I'm not going to get into a big discussion about this but those types of posts and threads are completely acceptable and don't affect our server or its problems in the least. It's not spamming at all.
While discussing their choice would be nice, it's not necessary. People generally post what they chose because that way everyone can see who chose what. They're also answering the thread's question in that way. If the poll doesn't include showing who voted for what, posting what you voted for is helpful and insightful. Sometimes I know I'm curious to see what a certain user voted for, just because I'm inquisitive. Also, there are times when I'll be like, "...who voted for that??" so I like to see who did. I don't really need them to go on about why they did.
Take for example a poll asking, "what color hair do you have?" I'd be really interested to see who has what, just so I could get a mental picture in my head. So I couldn't care less if someone just answered, "Blonde." because that's all I need.
