I'm not sure where you're coming from, where soliciting for votes/likes/whatever is NOT frowned upon. Only community I can come up with is producthunt, where it used to be frowned upon but doesn't seem to be anymore.

Edit: also, missing to read the rules of community before participating doesn't seem like a honest mistake. vjeux been around for a long time and I'm sure knows how to navigate the different communities. Also since the whole "no vote rings please" thing is mentioned in 3 or more places on news.ycombinator.com.
