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.

-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 previously used during Canvas 88a 5 months prior to the poll. Supporters of the gimmick argued that -snip- mode allowed for griefing without consequences due to large factions often keeping track of placers who grief them. Opponents of the gimmick argued that the gimmick claimed that it creates chat toxicity due to anonimity, and that -snip- mode is used too frequently, creating repetitiveness in gimmick canvases.
