I was warned for making a thread with 190-poll options, which seems fair enough to be warned about. But then a census thread I made with 25 poll options was all of a sudden a good enough excuse to ban me. Please tell me the logic in this.

I can understand banning me for making a poll thread with more than 50 options. But 25? Really?

What did you expect? I gave you a public warning to not exploit the infinite-poll-option glitch until I can fix it, and you go ahead and do it anyway.

The ban (which was obviously not permanent) had nothing to do with the content of your post.

How is a 25-option poll exploiting it even remotely? Even the old Offsite had a cap of 50.

Is there some unspoken rule of the limit being 7 that I'm missing out on?

This forum has no cap as of yet, which implies you should use some common sense until I can implement a hard limit to keep polls like the ones you created from popping up.

Your 25 options were absolutely exploiting the poll system, which is, once again, why you were banned.

This is over now. Your ban is expired and you're free to post. If you'd like to continue this conversation, you may PM me.
