It seems to me that the ProZ.com moderators for these polls are mostly catering to beginners, and I remember most of the questions were interesting in the beginning - the first time around.
I also think that some translators prefer to stay anonymous, because they never know if their question gets modified to a point, where they don't recognize it themselves.
BTW: Recently I have submitted a couple of fresh and (at least to me) interesting questions, but for some reason ...
