During [[Canvas 93]], the [[Pxls Staff]] held two polls in the ''#polls'' channel of the pxls.space Discord server to decide the gimmick of [[Canvas 93a]]. The first poll from the 20th to 21st of September, 2025 decided the palette of the canvas. The poll concluded with a parchment/brown palette winning, receiving the most votes among 13 community-suggested concepts. The second poll from the 21st to 22nd of September decided if [[-snip- mode]] would be used for the canvas with 56.25% of voters opposing the gimmick.

==Palette poll==
On the 4th of September, 13 days into [[Canvas 93]], Pxls administrator, [[Zephyr]] opened a thread in the ''#pxls'' channel of the pxls.space discord server called ''Gimmick Pallette [sic] Suggestions'' (later renamed to Gimmick Palette Suggestions). The thread allowed users to suggest palettes for the next gimmick canvas until the poll opened on the 20th of September.

The poll was posted in the ''#polls'' channel of the pxls.space Discord server at 14:14 UTC and lasted 24 hours. Voters were able to select multiple palette options. It concluded with a parchment/brown themed palette, suggested by [[IronHebo]] winning with 43.12% of the voters voting for the palette.

A parchment/brown themed palette won a plurality of the voters with 43.12%, 12 most unused colours was the runner-up with 38.53%, and Inverted colours came in third place with 27.52% of the total voters. In total, 109 individual voters cast 216 votes.

==[[-snip- mode]] poll==
On the 21st of September at 14:16 UTC, 2 minutes after the closure of the palette poll, another poll was posted asking whether or not [[-snip- mode]] should be enabled on [[Canvas 93a]] in the ''#polls'' channel of the pxls.space Discord server. The poll lasted for 24 hours and it concluded with 56.25% of voters opposing -snip- mode.

-snip- mode makes pixel placing and chat messages anonymous, it was last used during [[Canvas 88a]] 5 months prior to the poll. Supporters of the gimmick argued that -snip- mode allows for [[griefing]] without consequences due to large factions often keeping track of placers who grief them. Opponents of the gimmick argued that it creates chat toxicity due to anonimity, and that -snip- mode is used too frequently, creating repetitiveness in gimmick canvases.
