Raw API, yes. Djs currently don't support it. I think it's in APIMessage or something.

not through DJS directly, but on the API yes, messages with a poll in them have a new poll property that contains everything relating to the poll
"poll": {
"question": {
"text": "testing"
},
"answers": [
{
"answer_id": 1,
"poll_media": {
"text": "1"
}
},
{
"answer_id": 2,
"poll_media": {
"text": "2"
}
}
],
"expiry": "2024-04-11T14:30:13.975179+00:00",
"allow_multiselect": false,
"layout_type": 1,
"results": {
"answer_counts": [],
"is_finalized": false
}
}

dont spoonfeed also that can quickly get bot ratelimited no i mean fetching message part

don't need to do that, listen for raw/the dispatch event on client#ws, match the event and make the delete rest call that fetch not being associated with the rest instance, so not respecting rate limits is a huge issue

Definitely seems like a clunky workaround yeah. I worked my way through the raw event and figured out a way to detect a poll, timeout the poster, and delete the poll, in my own script.

lol, timeout anyone who makes a poll it's immensely funny to see how people overreact over polls

I mean it's a one minute timeout to dissuade spamming them I have a server with ~11k people in it and we use automod, which seems not to work in polls. I'd just as soon disallow polls, but Discord as usual decided not to provide a functional permission for this feature. Sometimes if you want something to work right you just have to do it yourself.
