Ok, I think some people don't understand what options like "Other" and "Secret nth option" mean. Polls aren't unlimited, I have only 12 options for each of them. And since I'm human and have preferences and opinions myself, it will affect the way I make polls, although I try to be neutral and consider different points of view. I know that sometimes I can forget something. Sometimes I can't fit everything you want into a poll. And that's why I usually put an "Other" button so that if you haven't found option that reflects your opinion, you could press it and write in the tags your opinion. If it's essential for you to have a poll where your opinion is a separate option, you can ask me to make another poll (just please do so politely and keep in mind that sometimes I may not be interested in making another poll, and I may refuse you) or you can make your own poll with whatever options you like. If you dislike the poll, just scroll past it. There's truly no need to tell me that my post sucks. I don't know what reaction you want to get from me by doing this, but it'll probably disappoint you. If you're really upset about the poll, just block me, save your time and nerves (ofc unless I've said something offensive in my poll, in which case please correct me). These are just polls on a half-dead website about a show that closed three years ago. It's really not that serious.
I should've done this sooner, probably it would have prevented some unpleasent situations.
Firstly, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other forms of bigotry aren't welcome on this blog. I will try to block people who will spread these things in my notes (I'm sorry in advance if I miss something).
Secondly, criticizing characters (and even actors) is allowed, and you can write about it in your tags! But only if poll goes like this "What don't you like about X" or something like that. If poll goes something like "What is X's favorite food" then please refrain from writing paragraphs about how you hate X. I like to read different opinions, but if your only opinion is that you hate everything and everyone and you express it on all my posts, then I don't want it.
Thirdly, you can discuss things on my posts but only if you stay civil. As soon as you start to reply to each other with insults, I give you a warning, and if you continue to insult each other, I block you.
Fourthly, please don't think of these polls as if it's a presidential election. The results don't mean anything, they won't affect anything. I might say "huh, these're interesting results", and that'll be all. If you think that opinions about the topic of the poll will upset you, please consider not looking into its notes. I have to read notes, because it's my posts and I kind of asked for this, but you don't have to, just keep scrolling.
And lastly, another warning: I'm not native English speaker, and my brain can't handle writing correctly even in my first language which means my sentences can be awkwardly and sometimes incorrectly worded. I'm sorry, I know this can be frustrating to read.
To anyone who keeps complaining on polls where you have to choose between dean/sam/casperson that I missed samdeanperson, casdeanperson, samcasperson options (although I only saw one of those groups complain about it, but whatever), please stop it. I won't add these options because there are only 12 of them in the polls. Even if I wanted to (I don't), I couldn't include Dean fans, Cas fans, Sam fans, DeanSam fans, CasDean fans and SamCas fans in the polls (and no, I won't add just DeanSam, that would be unfair). Stop acting like I'm somehow oppressing you by not including the specific option you want. Either you decide who you like the most (and maybe politely announce that you really like two tfw characters) or you just don't vote.
From now on, if you complain about it in the tags, I may just block you (depending on my mood). Because this is my blog and I should be enjoying it, not getting an endless stream of annoying complaints.
EDIT: tags that you can block if you would like to avoid seeing some of the stuff I post:
#pollsnatural_opinion - I write my opinion in the tags to the poll (also, when I write under this tag, I get lazier and don't edit my thoughts as much as I should, which results in poorly worded and incorrect sentences, so be careful with that one).
#pollsnatural_about_destiel - poll is focused on destiel.
Posts tagged as destiel/sastiel/other ships are mainly intended for shippers of these pairings. I add options for non-shippers to give them a chance to see results, but I'm most interested in what shippers think. So I ask you to stop treating these polls as some kind of competition. They are not. If I need a competition poll, I always try not to add tags to it that might be blocked by different sides of the fandom (like ship names). If I tag post as destiel, it means that I don't want angry rants from non-shippers on this post, but a discussion between destiel shippers.
#pollsnatural_wank - sometimes I fight with people, it can be unpleasant.
