Poll that requires you to choose more than 1 response doesn't actually require you to do so

Title:
Poll that requires you to choose more than 1 response doesn't actually require you to do so

Area:
Entries

Summary:
Either the polls requiring more than 1 response should be unskippable, or there shouldn't be such an option, and more than 2 responses should be the minimum.

Description:
You can post polls that restrict the number of votes (ticky-boxes). This works as intended for anything requiring 2 or more votes. However, you can also choose to skip questions. The ability to skip questions makes the option "at least one answer required" useless.

It should either be:

1. an unskippable question; or
2. the minimum setting should be "at least two answers required".

I'm not sure which would be better, and which would be easier to code (especially considering the fact that a poll can be constructed using custom poll HTML, not just the poll wizard), so I'm throwing this to the comm at large.


(with thanks to azurelunatic for bringing this up and discussing it with me in the first place).
