How Does It Work?

It’s actually quite simple. Depending on how active you have been on the website (number of stories read, comments posted, votes…), you are granted from one to five votes, which you can attribute to each and every competing text. When voting for a work, you can select the number of votes you wish to give it depending on how much you liked it.

It allows you to:

• vote for every work you like;
• boost your favorite works by awarding them more votes;
• support a wide range of works while being able to weigh your votes based on your preferences;
• give a maximum amount of points to your very favorite stories.

Remember, any vote towards a work means you want to show your support for it. Even if you have several votes available, awarding only one vote does not mean that you are giving the competing text a bad score. Each vote is irrevocable, so if you did not like what you have just read, simply do not give it any vote.

Our intent behind granting active readers more votes is to give our most dedicated community members more say in the voting process.

How Can I Be Granted More Votes To Distribute?
