Is Swaying A Legitimate Way To Get A DQ?
 

Here's some backround information to why I want to know what you think..

I made an open callout, Deranged responded, I set up a battle. We both posted verses. First, Status, a guy who has never liked me came in and voted against me. Then, Yvonne, who has voted against me in my last two consecutive battles but doesn't seem to vote on anybody elses, comes in and votes against me. Then, I get a few pms from people saying they're blacklisted, so then I'm like.. this Deranged dude is a complete bitch.

So, I made a "beef" thread.. saying this dude was a bitch. In the thread I said his verse was complete garbage.. then explained why. Then, I said something along the lines of "if you're reading this, please vote.. I would like something honest going in here.."

Then, today I get on and see that I got DQed.. under the basis of "swaying."

Now, my question -

Is that DQ legitimate? The last time I checked the Front Lines rules (which was about 10 minutes ago) it doesn't mention anything about "swaying" or saying the other dude's verse sucked in another forum. And, considering it was in a the Beef Thread forum, what should I have said? Somehow I don't think this would have worked too well, "This dude is a bitch.. but props on that tight ass verse you posted." Fuck no. I thought the verse sucked, so I said it.

I alread pmed strobe, but has anybody else on here been DQed from a battle in Front Lines (not a league or shit like that) on the basis of swaying? Regardless of whether or not you have.. is that a legitimate way to get a win/DQ? Because, the way I see it.. I didn't break any rules in either forum. In Front Lines it doesn't say I can't say the other dude's verse was gay. In Beef Threads.. I "beefed."

I think it's complete bullshit.

And no, this isn't a beef thread so don't move it.

It's a legit question.

All I read was the title, and that's all I needed to formulate my answer. No, it's not a legitimate way to be DQ'd, just as long as whoever votes knows what a good drop is. Swaying is just a defensive term herbs use when their competitor makes it public to other people about how badly they got their ass handed to them.

My exact quote in the Beef Thread forum -

i agree, that's bullshit
i also think the minimum lines rule is fucked up...i dont see whats wrong with makin a 1-2 punch battle, but apparently some1 does...its not like its cheating or sumthin

First off, swaying in anyway is not good enough basis for a DQ unless stated so in the rules thread. Next, you never actually specified that people should vote for you because you were getting screwed so there is no way you should have been DQ'ed. The simple fact is you stated your opinion on his verse and asked honest people to vote. Whether or not those honest people voted for you or not is a different matter. But from what you've said you shouldn't have been DQ'ed at all.

Yeah, hopefully strobe won't say it's like, an "unwritten" rule or some shit.. as if Deranged is pulling wins off of techincalities regarding what I should or shouldn't post in the Beef Thread.. then I'll be damned if I can't play the technical game back.. cause it doesn't say anywhere that I should be DQed for that.

who DQ's battles?

Unlike you guys, I'm too fuckin' lazy to type.

Mimesis is right..

..and that is word.

You being d/q was as simple as deranged pming strobe.

werd, i only DQ people if they bite or recycle shit cuz that is homo

swaying is one of the gay DQ rules......... but i guess part of the reason we have this new battle system is to stop swaying in the actual battle thread....... so strobe might feel really strong about it

The point is, no where in any part of this site does it say "no swaying."

So how am I being DQed for something that's not in the rules?

Like, what? I'm supposed to assume that when my battle is up I can't "beef" about it in the Beef Thread forum.. but as soon as it closes I can say, "oh yeah, he fucking sucks." I don't get it.

No where on this site does it say that I can be DQed for "swaying."

People who know they'll never be able to win by letting votes come in.
