Okay, here's a general guideline for sig battles.

WHEN STARTING A BATTLE:
1. Create a new topic with rules similar to these:
RULES:
Theme -- Grunge
Size -- No larger than 450x250.
Render -- Gaming. Use only one.
Animation -- Optional.
Due -- By tomorrow morning.
Other -- Popouts allowed, but within the size limit.

2. Make sure you post up your sig, or tell that you'll be making the voting topic with your sig in it, after the challenger posts theirs.

3. Also, make sure you pick a set number of votes before a winner is decided, something similar to:
The winner is the first to get 4 out of 7 votes.
or
The winner is the first to get 7 votes total.
or maybe even
SUDDEN DEATH! First vote wins!

4. State whether you want the battle to be a 1vs1, a 1vs1vs1, or a free for all, or something similar to that. You can have as many challengers as you want, but try to avoid too many, because that leaves less people to vote.

5. Don't enter the same sig in battles twice. Try to be original. This also helps stop people from using better sigs over and over again to win multiple times.

6. Don't accept battles if the battle starter already has enough challengers, unless it's okay with them to add more slots.
