Slight Changes to Exclusive Polls

As I'm preparing the first poll for March, I've come to realize a few things that could probably use a little tweak

First, I don't think we've ever had a majority vote for anything outside of "fat" for the body type poll. Given fat stuff is my primary interest anyway, I'm going to do away with that entirely as it's basically not useful here. I may occasionally introduce some musclegut elements to some pics on my own if the rest of the prompt lends itself to it, but as it stands, it feels a bit unhelpful to keep that option in when "fat" is my main niche anyway.

Second, the ratings rarely seem to go anywhere except NSFW. Similarly to the first point, it feels like most people just want lewd stuff more often than not, and for those who don't, it can lead to long stretches without anything that isn't explicit. Instead, much like the previous solution with the body types, I'm going to remove this section as well. I already know what most people want anyway, so it's just more clutter at this point. Plus, there may be some times where a pic simply would be better without having to worry about a specific rating, and it's easier to make that judgement on my own when needed.

Third, the size options I have feel too specific. Namely, when I give concrete sizes like "building-size" and "landmass-scale", if we have, say, a macro piece, suddenly "building-size" is a lot smaller, and "landmass-scale" may merely be a slight blob. Instead, I'm going to try to do categories that are more relative sizes that will be more helpful when other modifiers and character sizes come into play, ex. "still mobile", "barely mobile", "immobile", "mostly fat", "all-consuming size". These will still hold true even in a macro setting. Additionally, this gives me some wiggle room to make sure I don't continuously put out the exact same things if the same size gets picked over and over again. Variety is important, and I don't want to wear out any one particular size.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on these changes, especially once I get the poll up later so we can see them in action!
