#3 Then return here and post "I read and Agree to all of these rules" at the bottom of THIS post,
only then you will be permitted to open your own thread:

Once you have done this, you will be able to open your own thread in the appropriate vote exchange section.  First determine if your contest is a 1x vote only, or if users can vote daily (weekly, etc). If we can only vote one time then you would go to the vote exchange 1x only section;  If you can vote every Day (24 hours; or multiple times a day; once a week, ect.) go to the Daily Section.
IF YOU HAVE NOT POSTED HERE THAT YOU AGREED TO THE RULES, YOUR TOPIC WILL BE REMOVED.
IF YOU DO NOT RETURN VOTES OR REFUSE TO RETURN VOTES YOU WILL BE SUSPENDED


Once in the appropriate section, click on New Thread in the upper right hand corner.
(Please note: You do NOT have to open a topic to use the forum. You may VOTE and ASK for a Return Favor daily (once only for 1xs) without every opening a topic)

It will bring up a window that you can use to create your contest topic. The header must have
1 - the ending date of the contest
2- any votes you do not return ie ***I do NOT return Registrations*** If this is not in the HEADER then you will be responsible for returning the vote. It must be in the header BEFORE you receive the vote or you will still need to return it. They are time stamped as well as any edits you make so we can tell if it is added ex post facto.

Then you can enter the body of your contest, along with the link. Once you are done entering all the information, hit send.

If you accidentally post it in the wrong section, please pm a moderator or admin back to move it, instead of opening a copy. Copies will be locked as duplicates.

Please feel free to PM any admin or moderator for help or clarification.
