If you do not have a VKVE linked banner on your website you will not be allowed
to participate. It is required that you have a banner on each site you participate with.
Voting:
Monday through Thursday are mandatory voting days,
in order to be considered an active member with the VE Board. Voting Friday, weekends
and holidays are optional.
Therefore, when making note on the Voting Pages (Comps and Topsites) as to whether you voted or not, I will only record voting from Monday thru Thursday.
In the event that you cannot or did not vote, you
MUST
notify me as to why.
You may do so by filling in the
"Cannot Vote Notification" area on
the Update Form.
If you experience a problem with the form you may email me directly.
If you do not vote and have not informed me that you could not vote for a certain day, you will have a "Did Not Vote" icon listed above your website title for that day. That means
that the other members do not have to vote for you the following day.
If this continues for two (2) days your links will be removed until you contact
me. If you do not vote a minimum of four (4) days in a given week, and haven't
contacted me as to why, you will be given a warning. If this continues the
following week you will be removed from the VE Board.
If at any time you have been found to be lying about voting you will not be
given a second chance. Your membership will be suspended immediately, and you will be banned from the VE Board as lying will not be tolerated.
Forum:
When
you finish voting you must sign the Forum
saying that you have voted for that day, or you won't be credited for voting.
You must also indicate if you have voted "Comps, Topsites or Both". You do not
have to sign the board separately for each.
Hidden Pages:
We do have "Hidden Pages". Those pages will change from day to day. If you do not find any of
the "Hidden Pages" or only half of them during the course of a voting week, you
will then be given a "Warning". Should it continue through to the following week you will be
removed from the VE Board.
It is very important that those "Hidden Pages" be found. Occasionally one
may miss it for some reason
or another, but that should rarely happen. By not finding the "Hidden
Pages" it appears that you didn't actually vote, otherwise the "Hidden Page"
would have been found.
Weekly Loyal Voter Awards:
If you vote Monday thru Thursday and find all of the "Hidden Pages" you will
qualify for Weekly Loyal Voter Award.
Monthly
Loyal Voter Awards:
In order to qualify for this award you
must vote Monday thru Thursday of each week and find all of the "Hidden Pages"
for the entire month. At the end of the month you will then receive an award
with your name on it.
Please note that if you take an LOA during the month you will
not qualify for the Monthly Award.
Updates:
All Update Forms
must be received no later than 5:00pm EST Sunday evening. You must use
the
"Update
Form". Emails will not be accepted. Only under
certain circumstances will an email be accepted, and that would mainly be if the
form isn't working.
If you do not update your voting links, and have not contacted me you will be
given a "Warning". If this continues the second week you shall be removed from the VE Board.
When sending in your links, please double check them to make sure they are
correct and that they go to the right Voting Page, whether it be comps or
topsites.
Some Web Competitions close the last week of the month, so make sure that your Web Competition is open before submitting your Update Form.
If I find something doesn't work it will be removed. Your
links are your responsibility!
Leave Of Absence:
If you need an LOA you
MUST email me to let me know. You may do so by filling in the
"Requesting
Leave Of Absence" on the Update
Form.
If for some reason you experience a problem with the form you may email me
directly.
All LOA Requests must be received no later than 5:00pm EST Sunday evening.
LOA . . . . 1 Week Only
If you are in need of an LOA due to medical issues, personal and/or family
issues, or computer
problems, you may request an LOA, however, you must furnish a return date
when making your request.
Please note that when your given a one (1) week LOA, that doesn't mean you can
take it for two (2) or three (3) weeks.
ELOA . . . . 2 Weeks Only
ELOA's will only be granted due to certain circumstances involving emergency
medical issues, personal and/or family issues, or computer problems. A return date must be furnished at the time of your
request.
Additional time may be granted due to the individuals circumstances, however a
return date is required.
If you however are unable to furnish a return date, it will then be necessary
that you leave the VE Board. You may reapply for membership when you are
able to participate on a regular basis.
Please note that inactive members are not carried for undetermined amounts of
time.
Communication:
When I send you an email asking a question it is imperative that I get a
response. The email was sent to you for a good reason and the lack of responding
shows lack of interest in the VE Board. Not only that, but it's only common courteousy to reply.
Lack of
communication with VKVE Management may lead to termination of your membership.
Warnings:
You will receive a "Warning" if you break any of the rules. If the rules
continue to be broken the following week you will be removed from the VE Board.
If you receive a "Warning" and then go on LOA, that warning shall remain in
effect until you return. Upon returning it will then carry over into the next week to see if the problem
continues.
Once removed from the VE Board you will have to wait two (2) weeks before you
may reapply to rejoin. If approved to rejoin, please know that you are here only on a trial basis.
Should circumstances arise where you are removed again, you will not be allowed back.
Salem's Topsite List:
It's not mandatory, but we would love for you to join our Topsite List.
Personalized graphic awards will be given to the top three winners at the end of
the month. The topsite will then be reset to "0" to start a new month.
Also, unlike many other topsites, we do give a Weekly Award. One site is
chosen at random each week for this award.
Please abide by
the rules of your Web Competitions. Particularly concerning the use of VE
Boards.
In an attempt to
make voting at VKVE as effortless as possible,
we
do not allow voting links to a members personal website pages.
Only direct links to a Web Competition are permitted. This enables our
members to vote quickly and efficiently without having to scan personal website
pages looking for particular voting banners. Most of our members find
searching for links to be time consuming and quite annoying.
The following Web Competitions are presently known to have the
"No Direct Link Policy"
in effect,
thus voting links will not
be accepted
for them:
Little Dragon
Castle
Lastly, when you're ready to leave the board, please let me know.
You may do so by filling in the
"Request To Terminate
Membership" on the Update Form
.
If for some reason you experience a problem with the form you may email me directly.
