Battles
This is for all new users or those of you who haven't perfected the art of Letsbeef... First off welcome to Letsbeef, now that that's out of the way, lets jump into the action... Audio, Text, and Visual... Letsbeef covers all forms or rap battling on the field, First Audio: Audio battling is the most popular form of battling so lets get into to the "how to" portion scroll on battles and click start battle, if you want to post an open for anyone to jump on, or click view to reply to any battle that is currently open from other emcees on the site (For info on mic support reply to this post or pm me). Text, same thing only this time no mic is needed and all you need is your mouse and keyboard... And last is the visual battles, or Video battles, This option is only open to exclusive members but its basically the same but you will need a mic and web cam to make a video battle...
Voting Etiquette
Voting on battles is important not only to the people in the battles but also to you, when you vote you get a credit, credits are used to post battles, cyphers, etc. When it comes to voting I do it pretty well so here's the best way to do it... Start out by listening to one side and type the parts you think are cool, dope, ill, etc, and place your opinion for their rank then listen to the other guy, and again type what you liked about their verse and place your opinion for rank... Then finally Place your vote for the winner in your opinion... Don't forget to put feedback to help both sides out... The key to voting... Obviously... is listening to the whole battle...
Exclusive Membership
As a Letsbeef member you've already obtained a basic membership with Letsbeef.com, BUT Letsbeef also offers an exclusive membership for 5 dollars a month, or 6 months for 25 dollars, or finally 1 year for only 50 bucks that's two months free... With the exclusive membership you get plenty of added features on the site just find your way to check out the extras, and decide for yourself if that's something you want to take advantage of.
Letsbeef.com Chatroom
This is one of my favorite things to do on Letsbeef other than participate in battles. To access the chatroom click on the chatroom icon on the left hand side of your screen then click the launch chatroom button and you'll be directed to the chatroom... In the chat room you can link your mic and web cam and chat, battle, beef, and whatever BUT whatever you do DO NOT POST LINKS to your battles... This will result to you being banned from the chatroom
Getting Banned on Letsbeef
On Letsbeef there are mods and admins in charge of keeping the site flowing on a day to day basis, admins are usually in charge of operations such as tournaments, Mod selections, and other ways to make the site better... Moderators, are people who make sure the rules are being followed, rules that I will do my best to explain, number one... Hate Voting hate voting can be seen in two ways number one you have a vote on one of your battles that isn't in your favor so you retaliate and vote a 5-10 against the person that didn't vote for you, that is hate voting and it will most likely get you banned... another way hate voting is seen is if you post a semi-fair rank but a hate comment, "THIS GUY SUCKS AT RAP ITS OBVIOUS WHO WON". another thing that will get you banned is Disrespect to Moderators or Admins... Moderators help you, as they help others, disrespecting them is like disrespecting the site itself, so that will result in being banned if you continue the acts after a warning. Admins are higher up than mods they make this site better for you , the users, disrespecting an admin may get you banned for longer. Multiple Accounts Letsbeef does its best to keep voting on battles fair, creating multiple accounts and voting on your own battles will not only get you banned once but both accounts will be banned from Letsbeef.com forever!!! This means, no chatroom, no voting, no access... If you think "There's no way they can know I have two accounts" I have bad news for you, you use your I.P address to sign up on Letsbeef two accounts on the same I.P Address would mean you have multiple accounts and will result in you being banned. Posting Links in the Chatroom Posting a link to your music page and doing promotional things like that, for the most part, is okay if its done appropriately (meaning don't flood the chatroom with your link), posting links to a cypher is okay, but posting a link to a battle is not something the chatroom should be used for, posting a link and saying "Check this battle I wanna get it on the hotlist", will result in being banned from the chatroom, sometimes if you see there's no admins in the room you could still get banned because some users take a screenshot and report it to moderators and your account may get banned from the site.
Crews on Letsbeef.com
On Letsbeef there is a feature of crews, only exclusive members can begin a crew but the leader or founder of the crew can build by inviting new emcees or people that aren't currently in crews to their crews. Being in a crew doesn't mean your stuck in that crew you can choose to leave by clicking the My Crew icon on the left of your screen, and then wait for a different crew leader to invite you to their crew. Being in a crew brings added exposure to you if the crew you're in is well-known on the site, making you more known... Crew Leaders can ainvite people to their crews, kick people out of their crews, and change crew members positions in their crews as well as the roles of a captain. Crew Captains can begin crew battles and choose whos in the crew battles. Basic Crew Members can't really do much for their crew except for represent their crew and work their way to leader...
Battle Information (Help with battles)
If you have a battle posted and someone replies and you realize that someone has hate voted on your battle contact a mod or admin right away and they will do their best to address the issue... usually it results in a warning to the hate voter and the vote can be deleted, however if you address the issue to late and the battle has closed... There's nothing a moderator or an admin can do about it... be sure to keep an eye on your battles and the votes...
