get rv fun again or at least functional: the zigs coalition
 

okay im throwing this out here

rv is suking majorly as adam pointed out in another thread

i posted some thoughts of mine in the thread

now i beleive that if the mind-core of the site come together we can fix this

thats why im proposing the CRVL (Coalition of RV Leaders)

dont pass me off as a lunatic this is something that could work

it would be a council of mods, established crew leaders, & influential/active members.

just brainstorming i got this so far...

MOD COUNCIL - 9th Ysdat Nosta Mim & Indeph
LEADER COUNCIL - Willa, (TC rep), Mr. Johnston, DV, & Malice
MEMBER COUNCIL - SPuL, Tha Q, The Rev, Crazy Hades, & myself

now the council is by far not well thought out its just some names getting thrown into the mix (im hoping i can get some help on organizing this from Ysdat)

however the purpose would be to figure out how we can fix these problems internally. granted there are things strobe can do to make the site more interesting but we can do this through mods adapting rules and whatnot and if theres something we need strobe to do we can formulate a case to have it changed

just an idea tell me what u think

I thought this was a thread about battling specifically. Well, here's my spin on things:

#1...At the end of the day, this is still a RAP site. Therefore, if people are actively dropping raps and pieces, there shouldn't be an issue.

#2...There are rules to any forum. Everyone here has probably broken one or another at some point. So, if Mods are going to enforce the rules for one, they need to enforce them for all.Period.

#3...The voting system is ridiculous. I remember dropping a good 5 sentences explaining why I voted for someone. They had the vote removed due to, "insufficient explanation." After that, I vowed to never waste my time ever again.


#4...Like MM and you said in the "ban Q" thread, people need to return to the basics--i.e., RAP. Battles are the way we've always handled things on this site. When I first came to RV in 2004, that's all I did was battle because it was fun. Then, for some reason, people stopped battling and it turned into non-stop bitching, babbling, hating, beef, and bullshit. We are all guilty of one or the other at some point.


I'd be willing to be part of a council if it plans to be civil.





Battling should be a top priority on this site again.

i plan on civilness definately

i think that ppl are getting away from the rap aspect thats why im putting this on the table

^^Yea...I remember being able to set up a battle today, and it'd be finished by tonight...


Sometimes, a return to simplicity is the best option. Hey, everyone on this board bull shits at some point. So, I'm not even addressing that...But, for all the bullshit, there needs to be raps, battles, pieces, tourneys, and all the other things pertaining to rap in between.

That isn't happening.

Yeah, thinking 5 sentences is a legit vote is rediculous.

fa real

i dont vote

cuz i know who wins in my opinion

but i dont want to type a term paper about it

5 sentences is a full paragraph bro...That, to me, is more than enough to explain a vote, esp. if the battle is lopsided.

"Zig-Zag"...hmm..weren't you the dude who fakes his own e-death?

If you want to make RV better, all you gotta do is rap more. Nothing you do or say is going to make anyone vote any different.

this should be more than enough to vote in a text battle

flow - Zigs
punches - Zigs
wordplay - Zigs
personals - 9th

VOTE - ZIGS

that should be good with maybe a sentence giving an overview or something idk i prolly forgot to put somehitn in but im eating cut a break

no someone else posted that id died so stfu

i can rap more but if my battles dont get voted on it defeats the purpose dumbshit

god damn

^^AGREED.



That's the best way to vote...Why do I need to know what someone thinks about each line, word for word?


The could use that format, then throw a sentence in there summing it all up.

thank you

at least someone sees my points

I don't understand what you're trying to propose. You have a "coalition" of people, but they do. . what? Think of ways to make the site better? How many possible ways can the site get better (that a group of like, 10 people can do)? The site lies in people wanting to battle, vote and leave feedback.

lmao, someone said you died..you played a long...but yeah...you're not involved :rolleyes:
Why are you so mad and getting upset lol, I'm just askin.


Who said battles were the only type of rap?

and why are you so mad? callin names and what not over nothing. Why?

and all your doing ziggy is getting all ur friends together to talk about this site..what u want us to do? people vote just not on some bigger battles cuz they aint allowed..the post rates be so high that rappers just cant vote...yall need to see..this site can be fun but its about rap first..your just tryin to make the LL threads more fun
