regular member should have much say.. as in what should be in legends.

this is the members board as much as the moderators.

i agree^^

but no newbs obviously.....(i kno my post count is low but i aint a newb)

people should vote on who goes in or not

Heres the steps to take to get in legends (worked for me)
Find a great writer on the site, befriend him then ask for a collab (ghod)
when he tells you his verse is done, spend the next waking 14 hours rewording your verse as much as possible (food break if needed)
then be humble about it and from that day on, drop shitty open mics...

Enjoy!

fanta zee- your posts were deleted in the penskills nominations thread because I cleaned the thread, due to the fact that it was clogged with unecessary posts, much like yours, restating the same points.

As for you making assumptions about what me and the other mods let into legends, you can fuck right off. I do my job, I do it well, and I'm not going to let pieces I don't think deserve to be in, in. Penskills is a good writer, I have said this a lot, I just didn't think the pieces were legendary. So sue me.

^ Great Idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! who wants to be my friend???????????????????

Yeah...If everything that was nominated got into Legends, what would be so legendary about it? Nothing..There has to be some that get rejected..And often when people don't get in for one reason or another they criticize the judges and try to come up with a reason which isnt their fault as to why their piece wasn't inducted..

Mods are mods for a reason..They have been around long enough to have a good judgement of what deserves to be in and what doesn't..Their decisions should be trusted and not questioned..If we had random members judging what's legendary, you might get someone with 50 posts who's mad at the system putting all this bullshit in there and then our legends forums would all go to hell...Plus how can you know what is or isn't the best this site has seen when you haven't been here long enough to see half of it?

Maybe there is a piece that falls through the cracks now and then but it seems like everytime someone reads something they like they scream "legends!"

But aren't you a member of ~PURE~ ? The crew that includes MAVEN?

*starts shit with someone new*

LoL, I wasn't even a mod of Legends when Gege's pieces were accepted.

*watches as Brandon's witty comment goes to shit*
:)

I'm in Legends once. I was declined once. I have been nominated three times.

The talent has to be there. The activity has to be there. If you just come on this site to post up and piece, don't bother talking, and don't bother replying to other pieces, have fun trying to get a nomination (let alone a decent reply to your piece).

Also a reason why new members might feel they get looked over...you drop a nice piece, get a legends nomination but get declined and start protesting 'its cause my post count' while that is not the full truth...chances are it may have an effect...cause everyone in legends right now is known on the site...

How would you feel if you seen a drop from
"MC Nameless"
in legends tomorrow...even if it was DOPE, its still kinda weird to see someone whos never been here drop dope like that

heres advice to all, just keep writing and if your as skilled as you are precieved you will get in legends...and at one point you will get your own sub forum there...so keep dropping, keep replying (good exposure) and keep your head up

If you send me $35 via snail mail, i can get in a good word about you

I didnt hear anything :rolleyes:

LoL, I know this. I was modding that forum when I put some of hers in there. I just wanted to comment in this thread and stir up shit.

:)

why dont all you complainers spend take time away from whining and put time into perfecting your piece so that it will be undistbuted as legends material

*not that i know what that looks like :(

This obviously caused quite a stir. Thats good. That was the desired effect. All i wanted out of this was to get people to listen, and to shed light - whether you back me or not - on the content of the Legends forum.

At no point in time did i ever say that the pieces immortalised in Legends were not worthy of that title; they are. I am especially fond of the poetry section, DaGyrlRemarquabl is my favourite poet on this site, and i have checked out a few of the open mics; i know i could never live up to that standard. I am not asking for a place in Legends. I am just asking for a general overview. More nominations. A better voting scheme. I'm sure that would prove fair. Or is this an impossible request?

Doesn't anyone see a general pattern here?

Well, I really don't think if a person's first post is a great Open Mic is should go into Legends, even if it is worthy. So we put it in there...and then the member leaves the site a week later, awesome.
Legends is suppose to be a reflection of RB's best members. Not the reflection of RB's best members who posted once or twice.

The word More should not be associated with Legends. That just lowers level of 'greatness' of what makes it in.
