(edit: we dont mind if you upvote this, but comments are preferred -rem)
If someone tells you not to upvote, don't upvote.
If someone tells you not to comment, especially if you're part of a specific group, don't comment.
If someone says this button in their poll is for them only, don't press it.
It's really not that hard.
Someone pressed our button on one of our posts and it made us very annoyed. A few people upvoted a post which said no upvoting and I'm sure it made the OP angry as well.
I'm considering consulting the other mods about giving warnings for this (although technically we can't do that for upvotes) because these are very simple instructions which, for some reason, some of you can't follow.
Now, if you press a button by accident or didn't realize it said not to upvote, simply comment that you didn't mean to press the button, or remove the upvote; that is not the main issue. It seems quite small compared to other issues we're trying to solve at the moment, and to be honest, it is. But! - and I'm talking specifically about upvotes right now - most posts which say not to upvote are rants or vents (or as I& like to call them, rents) and for the OP, it usually makes them feel like you're being insensitive to their feelings by upvoting, even if you're not.
You know who you are. Just fix the mistake. It's really not hard.
