One other thing I was thinking about is all the unused accounts that have been made taking name availability away from people. I think anyone who hasn’t accessed their account in over 10 years should be deleted. Again for names sake and less clutter when trying to create closed battle.

I agree with the titles thing. Strip all titles but I’d keep GC and HOF and Staff

GC was the only title to win back in the day. And moving forward it being the main tournament every year users should be able to retain their GC titles ..

I got some other ideas as well but it’s all along the same lines as what you’ve stated rule

More than happy to free up names from account that have never been active.

Done it plenty of times in the past. Infact i'd support deleting them altogether.

Accounts that were used (especially alot) but or no longer active i think we should respect the history by keeping the names available.

As I said bro. Most of my ideas you already jotted down. You on top of it. Your responses sound a lil defensive. Probably just a misinterpretation on my part. Proud of you rulio. Keep doing what you doin

1. Usertitles Deleted

So im in two minds over this point, so my proposal is one of these two options:

A) All usertitles, besides staff title & HoF'er are removed, and only titles won as of Jan 2022 onwards will be awarded (This is to work along side a much more reduced tourney schedule which i'll propose later).

B) All usertitles are to receive an expiry period of 5 years. This excludes HoF & staff titles.

A section can be put on a users profile (in place of the award system perhaps) to permanently display usertitles.

I think when you see 20+ people with 5 titles apiece it reduces the desire to win them. When i started on this site 5% of users had titles, now it seems like 50% do.


2. Reduced Tournament Schedule

I think we should strip it back to the basics. Two tournament max a year, One a Grand Championship perhaps?

I think we need tournaments to become more special and unique. If you have one / two every month it gets too much.

I think one tournament a year should definitely have a cash prize.


3. Forum Cleanse

Ive started this discussion here: https://www.letsbeef.com/forums/showthread.php?t=172808

Strip the site back, make less forums, less clutter.

COMPLETED


4. Close the Unranked & Exclusive Battle Sections

Again, too much clutter, and never used.

PENDING


5. Audio Battles - Written Only

Freestyle battles are generally abused i find, let's make all battles officially written. Less drama that way.


6. Cypher Sections Reduced

Audio section closed (Audio cyphers are pretty much tracks right?)

Text section reduced / changed. A solo most votes top 20 list, a solo most recent top 20 list. Thats it.


7. Rankings Reset

Again im a little torn about this, but i think as of Dec 31st 2021 the ranking should be frozen (and moved somewhere for prosperity, HoF perhaps?) but ultimately reset as of Jan 1st 2022 to encourage the active members to get involved.


8. Ratings Removed on Battles & Tracks

Everyone rates every track a 10, every cypher a ten etc etc, lets get rid of them. I think an upvote / downvote system would be just as effective.

And with battles, i think you should vote for a winner only. Rating i think are redundant when an expo is already required.


9. No Title / Name Reinstation Upon Account Deletion

Simply - If you request your account is deleted, you lose the username and titles permanently. Deleting accounts is a massive issue for the site, i think we need to curb the occurrence of it as much as possible.

Perhaps signing a disclaimer upon account registration would help.
