Battle Policy
Who doesn't like a friendly battle? This board is for 1 on 1 battles in graphics and themes. The initial poster can either A) Call some one out to battle, or B) Set up a 1vs1 battle and see if anyone wants to battle you. This is for fun, bragging rights and possibly some cool prizes later to come. If interested in battling someone, please review the rules and guidelines below before starting or accepting a battle.

Rules & Guidelines

• The person requesting the battle should title their thread appropriately. If you want to battle some one specific, call them out with a title such as "Calling Out username." If you want an open battle, title your thread "your username vs. ." In an open battle someone responds saying that they will battle you and you either accept or decline.
• The person requesting the battle will set up the guidelines for the battle. Be specific. Let the people know what kind of graphic you will be making, what the theme is etc. If you are doing a theme battle, make sure to specify what type of theme ie: proboards, wordpress, website, etc. For graphics specify the size of the graphic, what you will and won't allow etc. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to post a battle.
• Once a battle has been accepted, Change the topic FILTER to In Progress, this way members and staff will know that the battle has been accepted and that entries are on their way.
• Once both entries for a battle are received, the original thread creator must create a poll with the images of both entrants, this applies to graphics. If it's a theme design, then the original thread creator must create a poll with the URL to both entries. DO NOT create a new thread, simply edit your original post to include the poll. Make sure all polls are set to 5 days. Polls should run no longer than 5 days. At the end of 5 days, the winner is chosen.
• Once the poll is added, change the topic FILTER to Voting as this will let members and staff know that they can vote for their favorite choice.
• When voting for an entry, you must select a poll option for your vote to count AND You must respond to the thread with your vote choice and give a reason or two as to why you chose the option that you did.
• Keep in mind that if you want people to vote in your thread, it's common courtesy to vote in other people's threads.
• You cannot vote for your own entry. If caught voting for your own entry, you will automatically be disqualified. If this becomes and ongoing problem you will be banned from participating in battles permanently.
• All entrants will be added to the leader boards. You will have your wins, losses, and possibly ties calculated. The person with the most battles won at the end of a month will receive a custom title and username color. The color will last for one month. There may be other prizes to come in the future.
