Aiwor.com is an internet community mainly dedicated to the posting of and responding to polls.
The name is an acronym standing for "Am I wrong or right?".
The site's motto, "Make the world a better place; Tell an idiot they're wrong," is taken both seriously and, at least in some cases, ignored.Any given user might fall at any point along this spectrum.At present, it contains nearly 40,000 polls.
Quite often the more controversial polls spark debates in their replies; it is therefore useful for honing one's debate skills.Popular themes for debate include religion, politics, practices, life sciences, homosexual issues, ethics, law, crime, and punishment, and so on.Of special note are the polls that blend any two of these; they usually have the highest degree of feeling to the replies. A great many polls are not of the sort that spark debate; these more lighthearted offerings usually cover things like activities, trivia, the odd nuances that one noticed about life, and just about anything else that might come to mind.
A default poll has two poll options, one of which is "you're right", and the other is "you're so, so wrong".The text on these options can be changed at will, and more options can be added if necessary.After a poll has been submitted, it can be replied to like a thread.The website's layout and functioning is similar to that of an image board, the main difference being that only the opening post with the poll statement is shown on the main page (instead of its first few replies).Like on image boards, a poll is bumped when it is replied to.
Polls can be rated thought-provoking, funny, or moronic by users.A poll will be deleted by a moderator after being rated moronic by a specific amount of users.
Anyone is free to create a poll, as the website doesn't require its members to sign up and allows one to post anonymously.The use of a username is optional, but usernames can be reserved to an IP adress by their creators to limit impersonation.Using a username (even unreserved) automatically creates a personal profile where statistics about the user are displayed.Users can chose to add/edit a "blurb" on their profile to display personalized content.
There are no rules on the site about the type of topics that are debated in a poll.The polls are organized into different categories, such as politics, computers, etc. that can be accessed from tabs on the site.The site contains a chatbox and a search feature, and allows it users to upload files.
