It’s time to vote!
Alrighty, now: time to vote on the challenge grid. This is a quick tutorial on how yeah write voting works:
Everybody gets five votes
Depending on your browser, there will be a yellow star above or below each thumbnail. Click on the thumbnail to read the post before voting, click on the yellow star to vote for the post after reading.
Read the posts before voting
C’mon, no just clicking the stars willy nilly. Don’t throw your critical reading skills out the window just because it’s open voting. Read, evaluate, vote on merit. We’re still writing the yeah write way.
Voting closes Thursday, 9 p.m. EST
After each yellow star click, the page will refresh, and you’ll have to make your way back down to the grid to click another yellow star, and so it will go five times.
If it’s after 9 p.m. EST [-5 GMT] on Thursday when you’re trying to vote, voting is closed. There will be no more yellow stars and voting will not work.
Once you’ve voted for your five favorite posts, you’re done voting and the yellow stars will disappear. You are then free to campaign for votes for your favorite entries. When you ask your people to vote for your entry, please let them know they have five votes, and they should vote for yours only if it’s one of the five best on the grid. Yeah write is a writing challenge, not a contest to find out how many people love clicking on shiz just because you asked.
Sometimes the voting program can be glitchy. If you’re voting, but the stars don’t disappear, don’t worry: your votes are registering.
You can vote only once per IP address.
Voting for your own post should be disabled. If your housemates absolutely must vote for you to ensure your moral victory, they will need to vote from a different IP address. But seriously, people, relax. Let the voting do what it do.
