Discussion posts can be natively created on Polkassembly by anyone. There is no requirement for the creator to hold or deposit any tokens.

How do I create a discussion?

2. Click on the Add New Post button

3. You can then add the title and description for the post

4. You can choose to add a poll to your discussion post

• A poll is used to gauge off chain community sentiment on a proposal before it goes to voting.

• This will also lead to creation of a council signal which are off chain votes by council members
