Newb question.

:wave: riicearonii - You MAY post when you vote that you WILL be posting an ask when your 2 weeks are up - then we'll gladly vote for you when you ask!

In the meantime, have you read this thread:

UPDATED 2/14: Have an ask??? DO's and DON'Ts of voting etiquette
ATTENTION - if you post an ask {votes, referrals, facebook friends, or similar requests} prior to being a member for 2 weeks, you WILL be banned for the remainder.

That means 2 weeks if you just joined today. If you joined and waited 5 days? You will be banned for 9 days.

We've had to resort to banning *everyone* who breaks this simple rule because we moderators have had to play catch up, while waiting for new members to stop posting their ask long enough to read the rules.

Please take that time to familiarize yourself with the simple rules, thanks.

specifically the DO's & DONT'S?

Asking for votes is a privelege SA extends to it's members. With that in mind, please read and heed:

DO'S:

1} DO put the end date, how often we can vote, and a contest identifier in your title. See this thread for tips:
Voting Tips http://www.sweepstakesplus.com/smf/voting-tips-t25218.0.html
2} DO include the SA listing in your post. If you can't find it, at least tell us the name of the contest.
3} DO try to RTF daily, even if your ask is a 1x.
4} DO include your vote# {if available} when you vote.
5} DO C&P your ask when you post you voted.
{*see below: *Quote your OP {Original Post} from YOUR thread. }
6} DO pay attention to those who RTF and those who don't. If someone has only 1 post, it's likely they aren't eligible to even ask.
If they are eligible? It's very likely they are "hit and run" type, posting here and never returning to ever RTF.
7} DO post you RTF'd to their thread, not just your own. I personally don't enter "vote for me" contests, but I DO vote daily. I {and some others} will only vote for you if you RTF to threads other than JUST your own.
8} DO be aware that if you post at SA, you will be expected to RTF at SA.
9} DO post you will be asking when your 2 weeks are up when you vote, but do NOT include any info like the title or link.

*Quote your OP {Original Post} from YOUR thread.

HOW TO:

Just go to YOUR thread and click on QUOTE. Right click and click on SELECT ALL and then COPY.
Now go to and open the thread where you are voting and hit REPLY
Right click {with your cursor in the reply box} and click on PASTE. You can add any info {ie: I VOTED, I was vote #5, etc} above or below what you just C&P'ed.
Now your ask is posted, which provides the voting link and if they click on it, will take them to YOUR thread, where they can easily RTF! :headbang:
That way people won't have to try to find your thread - or which thread you mean if you have multiple asks - and then they'll post they RTF'ed to your thread and bump you up in return!

Win-Win!!! :headbang:

Asking for votes is a privelege SA extends to it's members. With that in mind, please read and heed:

If you ignore these rules, your thread/post/comment will be modified and/or deleted and locked and you will be banned.

DON'TS:

1} Do NOT ask before your 2 weeks membership at SA has elapsed.
2} Do NOT ask SA'ers to vote for you before checking to see if your contest is/was listed.
{*see below: Before you ask for votes - is/was it listed at SA? }
3} Do NOT post you RTF'd unless you really did vote.
4} Do NOT post your ask anywhere but in this forum: Referral and Vote Requests
5} Do NOT post your ask in Comments/via PM's/to any stickied threads.
6} Do NOT post a hyperlink unless it's the only way to provide a direct link to your vote page - you need to post the regular link too.
7} Do NOT post an ask and then not expect to have to RTF - you need to vote at LEAST as often as you are asking others to vote for you.


^^^If you post an ask, but you don't RTF, 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.

ALSO: NO asking for money/donations - SA is a sweepstakes site, and therefore NOT an appropriate venue for requesting donations. There are sites where it is appropriate, please try one of them.


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