We aren't really strict on deadlines tho?

I didn't wanna compete in the GC at all but refused to no show.

Tongan answered late but it was accepted. So we aren't really that strict?

Nah fuck that because when I asked for an extension most of the time I got denied it which contributed to me saying fuck this shit to begin with and just becoming an exclusively freestyle rapper. People are going to complain about the website being ghetto and the question why shit is being enforced in an attempt to make it less ghetto and that's just beyond me. I actually plan on writing for this shit. My first two verses were just so fucking bullshit freestyles off the top that weren't even good lmao.

You're missing the point and coming from a hurt, personal stance. No one wants this site to be a shit show, besides you from the sounds of it?

Two hour grace period.

You're too late to speak for starters. Secondly, this would be considerably unfair to a lot of other dudes who had to rush for a deadline. But definitely refer to the my first sentence.

But yeah I totally want the site to be a complete and utter shit show because of an emotional and biased opinion btw YIKES. Imagine that shit.

The problem with all of this is that you have to have a hard deadline at some point or there's no deadline at all. If there's a 2-hour grace period after the deadline, that's essentially extending the deadline by 2 hours. Because if someone posts 2 hours 30 minutes late, they're definitely just going to say "I was only 30 minutes after the deadline, it's no big deal really, I posted so just take the battle" so you end up with a precedent for a 2 and a half hour grace period, then when someone's 3 hours late you get the same thing and so on. I think it's a good idea if both battlers agree they want the battle to go ahead then it should; and for stuff like the LBT where its monthly then it doesn't really matter, but for tournaments with tight schedules I think deadlines are pretty important and should only be ignored if both battlers agree to let the battle go ahead, or if the late poster had communicated clearly with the tournament organiser before the deadline expired and sorted out a mutual extension.

One thing I've noticed about most no shows, they spend hella time posting to where it looks like they're not even busy for the first 2-3 days before the deadline. Then the day of posting, you barely even see them log in.

I tend to write late myself but that's by choice. My notepad is on my phone and I can write on the go. Even when I'm at work.

Barzooka 01-20-2020 06:39 PM

I mean me personally I just don't care atm because it's MLK day and I'm just smoking weed chilling. The fact that today is a Holiday should've been taken into consideration to begin with. Let these guys have time for themselves and their families then let him finish their writing.
