How RSPS Voting Systems Work

Understand toplist votes, server rewards and callbacks without assuming that a vote total measures every aspect of quality.

A vote belongs to a listing system

A toplist records eligible votes for registered server listings. The rules for cooldowns, eligibility and resets belong to that toplist. A vote count is one signal about participation, not a complete measure of technical quality or your likely enjoyment.

On this site, rankings are supplied by MoparScape. Sponsored listings are identified separately, and the feed follows MoparScape’s actual ordering.

Rewards are a separate step

Some servers offer in-game rewards for voting. The game server needs a way to confirm eligibility and deliver the reward. A callback or claim API can connect the voting service with the project’s reward system, but implementations differ.

Clicking a vote link, completing a vote and successfully claiming a reward are distinct events. If something fails, identify which step did not complete instead of assuming that all three are the same operation.

What a callback means

A callback is a request one service sends to another to report an event. For vote rewards, it can notify a project that a qualifying action was recorded. The receiving system should validate the message before granting anything.

The exact URL, authentication and retry behaviour are properties of the integration. A working callback for one toplist does not mean that another expects the same fields.

Read rankings with context

A monthly counter depends on the service’s reset rules. Reward incentives, sponsored placements and a community’s voting habits can all affect the visible order. Use the result to discover servers, then read their descriptions and test your preferred activities.
