James,
No one around here reads the rules, except the moderators and Brent. So posting up the rules you suggest wouldn't do anything to prevent the thread jacks. Posting your poll (why are you hung up about the poll specifically...just go post the question in General or the Club House and be done with it) won't change anything as the powers that be (namely Carlton) have told you it isn't changing back to the old system.

Also, if you sold the seats once for $325 you can sell them again for $325. Relax a little, you'll live longer.
