Loads of people put '1/4' as an option in a poll.
What does it mean?

Yes. And I don't even think it goes into the points yet. It hasn't yet been divided.
Well, it does count, but since the number is the amount of votes, a quarter of it is the actual point value you've earned.

You get 1/4 of a point for voting, so instead of those who just want the point messing up the vote, they get their own section.

What, so you don't want to vote, you just want to get the 1/4 point?
Pretty much, or if the person is too lazy to read what the topic is about and just wants their points.

It's a nice option because it helps to separate the real answers to your topic from the point whores, well somewhat at least.
