RileyA Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 ...who are you usually wanting to respond? Some polls like the recent kissing one, I'm assuming sexuals need not answer because we will skewer results. Maybe not though. Link to post Share on other sites
J. van Deijck Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Everyone. I don't want anyone to be excluded. 10 minutes ago, RileyA said: Some polls like the recent kissing one, I'm assuming sexuals need not answer because we will skewer results. Maybe not though. For that it's better to specify if you're ace or not, I think. Link to post Share on other sites
Lysandre, the Star-Crossed Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 It depends on how it's worded, if it doesn't explicitly specify the intended response pool then I assume it's fair game. For example I'll answer questions directed towards a named group like "ace spectrum folks" because I'm demisexual so it's not clearly excluding people like me. If it says "asexuals" and has no option for "I'm not asexual " then I tend to pass up on it, or answer in the comment section without adding my name to the vote tabulation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LeChat Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 @RileyA Hi! If it helps, if you're unsure who a member (who made a poll) would like to answer, then one option would be to ask them in a post, in the thread, before answering the poll. Sometimes, members who make polls change/add on things to their polls, after a member(s) have asked them to clarify it or add something. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Revan Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I usually make debate or meme polls Link to post Share on other sites
Ceebs Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I always specify, or if I don't then it's probably not related to (a)sexuality in any way and it's for everyone. Link to post Share on other sites
iff Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 If there is a specific audience, I'd specify the target audience Link to post Share on other sites
Arctangent Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 There are plenty of active AVEN members who aren't ace, so if I only want aces to answer the poll, I specify. If it's not specified, I assume it's fair game for everyone, unless the wording of the questions implies otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites

Waist of Thyme Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Everyone. Most of the polls I make are random questions not related to asexuality. Link to post Share on other sites
iff Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 @RileyA This poll is being locked and moved to the read only Census archive for it's respective year. As part of ongoing Census organisation, and in an attempt to keep the demographics of the polls current with the active user base at the time, the polls will last for one year from now on. However, members are allowed and even encouraged to restart new polls similar to the archived ones if they like them. iff, Census Forum Moderator Link to post Share on other sites
