| \* The author object follows the structure of the user object, but is only a valid user in the case where the message is generated by a user or bot user. If the message is generated by a webhook, the author object corresponds to the webhook's id, username, and avatar. You can tell if a message is generated by a webhook by checking for the `webhook_id` on the message object. | ||

so im all for documenting this behavior more explicitly, but when i was testing it looked like polls was a bit different—content, embeds, and attachments are empty values, but poll is actually just not sent as a field when you don't have message content intent enabled.
would love for this to be consistent at API layer at some point and have it actually just be an empty object or a partial, but for now we should probably document explicitly that it isn't passed if the app doesn't have message content intent

personally i would like it to be present without MESSAGE_CONTENT, but with empty strings and no emoji:
With intent:
{
"id": "1",
"fields fields fields": "fields",
"poll": {
"question": {"text": "Favorite Discord Clients"},
"answers": [
{"answer_id": 1, "poll_media": {"text": "Stable"}},
{"answer_id": 2, "poll_media": {"text": "PTB"}},
{"answer_id": 3, "poll_media": {"text": "Canary"}}
],
"expiry": "2024....",
"allow_multiselect": true,
"layout_type": 1,
"results": {...} // missing without intent
}
}Without intent:
{
"id": "1",
"fields fields fields": "",
"poll": {
"question": {"text": ""},
"answers": [
{"answer_id": 1, "poll_media": {"text": ""}},
{"answer_id": 2, "poll_media": {"text": ""}},
{"answer_id": 3, "poll_media": {"text": ""}}
],
"expiry": "2024....",
"allow_multiselect": true,
"layout_type": 1
}

Oh well, I just intended to add the bits #6746 missed, but it seems like I opened a (small) can of worms here. Guess I'll think of a way to convey this as little verbose as possible these days / am open to suggestions in the meantime...
