How Community Voting Works
Voting helps communities increase visibility in MilSim.io rankings.
Where to Vote
You can vote from community cards in game listing pages (for example, the communities list for Arma 3, DCS, Reforger, Squad, FiveM, or Airsoft).
Each card includes a Vote button.
What Happens When You Vote
- Click Vote on a community card.
- If successful, your vote is recorded and the card confirms success.
- The vote button is locked for that community for 24 hours.
24-Hour Cooldown
After voting for a community, you cannot vote for that same community again until the cooldown expires.
During cooldown, the button shows Already voted.
Common Vote Messages
- Vote: You can cast a vote now.
- Voting...: Your vote is being submitted.
- Already voted: You are still within the 24-hour cooldown.
- Vote recorded. Thanks for supporting this community.
- We couldn't cast your vote. Please try again.
- Voting is unavailable for this community.
Good to Know
- The cooldown applies per community.
- If the system reports that you recently voted, the UI will keep the button locked until the cooldown window ends.
