***READ b4 posting*** HOW TO post your thread, RTF, and C&P your OP

Not open for further replies.
While protocol is askers need to post/vote to the other ask threads at *least* every 3 days, to at *least* one ask, doing just the bare minimum means you'll lose out on votes.

S.O.P. is;

1} Post your ask, with end date, vote frequency, and sponsor/promo in the thread title, and a full link in your OP - If you MUST post a shortened link? Include the links to the sponsor/contest.

2} Go down the forum and vote/post your C&P/thread link to active asks with the thumb's up icon. NO posting your ask/link to stickied threads please.

3} Rinse and repeat 1 & 2 {daily is nice} for at *least* the duration of your ask.

REMINDER...........

PLEASE wait for new askers to show they will vote {and that their post has a thumbs up/Welcome to the forum post} before posting you voted for them, thanks

TIP - unsure if a new asker is eligible to ask for votes or votes for others? Just click on their user name to bring up their profile, and you will see their join date {they must be at SA at least 2 weeks} and what threads they have posted in, easy peasy!

SA'ers, please take note:

TIP - if you see an ask from a brand new member who probably only has ONE post {their ask} they are most likely NOT eligible for posting an ask, and if they are eligible? They will probably NOT RTF!

If they haven't been here 2 weeks, their thread will be modified and they will be banned.


See a new ask by a member you never saw in this forum before?

Please don't vote for these guys until they are vetted. ESPECIALLY if their ask is their ONLY post.

If they are eligible to ask?

I'll post the "Welcome to the vote forum" post and when they show they DO vote, then I'll change it to a thumbs up.

If they have a ? it means they haven't yet voted so you might want to wait for them to vote & post so as not to waste your time.

Reminder..........

Reminder;

The SA forum rules are simple - much easier than the rules for the contest you entered that you want us to vote for you on are!

You MUST RTF {vote} or your thread will be locked.

Please RTF at LEAST as often as you ask from others; if yours is a daily, RTF daily, and if yours is a 1x, RTF at least every 3 days.

Only vote for the threads that have a thumbs up. The more you vote for others, the more they will RTF!

You MUST POST you RTF'ed - post to their threads, not just your own if you want those of us who don't ask for votes to vote for you & to keep your thread open, ty.

ALSO - they would like to know who is voting for them in their own thread too!

If you don't RTF, or post to let us know why you won't be able to vote {trip, etc.} then your thread will be locked

If you want to build goodwill AND keep your thread from being locked? Vote for the active asks {the ones that will RTF have a thumbs up} right after you post your ask - to their threads.

So just focus on the open ask threads that have a thumbs up, and post to them, then those SA'ers will RTF and bump your thread in return, and you won't waste your time voting for someone who doesn't RTF.

Sick? On vacation? We do have a contingency plan:

amyshulk said:
Reminder - if you have an ask but life intrudes so you won't be able to RTF daily/every 3 days?

If you will be unable to RTF at least once every 3 days, due to no computer access/vacation/etc., just post why to your ask thread & I won't have to lock it.

The vote/referral ask rules

Vote for and post to the active asks in this forum {the members who do RTF will have a thumbs up} including your ask in your post.
Make sure you RTF at least as often as you ask others to vote for you, but you'll create more goodwill and won't risk having your thread locked if you try to RTF daily.


In a nutshell:

You MUST be a member for at least 2 weeks to ask. You may vote and give a heads up that you will have an ask when your 2 weeks have passed, but NO links allowed.

You've been a member more than 2 weeks?

Post only to active {unstickied} asks in this {Referral and Vote Requests} forum or risk a BAN.
You may also include your link in your signature if you are a PLUS member.
ONE thread per ask
NO posting your ask in other forums, via pm's, or posting to comments allowed.
RTF at least as often as you ask others to vote for you.

{RTF = Return The Favor}



Post your ask thread - include the name of the contest/sponsor, end date, how often we can vote, and a direct link. NO shortened links please. If you MUST post a shortened link? Include the links to the sponsor/contest.

So your title will look like this:

DATE: *{month}/{day}* VOTE FREQUENCY: 1x, 1x per IP, Daily, Daily {24 hr} etc. SPONSOR/CONTEST TITLE: {sponsor}.com/SA title, etc.

EXAMPLE: *5/31* (midnight) 1x like Nat Photo Month
