We've had some recent concerns about what kind of contests or promotions our members are allowed to post and ask for votes in return. Yes we are a "Vote Exchange" but that really does encompass a wide field. Say I want likes for my FB page and YOU want votes for a contest. I vote for you and in exchange you like my FB page. Or say I have an article or item listed for sale and I want the word spread. I vote for you and you share my item listing to your family and friends, say via a share on your FB wall, or a tweet. these are things we currently allow as long as there is no cheating, bribes, or cost involved. Below is a list of topics we allow and do not allow. Please read carefully and make sure you add to your header whatever you do not wish to be responsible for returning favour for.
