Default Poll Threads always bringing old Un-wanted Threads back from the Dead

I think how Poll Threads that when voted on, even though no one commented on, should not bump to the top of the forum as it what is the case now. I have seen it all too often bring un-wanted threads back from the dead and really make it annoying IMO. You then look in it to find out the last comment was 8 months ago, some NEWB decided to do a search, found an old thread and thought it would be cool to vote on it, give no comment and now its back. Lame if you ask me. Just IMO.....

not much.....if we find a thread that has been bumped for a stupid comment or something, it may get locked, especially if folks are just flaming b/c it was revived.

other times, there are useful conversations that arise from threads brought back - so those are worthwhile.

Wouldn't the code have to be altered significantly to make that change?
Probably not worth the effort.
