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.

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.

-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.
