Re: Which US Friendly Poker Room Do You Least Trust?

To rate the rooms 1-5 would have been painful with 5 different polls.

Sure, but it would actually give you a meaningful answer. The way you have done this will give you an easy answer, but one that has no meaning.
I feel that if one site gets the highest score, it is probably because it is the most high profile/has the most accounts/had the most bad experiences with it.
eg, hypothetical scenario:
Site A has 1million users. 1% of them have had problems. 10,000 people post about it, and there are 10,000 threads about this. Thus, very low trust, and would likely get a high score on your method.
Site B has 10 users. 100% of them have had problems. 10 people post about, and there are 10 threads about this. Thus, unlikely to be the most untrustworthy site in the eys of most people - 'cause people don't know about the problems.
Which site is least deserving of trust? I think in this hypothetical scenario, Site B is obviously far less deserving of trust.
If your purpose was to start a thread and a poll with very little effort, you have succeeded. If your purpose was to obtain even half meaningful information on the question of poker site trust, you have failed.
