Votes decide your rank, and rank decides who finds you. The trick is making voting worth it for the player, and putting a reminder everywhere they already are.
Why use it
- Rewarded votes become a daily habit. Players vote, get coins in-game, and come back tomorrow to do it again.
- The badge is a funnel. Every place you paste it links straight back to your vote page, turning your own audience into rank.
- It is free and self-updating. Paste it once, it always shows your live rank, votes and online status.
How to set it up
- Open your server page and hit the Vote widget button to grab the code (HTML, BBCode, Markdown or image URL).
- Paste it on your website, forum signature and Discord.
- To reward voters, set a vote callback URL and secret in your server settings. When someone votes, TuServerMU calls your server so it can grant coins to that account.
The reward is the differenceServers with a working vote reward out-vote those without one every single time. Wire the callback in week one.
Why it is better
The callback is signed with an HMAC secret, so your server can trust that a vote really happened before handing out coins, and every vote is protected by an anti-bot check. Instead of a dumb "click here" link, you get a secure, verifiable rewarded-vote loop and a live badge that markets you 24/7.
