Thank you for the help with Suggestion Polls
Added 2022-09-08 20:53:59 +0000 UTCThanks everyone, I've looked through all of the suggestions and will take them into account. For now, suggestion polls will be the same, but hopefully around the beginning of October I'll change up the format of suggestion polls :)
Hey everyone! I was going to open up the first suggestion poll for this month and came to realize something - not all, but a large majority of suggestions that win seem to be of the same concept.
Now, this might not seem like much of an issue, but having some diversity would be nice so that different ideas are encouraged. I want to achieve this, but I also don't want to put hard limitations as I've done once in the past with a "there cannot be any x related content this month"
Any recommendations/suggestions would be helpful as this would be something that would effect all of you in some form. Thank you!

Yep no reason to make things to hard to understand

2022-09-09 22:55:37 +0000 UTCJust make it simple and say one category can't be done twice in a row.

2022-09-09 21:34:46 +0000 UTCI second this. It could be like "pick this month's theme: boobs, butts, feet, gentle, destruction, etc" so people would submit ideas involving whatever wins. Then for the idea to be drawn, people pick their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices.

2022-09-09 18:33:16 +0000 UTCI suggest using a randomizer for the categories & theme and letting the poll be character only. Example. Poll for us to pick a character (any character that wins) & Randomization to select the following: Relative Size of Giantess to everything else: range with 1 to -1,000,000 min & 1,000,000 to 1 max with 1 representing normal size. This is a gamble since it would be a possibility to have sizes that are very close to1 to 1 size, but if unsatisfied you can always reroll. Location: bedroom, city, outer space, etc... Theme: gentle, growth/shrink, destruction, vore/gore, sex, tiny exploration, tiny climbing, etc... Body Focus: feet, hands, mouth, eyes, hair, ass, breast, vagina, clothes, etc... Not only would this help keep things fresh, but it could make for a fun challenge to make these randomized scenarios work for the characters that won.

2022-09-09 12:44:49 +0000 UTCYeah basically themed categories, maybe ranked votes so people can put in what they feel is their first, second, and third choice too

2022-09-09 10:55:26 +0000 UTCI'm just saying a rule where one category can't be used twice in a row. For example If feet were done in the previous poll then they cannot be done in the current poll. But the poll after that would be free for it. If you set it up with a poll for another poll then the amount of art done decreases. Just a rule where the same category can't be done twice in a row.

2022-09-09 08:39:39 +0000 UTCI have to agree with dmandog056 about that one category being dominant most of the time. Perhaps you could set a category for the first poll to be a certain category or character then have the second poll be suggested like normal.

2022-09-09 01:10:18 +0000 UTCTo counter Tiny 65, I say give a category for a specific month or at least the one category cannot be used twice in a row. To have a poll for one character and then do second poll for the character would take too much time. Simply say one category is excluded, feet win ALL THE TIME. There is so much feet winning over and over that others are left out like me who want pussy and body colonizing. It would repeat the cycle for a competition between characters and therefore decrease output.

2022-09-09 00:05:49 +0000 UTCHmm... the other option I see is a random selection of a suggestion. Maybe one suggestion gets voted on and one gets randomly selected for the month.

2022-09-08 21:44:17 +0000 UTCDon't you run two polls every month? Maybe fix one to a char if you want and keep the second more loose. But I'm also thinking about in generics - but that's just me, you've seen my twitter, I don't usually write for characters in prompts.

2022-09-08 21:27:34 +0000 UTCAdding on to hiddenwriterrr, keep things in a poll. Like right now, create a suggestion post for characters, (the following month don't include any characters from that series/game) then by the end of the month have a poll for those characters top 2 are you characters for October. Then beginning of October open a general poll like hiddenwriterr suggested for the general categories top two are the categories for the top 2 characters then you/artist/the on who suggested the character decides on the scene (top character gets wining category, 2nd place character gets 2nd place category)

2022-09-08 21:26:10 +0000 UTCThemes per month would add to limitations, but it might be the only way to go :(

2022-09-08 21:21:04 +0000 UTCSo you're saying to use our OC or a certain character of our choice and making a theme for each month? Sounds like a pretty solid idea tbh, I just wonder if the monthly theme thing would work out

2022-09-08 21:20:37 +0000 UTCThe previous two comments suggested some very good ideas

2022-09-08 21:01:18 +0000 UTCHmmm, maybe we could try doing a theme per month? (Vore, feet, giga, Micro, Spooky, Locations, Etc.)

2022-09-08 20:59:03 +0000 UTCI would generalize things to certain categories: feet, insertion, vore, and then limit them on the poll. Even farther if it's mostly giant girl vs tinies concepts. I think you may have also accidentally typecast yourselves so only some things are getting suggested (especially from similar series, like there's a lot of gacha.) Maybe open yourselves to situations that are more broad and you have the chance to make your own char? I know tat's harder to execute since the artists really just want "[reference image] doing this" for these sorts of things, but that may introduce some variety if it's not just constantly named established chars.
