it could possibly be an inconvenience to people trying to vote..

yeah I do realize that. it definitely is possible but not necessarily a guarantee. if people are submitting later its only going to hurt their chances of getting heard or voted for but I still want them to have that chance

okay, your week your rules..

mods will repost and add to the playlist up to the deadline and start the vote thread right after, as usual..
the rest is up to your discretion as you wanted to make this your special rule.

just my thoughts..: this seems like reaction to the not liking special rules complaints of last and other weeks..

are these week's rules a thing that have been on your mind longer?

I understand your resentment of authority..
your sentiment last week was clear.. 'though we are not ^^it.
us running this forum/bb, are doing it for your and ourselves' fun.. so any suggestion that will benefit the group as a whole we'll always consider.
if all else fails you can always join the BMU Beat Makers Union

I definitely appreciate what the mods do. the vote thread will start at normal time wednesday. I don't want to give mods any extra work. if they miss the late beats that's fine. I don't see the rules as authoritarian really I just wanna hear more fire beats. if I don't like the rules one week I will usually just skip. not really a reaction to last week. I've been wanting both of these rules for years. I know at one point there were multiple entries allowed and there were less restrictions about deadlines but that changed over time

thank you.. appreciated.
I've been doing these for 8 years and the only thing that's truly changed since then is the 1,2,3 voting system and we did that by means of all beat makers voting.
yes, you're right.. hard deadlines weren't upkept and late posted beats could end up winning.. also votes just ran till a mod woke up and called it on saturdays.
that also peeved some members.. especially ones that woulda won if the rules were applied..
so gradually we started to follow the rules guidelines more diligently.. for different reasons.
one is, because mods started to get more responsibilities in life and needed clearer times in order to be able to do what they needed to do..
making sure the new week got posted and not have to run/wait around after peeps for it etc.
I think especially the Europeans we're bummed out if a winner didn't show up till way late coz they were losing their whole saturday to flip coz of it..
that's why we implemented the posting deadline I think.. I don't recall everything exactly.
the more clearly defined boundaries and dependability is appreciated by a lotta members..
and doesn't restrict creativity imo..
special rules have definitely increased my creativity and we've had more weeks with than without'em in the last 8 years
whether or not the beats are fire i'll leave up to the votes.

like I said.. we're always open to suggestions and if people think it's best for the community and we're able to practically execute them, we can make it happen.

I like that a later submission can still win. it's already at a disadvantage because it will have less listens so if it wins it is probably really good and worth hearing. I want to make sure the new week still starts on time Saturday. I love waking up Saturday and seeing beats posted before i've even heard the sample.

remember when Daniel san showed up late to the 1984 all-valley karate championships without a belt? mr. miyagi deemed him a black belt and Daniel went on to defeat Johnny with a crane kick to the face effectively ending bullying in America.

Yo ehm yeah I'm just gonna try and take advantage of this and post like 15 beats with the samples. But if I happen not to have anymore time here's #1

congrats on the win wig!

My two cents about the ruleset discussion:
I'd love a talk about ways to improve the battles, changing the rules, however I don't think Its a good way to just change an essential organizational routine without talking to the people that make sure everything gets counted, reposted, contact the winners an so on each an every week for more than three years now.



peace,
pd

basically all I said was there's no non-entries or late entries this week. often the only beat I like is a non-entry and I want to be able to vote for that beat even if it broke a rule. I wouldn't say the default rules are necessarily essential.
