Submissions are accepted on the 1st and 15th of every month!
If there's a poll you wish someone would make, but it’s too embarrassing or awkward for you to make publicly, submit it to us and we'll post it– completely anonymously!
How to submit a poll:
- Check the date! Is it the 1st or 15th? If not, hold onto your question for the next open submission period.
- Include (1) a title, and (2) all of the answer choices you want the poll to list, up to a maximum of 12
- Choices cannot exceed 80 characters in length, so be concise!
- Send via ask or submission, not DM
Your submissions may also include: additional details, clarifying information, secondary questions, images, or anything else you think is relevant to add to the body of the post.
What about time zones?
- Asks are automatically timestamped. Any submissions timestamped with a date other than the 1st or 15th of the month will be discarded.
- This blog operates on EST (UTC-5) and asks are timestamped accordingly.
- In order to avoid any issues, please keep in mind any difference in time zones and adjust your submission time accordingly. If you're not sure, look up "what time is it in New York?" for a reference point.

Information:
- If it's not a submission day, the askbox is still open for non-poll questions. The askbox being open does not mean submissions are open– check the date!
- Submissions will be posted in the order received and will run for a week. Your submission may be posted weeks or months after you send it. Exceptions: if there's something obviously seasonal or a highly relevant follow-up to a recent poll, it'll probably get bumped forward, or the queue may be adjusted to space out similar topics.
- All submissions are anonymous. This blog will not reveal or discuss the identity of any submitter (beyond general, non-identifying information as relevant to the poll topic).
- We may modify the text of your submission slightly to add more answer choices, clarify meanings, or use more inclusive language.
- Because polls are user-submitted, poll topics and/or results do not represent the social, political, or moral opinions of this blog or its operator(s). We do our best to be mindful of others when posting polls and decline to post submissions that are visibly inflammatory or harmful, but we try to exercise inclusivity and good faith about human curiosity.
