Posting Rules

Post must be a poll. Your post must contain an active poll that users can vote on. Using the upvote/downvote system as a form of voting is not allowed. ^(note)
Be respectful. See more here. Hate speech (racism, homophobia, sexism, transphobia, ableism, etc.) will not be tolerated and will result in a permanent ban. This includes polls with disrespectful or hateful options. Additionally, do not personally attack other users or make inflammatory comments against others.
Posts must have a clear and direct question of the poll in the title and specify the demographic they're for. You are welcome to elaborate on the question in the post body. If your poll is for all demographics, make sure that you provide enough context for anyone to answer.
Flair your post correctly. Make sure that the flair you've chosen fits the subject of your poll. The "Other" flair should only be used if no other flair matches the topic of your poll.
Do not metabait. An example of metabaiting would be asking people to upvote a poll.
Do not post NSFW content. We do not allow for NSFW content, poll or otherwise. Exceptionally creepy content may fall under this rule as well at moderator discretion.
Do not push specific agendas or post loaded questions. Do not manipulate users into following an agenda through polls. This includes loaded questions and insinuating that one option is the “correct” one.
Do not post polls that were already posted in the last week, are on our Frequently Reposted Polls list or are in the top 25 polls of last month. If the poll you're trying to make fails to meet the above requirements, it will be removed.
Limit yourself to 5 posts per 24 hours. If you make more than that, every post after the threshold will be automatically removed until you're eligible to post again. This includes using alternate accounts.

We're trying to keep our rules in sync across all platforms, but we might miss a thing or two. You can always view the most up-to-date rules at the rules page.
