"please vote for me" requests

If there is only one thread where we're allowed to ask people to vote for us, presumably a PM to a stranger asking for a vote is also a no-no.

If I received one... should I report, or just ignore?

Hmmmm.

    I'd just delete and ignore... don't waste any of your time on it ;) (unless you're compelled to vote for them)

    I get alot of group messages on FB asking me to vote for people (not the same I know, but still) and if the message is sent to a whole group of people, then I'm less inclined to vote, to be honest. I know people want to win but some people get so pushy with asking for votes that it makes me uncomfortable.
