(Post count/time restrictions are still in place- the package will be free)
How Battles Work:
- Go to Site Battles and choose a website that you'd like to battle. If you cannot find a site that you want to battle, start a battle of your own using the [Looking To Battle] prefix. Be sure to completely fill out the template provided when starting a new battle.
- If you have found a site that you want to battle, respond to the battle with a link to your site. Your request will either be approved or denied by the battle starter, and it is completely at their discretion. Additionally, if you have started a battle of your own, you should expect the same. People will submit their site for battle and you may accept or deny their request.
- If a member has accepted your request, or you have accepted someone's request, change your thread prefix to [Poll Needed] and a Community Team Member will set up a poll for your battle. If a Community Team Member has not set up a poll within 24 hours of the acceptance of battle, feel free to tag one of them in your battle thread by using the @ sign, followed by their username. This will send them a notification to alert them to create your poll.
- From the time a Community Team Member sets up the poll, members will have ten (7) days to vote for the site that they like best. At the end of the 7 days, the poll will close and the site with the most votes wins the battle.
Prizes:
- The winner in a two-way battle will receive 25 FP$ and have their winning site added to the Site Battle Leaderboard. You also will get a badge that displays in various places showing the number of battles you have won (the badge reflects all your site wins).
- First Place in a three-way battle will receive 25 FP$ and have their winning site added to the Site Battle Leaderboard. You also will get a badge that displays in various places showing the number of battles you have won (the badge reflects all your site wins).
- Second Place in a three-way battle will receive 10 FP$.
- All prizes will be distributed by the CTM who closes the battle at the time of closure.
- NEW At the end of the year, the battles begun in 2024 will finish and the site with the most wins will receive $50 USD as well as a 1-month advertising spot. The 2nd site with the most wins will receive $25 USD and the 3rd site with the most wins will receive $25 USD. In the event of a tie, staff will take a private vote to determine the winners. The top winning site will be listed in the Website Battles forum description, which will be updated regularly.
- NEW After every 20 wins (site wins, not member wins), the site owner/admin will not be charged for their next Posting Package, and the code SITEBATTLE20 must be included in the request. They will need to follow the Package guidelines when making the request (posts and time requirements).
General Rules:
- Topic Inactivity - If the original poster in a battle request does not reply to an offer for three (3) days, the battle will be rejected, and the original poster will have to request again. The battle request thread will stay open for two (2) weeks to wait for a challenger before it is closed and archived.
- Only Staff Can Battle - You must be a current staff member of the site you are entering into battle.
- No Paying Or Incentives For Voting - Owners, staff, and members of sites engaging in battles may not offer free services, forum currency, real currency, or any other "bribe" to their community members in lieu of having them vote in a Site Battle here on FP. Anyone found doing so will be banned from participating in Site Battles indefinitely and have all their previous wins removed from the leaderboard.
- Voting Eligibility - In order to be eligible to vote in Forum Promotion Site Battles, you must have a minimum post count and be actively posting throughout the community. In order to prevent abuse and maintain fairness, FP will not be disclosing the specific post count and activity requirement.
- Members Can Vote - You may ask members from your site to vote for you in a battle. However, you may not create multiple accounts in order to vote for yourself. Anyone found doing so will be banned from participating in Site Battles indefinitely and have all their previous wins removed from the leaderboard.
- NEW Multiple Battles - A site can be in as many battles as you want, but the site may only have 3 threads using the Looking To Battle prefix at a time.
- Multi-Site Battles - No more than three (3) sites are allowed to participate in a single battle.
- Voting - Voters are not required to say who they voted for. Additionally, they are not required to give a reason as to why they voted for a particular site. All votes within the site battle will now be private, meaning no one will be able to view who voted for who in a particular battle, ensuring even more of a fair battle between sites.
- Accepting Battles - Battle Starters do not need to accept any site and do not need to give a reason for rejection.
- Tie Breaking - In the event of a tie, 3 staff members will vote privately and the site with the most votes between the 3 staff members will be deemed the winner.
