Hi, I know this probably has already been asked hundreds of times, but why am I unable to vote on polls in the forums? More specificly, I've been trying to vote for the new submissions, but there doesn't seem to be any buttons for me to click to get my vote in. The FAQ really doesn't give a precise explanation as to why this happens. Thanks in advance for the answer.

Previously, the workbench OPs had a red text saying "Due to the abuse that happened, lurkers can't vote anymore". Dunno where it's gone.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

I was assuming that the requirement was to have a published TAS, but I guess I was wrong, now that I still can't vote even with my recent TAS being done. Thanks guys for the answers.

Yeah, the requirement to vote is to have a certain amount of posts. I don't recall the exact number of posts required, but it's something between 3 and 5 or so.

It was removed when the poll question was changed when the tier system was introduced. I don't think there was a specific reason for it, it just was not added to the new poll question.
