If you're using real, completely true personals, as long as its information that is known about on the site then its fair game. If its something that isn't personally identifying information that the person chose to share with you off-site, it's also fair game, but I do think it's also fair for that person to be upset with you and for it to damage your friendship with them.
For 'fake personals', I think it comes down to believability. Stuff like "I'm gonna shoot you!" or "You are a gay prostitute!" are obviously untrue, so that doesn't even cross my mind when I'm voting and doesn't affect my reading of the bar. However, something that is extremely plausible but completely false (for example if I had a bar like "Punk has been sucking off EtH in the forums all year and never disagrees with him") then my mind will automatically ask "Is this true?" and when I think back and go "Oh no that's completely wrong", not only does it distract me from the actual punch but also makes me feel subconsciously disappointed in the bar. This is why I feel plausible but false personal accusations are less effective, not because there's something morally wrong or mean about them at all, but just because it serves as a distraction and puts me off while reading them.

If someone had a bar about "Punk has been sucking off EtH in the forums all year and never disagrees with him" it lands way better. Being that it's not true but since that's all I've heard since day 1, it still actually work the same way as a true personal. The idea of Punk "sucking off eth" sticks only because people compare us all the time even though were nothing alike. So that bar would still be fire.
"You got a mentor.. wow that's cute, even inVITES TO THE CREW; I told Seul "Show your "Worth" next thing ya know? Hes WRITING FOR YOU!"
This is what I said to Edgeworth and mfs are like "nah I know for a fact that's not true". Yeah no shit. The point of the bar was mainly for OOOOoooOoo! And comedy purposes. Almost like telling someone "you dont raise your kids right" or "your wife support your family more than you"..
Also you told me my "whole verse was built in with personals". Idek what this bullshit mean because an entire verse with personals to me is fire. That's where most battle rap verses shine. Imagine telling 2Pac he used too many personals in Hit em Up so the tracks not as good. LOL and yes Ik that's a song but it's the same idea. They had a battle.
The only downfall of having a fake personal done against you is that you cant rebuttal like in a live battle. Like when T-Top told geechi Gotti he a snitch and should've blinded his face in that good vlogs video.
Then geechi rebuttled with a "geechi should've hid his face, man that sound like someone hiding from something" punchline.
Thing is I've never complained about a fake personal used against me. Everyone here is so afraid that they might look bad, dudes are roaming the site in Iron man suits for protection.
