Unfortunately, we can't hide the bars of the polls. But then the users will complain. If we don't do it, other users complain. This is a lose-lose situation. Why not do what Skelly has been doing? Omit the shitty articles that have entered in the PotM nominations/something that has a gaining point on something, because users never seen this before?

Eventually we still get complaints. People don't generally like getting told "Oh, your opinion doesn't matter because of this." Whether it's a good reason or not. There has to be another way... Well. I can only think of having a header on the PotM nominations that say "No famous articles - This includes Jeff the Killer, Raparat, ect." anything in the Project:Spinoffs, Trollpastas included, and include that this is not a popularity game - users are subjected to vote their own personal favorite article, not vote for the one that's winning. That's all I can think of on this.
