Proposal for new rule.

[Shodan]

I think there's a serious argument to be made for abolishing crews altogether. Much like companies only benefit the public when they're competing, crews only benefit the site when they're beefing. At the moment, LB's userbase is too small to support multiple "warring" communities. Crews don't seem to serve much purpose other than decreasing vote counts. And, yes, I realize that this is a hypocritical statement on my part, since I'm currently in a crew with other members.

I also agree that if FVC members become required to vote on all tournament battles, they should receive some leeway. Nobody should be kicked from the FVC for not voting on Bnas vs Anarchist in the first round of the One Bar tournament because their child died of AIDS. But they shouldn't receive so much leeway that the rule might as well not exist.

YOU ARE ON POINT ABOUT THA CREW SITUATION AND I FULLY AGREE WITH YOUR ANALYSIS.... THA ONLY WAY I CAN SEE CREWS BEING A BENEFIT FOR THA SITE IN THIS CURRENT MOMENT IS FROM A 'NEW ACCOUNT' POINT OF VIEW, THA NEWER GUYS ARE MORE LIKELY TO WANT THIS AS A FEATURE TO USE BEFORE THEY REALIZE DOWN THA LINE THAT ITS POINTLESS, IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN LOL.

SO WITH REGARDS TO YOUR ORIGINAL POST AND MY ORIGINAL RESPONSE, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON MY COUNTER OFFER? IT WOULD BE MANDATORY FOR FVC MEMBERS TO VOTE ON QUARTER-FINALS ONWARDS OF EVERY LETSBEEF TOURNAMENT TEXT AND AUDIO, IF THEY MISS THIS TARGET 2 TOURNAMENTS IN A ROW WITHOUT PRE-WARNING ME ABOUT UPCOMING INACTIVITY THEN THAT WOULD LEAD TO A REMOVAL FROM THA CLUB, THEY WOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED TO VOTE ON AT LEAST 2 BATTLES IN EVERY ROUND BEFORE THA QUARTER-FINAL STAGE...... I WOULD ALSO MAKE THIS RULE FOR STAFF MEMBERS ASWELL.

WHATS YOUR THOUGHTS @Shodan?

This isn't exactly what I would have come up with, but it's fine in my opinion, except that I think it should be like 2 tournaments out of the last 5 or something, rather than two in a row. Otherwise you could have people only meeting their tournament quota in every other tournament...
