Get set up to vote
Sign in to What Is Launching and confirm your email address. That's it—you can then vote on any live launch, once per listing per person.
The voting rhythm
On a launch day, cast your vote while it's live. You're free to vote for your own launch, but only after you've voted for someone else's first. The system watches for abuse: hourly and daily limits prevent spam, and suspicious bursts get flagged for review before they're counted.
A human check may pop up now and then to keep things clean.
Why votes stay earned
Votes are community-only. The billboard (paid ranking), verification badges and data like Domain Rating run on separate tracks—all clearly labelled. No payment touches your vote count. Active members do earn influence, which can weight their vote more heavily, but that's earned through genuine participation, not money.
