Would you be allowed to post links to voting polls but not request people to vote a certain option?

All voting threads are banned on every forum, unless of course the vote is related to StarCraft.

Isn't the point of the blog section to write about whatever you want?

You are saying that if I write an update about how my friend is competing in Miss America, I'm doing her PR and I'm really nervous that she won't get enough online votes, my post will be deleted? Seems strange that anyone would be allowed to ramble about their day, but this would be a no-no.

1. "Hi guys, my friend won this round of Miss America! She is going onto the next round of the competition. I am doing her PR and I am worried she won't have enough votes, but she's a great girl and hopefully it'll work out. Here is a picture of Incontrol in a bathing suit, I believe he looks quite dashing. What did Captain Jean-Luc Picard find in his toilet? The Captain's Log."

2. "Hi guys, my friend won this round of Miss America! She is going onto the next round of the competition. I am doing her PR and I am worried she won't have enough votes, but she's a great girl and hopefully it'll work out. She needs your help, vote here."

3. "Hello Good Users of the TeamLiquid Forums, Im am Mrs. Uncontrolable of the MIss America USA. I'm writing this message to you as I am assured by our good mutual friend mr. incontorling that you are of the most trustworthy character. I come to you with a very urgent and handsome proposition for you. Today I was alerted today that my friend, the deposed queen of Oregon shall soon lose her crown. My solicitor, mr. Incontroling assures me that I can acquire assistance from you during this time of crisis. For your help i Can generously give you 25% of all my Miss America pictures. To initiate the transaction you must first Send to Me a small portion of your votes to hold in escrow so as Queen Oregon can retain her title until a future date whenstforth you shall recieve all yoru pics back ten fold. Please kindly initiate the transaction so I can make you a very picture-rich users please.

Sincerely You'res in Jesus,

mrs uncontrolable"

Because we have decided that our forums need to have at least some point of discussion. Homework threads are basically "i am lazy do my homework for me" requests, and we don't want to encourage that. 99% of users asking for help have very few posts and are just looking to get something for free. This pushes down legitimate discussion threads and encourages more behavior like this. Tech support is the same way. Unless its specifically related to StarCraft, we advise users to go to other forums regarding fixing their computer. Most of the problems can be resolved with some diligent googling, but most users just want others to fix their stuff for them.

TL is not a personal servant to help you with your problems -- there's a give and take. Ultimately we want to facilitate a discussion that's interesting and helpful for everyone, not just one person who is too lazy to do their own work.

I don't see how this applies to "voting" threads. I'd really be interested in the mods reasoning behind this decision. Not that I necessarily disagree- just curious.
