Ive noticed it before, but suddenly I understood the problem:

Each time someone makes a vote on a poll, the 'last reply' time/date is reset to the time a vote was done:

Take for example:
https://forums.freddyshouse.com/showthread.php?t=198434

Last reply is over a week old, yet its very high in the topic-list.

It's annoying, as you think 'oh a new reply, lets read that in a while' only to see there is no new reply, just someone who voted :S

Yeah, this is a feature of vBulletin, answering a poll bumps the thread, thats why you should always give your poll a closing date when you create it.

I normally lock a poll thats been dead for a few weeks/months then bumped with a vote.

Thats cus you guys report everything - someone just has to call another user an "idiot" and 4 people complain.
