Since there cannot be a difference of opinion on this subject, just well-deserved votes, I think I’ll move this to MPSIMS. 🙂

Hey wait a minute! The only reason I PUT that thread there was because TubaDiva said, in describing the forum “It’s also a place where people can have polls, run little contests, vote for what they like and dislike. You can be Prom Queen every day over there if you like (and enough folks vote you in).”

So now that this is moved to MPSIMS it has lost its meaning ☹

Hmmm.  
It’s not a poll, since others are not mentioned in your OP.  
It’s not a contest, just a reference to another contest.  
You are not asking people whether they like or dislike you; your asking them to vote for you, right?  
Perhaps a new thread, reworded,“Who Should Be Prom Queen Of The IMHO?”, would be in order? _hint_ 🙂
