We know you take these polls seriously. We do, too. We ask that you operate by these guidelines. Organized voting campaigns consisting of friends, family and school communities are OK. Please note, the poll will view rapid-fire voting from any individual IP as an attack and will put that IP in a time out. Use of automation, technical enhancements or other unnatural tactics designed to skew results may result in voiding of votes.
