I assumed the way the enforcement would work is that if we see someone supporting voting Biden after posting in this thread we report them. That way the mods don't have to keep track of anything

A regular toxx involves betting on something outside your control. Thus it’s funny if you lose because you played yourself. toxxing on just not doing a thing, while funny because biden sucks, is an inherently low-stakes thing to do.

thus, toxxing in this thread and then going on to support biden anyway is just a coward’s self-ban. if you want to do that, then just self-ban.

there’s also the reality that mass toxxes tend to cost the site a lot of users. so we’ve been toying with the idea of moving away from election toxx = ban into things that don’t cost users, such as humiliating avatars.

so with that said if you somehow manage to fail this toxx you have only yourself to blame and I am now taking submissions for awful biden themed avatars to give to failures itt*

*please do not submit overtly sexual or unnecessarily violent images for this, as I cannot make them an avatar.

If write-ins become relevant (receive enough votes that they might be the winner if they were all for the same candidate) the board of elections goes through each of them to try to figure out who they're voting for.

Some candidate recently named Nick Freitas won a write-in campaign:

quote:

“If the intent of the voter is discernible or the name is phonetically recognizable, the vote has to count,” Holmes repeated numerous times as Richmond read each voting line aloud.

The vote validation process lasted about 50 minutes and included at least several dozen spelling variations of Freitas’ name, with minor misspellings easily approved. “Nick Freit,” as written by 20 Culpeper voters, was the first to pose a problem for the board: “That’s pretty far off. If you want to count it, you can,” Chairwoman Huss said.

“I see that and it’s 20 votes,” responded Holmes with Huss replying, “Why would it be 20 people spelled it that way?” Richmond, the secretary, chimed in saying it’s possibly the voting machine camera cut the name off. Holmes said, “We have no choice but to accept it,” and the votes counted. Nick Fritas (18 votes) was also determined valid and so was Nick Fretas on 17 ballots.

The electoral board also accepted Nick Feitas, Nick Freitos, Freits and Nick Frietes. Commented Huss, “I don’t know how they could screw up his name that much.”

So yeah you'd be fine

(this is my first post in the thread, but I live in NY so if Biden wins my vote for him or write-in for Bernie won't matter)
