I am interested in taking a consensus amongst the community on certain actions or rules to implement. Is there a way to post a poll?

The absolute easiest way without having to use an external site would probably be to post 1 comment per option you want voted on, lock the post, and ask people to upvote the option they want. This also lets people vote for multiple options at once, for better or worse.

If you want to use an external site consider Strawpoll. Very quick and easy to set up.

That is a good idea, thank you for that. I am trying to gauge if the community wants to prohibit politically related pictures in c/pics. The mugshots this week caused a stir that was fun to wake up to.

Oh I can imagine. Expect some pushback no matter which way that vote goes, people get real vocal about political content, especially US and double especially Trump related.
