AniDB offers 3 different sets of voting levels:
:*<b>10 levels</b> <i>- default -</i><tt> 1,2,3,[...],10</tt>
:*<b>19 levels</b> <i>- can be activated in your [[Profile]] -</i><tt> 1,1.5,2,2.5,3[...],10</tt>
:*<b>90 levels</b> <i>- there are no buttons to use those and the way to cast the votes is a bit hacky - </i> <tt>1,1.01,1.02,1.03[...],10</tt>


{{eyecatch|Note:|Even though there are 3 sets of voting levels they all still count to the same voting for the anime. Meaning there <b>aren't</b> 2 or 3 different votes for the anime!}}
You should take a look at the [[Votes|vote guideline]] before voting. There you will see what levels there are and how to use them correctly.


==Voting==
In order to vote for an anime you will have to be logged in. After that you should go to the anime page and then you will see an option to vote for the anime in the "My Data" tab. If you have seen an anime completely you should use the '''permanent vote''' option if it is available; otherwise you should use the '''[[Votes:Animes-Temporary|temporary vote]]''' option.


===How to use the 90 level voting system===
You can change your vote at any time by clicking on the "revoke" link in the details of the anime, or on the "revoke" link in your [[MyVotes]].
This is a bit tricky as there aren't buttons for this and most likely never will be. [[User:Exp|Exp]] never wanted to increase the votinglevels to 90 levels in the first place. Though the db software doesn't care and accepts the votes anyway so you may use it, if you want to.


Copy the following link to the url field of your browser:<br>
If you perm vote for an anime, any temporary vote you have cast will be lost.
<tt>http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=357&votea.rate=100&votea.ratenow=vote</tt><br>
You have to adjust the [[ID:aid|aid]] for the anime you want to vote on and the vote (the number behind <b>votea.rate</b>). It can be any straight number between 100 and 1000.


==Voting levels==
==Why can't I vote permanently?!==
Eitherway what set you decide to use, there are in the end still 10 mainlevels. To make a proper vote there are 3 easy rules you should follow:<br>
AniDB allows permanent voting only for anime that have been aired/released completely. To determine if an anime has been  aired/released completely, the Finished Airing/Release Date of the anime entry is compared to the current date.
:* First, try to use 3, 5, 7 and 9 in the beginning; the most used one is 7.<br>
:* Second, the use of 1, 2 and 10 is very rare.<br>
:* Third, don't think of 10 as perfect and 1 as worst possible since those do not exist. Basically 0 and 11 represent those values and as those don't exist you can't vote for them.
<div span style="background: #6fc279; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
'''10 - Sugoi'''<br>
This anime is something really big; it changed your mind, gave you a whole new perspective on life and broadened your horizons. If this sounds unfamiliar to you then you have yet to watch a truly sugoi anime.<br>
<u>This grade is reserved only for the animes you'll never ever forget.</u>


'''9 - Great'''<br>
Permanent voting is possible only if the Finished Airing/Release Date is added AND lies in the past.<br>
This anime is absolutely great, you were very impressed by it. Everyone should watch it, not only anime fans because everyone will enjoy it as this is the kind of anime that creates anime fans. Everything in the anime is on a very high level. Use this for only the best animes you've watched.</div>
So, if you are unable to vote permanently it is likely that nobody has added the Finished Airing/Release Date for this anime yet.
<div span style="padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
'''8 - Very good'''<br>
This anime is better than good, there are a few moments you were very impressed by it and every anime fan should watch it. However, it is still not great as it still has a few points to improve.
 
'''7 - Good'''<br>
This anime is good, the animation and sound is quite good and it has an original story and different characters as well. You can recommend it to the average anime fan; use this for animes you like.
 
'''6 - Fine'''<br>
This anime is better than decent but still not good, there are a few moments you enjoy although you can't really recommend it to others.
 
'''5 - Decent'''<br>
This anime is neither good nor bad. People can watch it whenever they are bored or when they've run out of other anime to watch.
 
'''4 - Bad'''<br>
This anime is just plain bad. It has nothing to recommend, it is just plain boring. While there are worse animes it's still too bad to recommend to others.


'''3 - Very Bad'''<br>
To vote you have to look on the internet for the correct Finished Airing/Release Date of this anime and then file a [[creq]] by clicking the "request edit" link at the bottom of the anime page.
This is a very bad anime although still anime. There's nothing appealing about it. You cannot recommend it to anyone, not even die hard anime fans of this specific genre. If you think an anime is one of the worst ever vote a 3.</div>
<div span style="background: #bf6269; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
'''2 - Hopeless'''<br>
You cannot say anything good at all about this one. Animation, sound, story, everything was really bad.<br>
<u>This grade is reserved only for the very bad cartoons. There is probably nothing as bad as this in AniDB. Use this only if you're absolutely certain.</u>


'''1 - Unwatchable'''<br>
If you don't know where to find the Finished Airing/Release Date, these [[Where to find release-dates for Anime|pages]] can help you.
You were not even able to watch it; it was probably the worst thing you have ever watched.<br>
<u>This grade is reserved only for the worst cartoons. There is probably nothing as bad as this in AniDB. Use this only if you are absolutely certain.</u> If you are just trying to vote so that this anime does not show up for things like the [[Anime Hint]] then add it to your [[blacklist]] instead of voting 1.</div>

You should take a look at the vote guideline before voting. There you will see what levels there are and how to use them correctly.

Voting

In order to vote for an anime you will have to be logged in. After that you should go to the anime page and then you will see an option to vote for the anime in the "My Data" tab. If you have seen an anime completely you should use the permanent vote option if it is available; otherwise you should use the temporary vote option.

You can change your vote at any time by clicking on the "revoke" link in the details of the anime, or on the "revoke" link in your MyVotes.

If you perm vote for an anime, any temporary vote you have cast will be lost.

Why can't I vote permanently?!

AniDB allows permanent voting only for anime that have been aired/released completely. To determine if an anime has been aired/released completely, the Finished Airing/Release Date of the anime entry is compared to the current date.

Permanent voting is possible only if the Finished Airing/Release Date is added AND lies in the past.
So, if you are unable to vote permanently it is likely that nobody has added the Finished Airing/Release Date for this anime yet.

To vote you have to look on the internet for the correct Finished Airing/Release Date of this anime and then file a creq by clicking the "request edit" link at the bottom of the anime page.

If you don't know where to find the Finished Airing/Release Date, these pages can help you.

Note Please always include the URL to the page where you found the Finished Airing/Release Date information in the creq comment field.
