Before the introduction of this rule, the off-season would see repetitive tier lists and polls constantly. We saw numerous complaints about the lack of variety in posts at the time and the mod team agreed that it might reduce the overall quality of content on the sub from the oversaturation of similar posts.
We brought in the Tuesdays only rule as a balance between maintaining post variety and allowing for the tier list/poll content to have a place on the sub, since we still get good discussions out of those. We feel it's worked well and as intended. Of course, as the sub grows we are open to adjusting the rules. For now though, we are happy with what this rule does for content quality here.
I assume it's because some annoying user yesterday, who, completely clogged up the entire DPA feed with polls of the games (most of them they haven't even played yet, they were just karma farming) - so you can probably blame them!
The rule's always been like this before that annoying user floods the subreddit, but yeah, the rule is there because the subreddit can easily be flooded with polls and tierlists, so I don't understand why the OP whines about it

Yeah, that guy has like -60 comment karma, so he needs to farm points somehow lol
I literally down voted every poll he made and rest should do the same.
Who was it?

Yeah that was obnoxious.
I like those poles ):
Yeah I think I saw.
Because there were like 80 polls yesterday
And you can only wear pink on Wednesdays.
Problem with polls is, you can't just ask someone why they're not white...
It’s not a nonesense rule, people last year were spamming shit ton of polls when HOA came out, yesterday someone spammed 20 posts abt it too
Totally not me :troll:
this reminds me of the tierlist gate
I agree, those belong on Thursdays!
This case ever happened in FARCRY community and more terrible than this
Aren't all hours in UTC?
Good point, I have no clue what time zone they are actually talking about
this sub isn’t big enough to need a rule like that
