, polls are optional.. Unfortunately people have the tendency to participate even when they are not wholly on board).
- People are naturally biased to answer with a Yes than a No when locked to these two options (Acquiescence Bias). A maybe option will help mitigate that bias.
- Perhaps your question was not clear enough (You are more likely to get more "maybes" with open-ended questions than very speecfic ones.. This gives you an insight that you may need to ask again with more specifics on the subject).

Add to that, trolling is an expected outcome for any of these options, be it maybe, yes or no. However, trolling shines best, in my opinion, when some people feel obliged to influence an optional poll when they have no interest in. Say, Sabfas answering yes/no to LV suggestion/event he will never paricipate in. Having trollers seek the "maybe" option in this case is much better than them going after solid firm answers such as yes/no.

While I personally like the maybe option and find it very helpful (Big fan of maybes.. After being a big fan of yours!!).. I agree that the majority of people would rather have a straight Yes/No answer for more practical reasons.. And solutions have to follow the convienence of the majority! Guess I am upvoting!

true it's kinda useless and people don't use it that much or just to troll, so removing it would be best thing

I believe,  its not only for troll this vote is for person that not surely about their vote
when maybe vote higher than yes/no its means they let criminal boss to host or not  :thumb: :cros:

If they aren't sure, they simply do not need to vote. Voting is not compulsory. 'maybe' votes just ruin the percentage ratio of yes/no votes, which in return will make it harder for the vote creator to come to a decision.

It's kinda of pointless to have it, removing it will be better.  :tick:

It's a pointless command, only Yes and No questions should be valid for events therefore people can give exact answers.Positive :tick:
