You're making the mistake that the decision criteria was what people people wanted. The decision criteria is what's best for the forum as the moderation team sees it. The poll was just to find out what everyone else's thoughts were.

Let me ask an obvious question. Say the poll was "Should homophobic threads be allowed." Say the answer was 75% in favour. Should that sway a decision? I don't think so.

Not an identical scenario of course, but that illustrates the idea; the poll was to find out what people thought, our policies are driven out of what we think is best for the form.
