Criteria for Voting |
|
|
By voting "money" for a
particular file (program), you are highlighting that program for other
people to take notice of. You are also encouraging the author to maintain
and improve that program. | |
|
|
We hope you will vote for
programs, include files, and other files that you have found to be useful,
well-documented, educational and of high quality. If you use an include
file donated by someone else in one of your programs, we hope you will
donate some money for that include file. | |
|
|
With each new calendar month you
can vote $3.00 again, as you like. You can vote for the same
program (file) again, or include some new ones, but we ask that you
not vote for the same program more than 3 months in a row without
a break.
| |
|
|
If we see obvious cases where 2
people are voting the max for each other every month we will disallow
it. | |
|
|
Your vote will be anonymous.
Only you and RDS will know how you voted. RDS will not modify your vote
in any way. | |
|
|
RDS itself will not vote money
towards any program, and you should not vote any money towards a program
contributed by RDS. | |

Some Rules |
|
|
all qualified users are
encouraged to vote $3.00 each month. For your convenience, you can submit
this form right now, or simply send us
e-mail at your convenience. | |
|
|
any file on the Recent User
Contributions or Archive pages is eligible for donations. |
|
|
|
if you don't vote your $3.00
during a given calendar month, you lose it. You can't accumulate it over
several months and then vote it all at once. | |
|
|
you are encouraged to divide up
your $3.00 as you see fit. Donate it all for one program, or divide it up
amongst several, but please don't pick more than 5 different programs at
one time. example:
For the month of June I vote:
-
- - xxxx by author y: 1.80
- - zzzz by author p: 0.75
- - wwww by author p: 0.45
| |
|
include your full name and
approximate geographical location (city). | |
