Wondering why your vote thread was locked?

I locked your thread so people don't waste their time posting they voted for you and asking you to return the vote when you either posted your ask and then left SA, or you don't return votes.

^^^If your thread was locked and you are ready to RTF and wish to have your thread unlocked, please pm me. Do NOT start a new thread - it will be merged with your locked thread and you will risk being banned from posting, indefinitely.

Wondering why some of us aren't voting for you?

TIP: Just posting an ask if you are new {but have been here at least 2 weeks} and especially if your only post is an ask for votes - won't get many responses/votes if you don't show you are willing to vote for them first.

So please post {after you vote for their ask} in the other threads {ie their threads} in this forum and you will get votes - you know, quid pro quo    

If you are voting for others, please post - lately we've had quite a few who come to SA only for votes, OR referrals, and who'd leave shortly after, without returning votes, so us regulars are leery of voting for people we don't "know" - it's nothing personal  

^^^If you post an ask, but don't RTF in other threads, your thread will modified after 3 days and will be locked after 4 days from your thread post date to protect the SA members who would wait in vain for an RTF.

Before you ask for votes - is/was it listed at SA?

Occasionally I'll see a winner's thread, or a vote request & if you won/are asking us to vote for you for a sweeps that is not listed at SA, please take a moment to let us know about it by posting to our Latest or New Sweepstakes forum:

OR - send me or ppriebe1 a pm with the link, thanks!!! 

Easy how to:

1} Post your thread, noting the end date and how often we can vote: *12/28* daily

FYI: It's preferred that you post different threads for different asks.

2} Go to the other threads in this forum, then vote for them - post you voted and any info you can: I voted,  3874, etc. You only need to post this once {for a 1x ask} or daily {for a daily ask}.

{With a lot of the voting contests, after you vote, it will tell you what the vote tally is, or say something like "vote recorded 04-14-2007, 2:53pm".  If you can, copy this line into your "I voted" post to verify that you really did vote.}

3} If you post a 1x ask, at *least* vote 1x for the other asks. If you post a daily, you will be expected to RTF for the other daily asks.

If everyone who posts an ask votes for their fellow SA vote askers, there will be no need to bump your own thread, since the others will bump when they vote! If you have a 1x ask, you are allowed to bump your thread 1x a day, to see if there is anyone who hasn't voted for you yet.

See? Easy!
