Hi and welcome! This is a retired account—feel free to scroll through, but be aware I no longe roost or accept submissions.
I am also @youhavebeentothiscity for commentary and other content.
How are cities chosen?
Almost all polls come from submissions! I don’t mind duplicate submissions, but if you’re curious, the list of posted/queued/submitted cities is here. No limit to how many you can submit. Please be aware that the queue is very long, so it may be months before I reach your submission.
Please read the instructions to help make my job easier. Thank you for your contributions!
Please enter only the city and country names in the short answer spaces, and please use English names. These guidelines help me keep submiss
I mostly post in order of submission, but I try to maintain a mix of continents and countries, so some cities may jump far ahead in the queue, or be held back if I’ve had too many in a row. I also reserve the right to let certain cities jump the queue when doing so benefits the blog organization.
I sometimes supplement submissions with other cities, particularly on theme days.
What counts as a city?
I’m not paying any mind to city/town/village descriptors. If something is very small (and I mean very, very small) I might deprioritize it in favor of ones that more people have heard of, but as long as I can find a Wikipedia page I won’t disqualify it.
How do you tag?
#city poll for each regularly formatted poll, plus the name of the city, country, and continent
#not a city poll for any other polls (ex. #demographics)
#not a poll for everything else
#asked and answered for asks
#submission guidelines for what you can submit and any clarification on how to submit
#voting guidelines for advice (not rules) on how to vote in ambiguous cases
#submission stats and #voting stats for any insights or charts
#chatty for asks and other posts that are just conversational, not informational
#theme announcement for posts kicking off theme days, plus the tag for that theme
If you have questions, suggestions, or just thoughts to share feel free to send an ask!
