I agree with this.

I don't think Cek has either because I've watched all of it and didn't know who Aggo was. I googled him and he's an obscure character, I'm guessing he gets mentioned more in the books.

An effective personal is a non rebuttle-able bar or verse that applies contextually. Literally to the recipient and figurative enough for the blind witness to grasp the back story. Not necessarily an entendre though.

Man you making me all happy and depressed at the same time with this nostalgia trip. Our beefs and differences aside. Win or lose The track section wouldn't have been HALF as entertaining without the likes of you putting in work. A case of you don't know what you've got till it's gone I guess. Thats 100.

Some people dont consider them personals(I do), but I think a well done nameplay hits harder than a generic punch that could be used on anyone. Its hard to get that here cuz alot of battles are one person dropping on an open, giving only the person sniping an actual chance at ANY type of real personals.

The entire aspect of "personals" is skewed due to the online nature of letsbeef. In person battling almost necessitates the use of personals when there is history between two opponents. On here, though? The large extent of "personals" lies in, 99% of the time, garbage & old nameplay.

The "personal" angle that I love taking is the swift but impactful breakdown of the entire way that your opponent approaches rap. Me & rant did this to each other in our GC battle, and I think that was a perfect example of how online personals should go. Me & rant know shit about each other im sure we wouldnt want the other writing about, and we just didn't. Nothing was spoken, we just know not to be fucking faggots.

This leads me to the fine line with online personals, because I'll also think differently about the line itself if I know that you went through some shady shit to retrieve the personal at hand. Like, im not going to cheer you on for facebook stalking a strangers family for days to try & find an angle to use against him in an online rap battle.

Also the line is going to move depending on the person. For example with me personally I wouldn't be mad if someone found my profiles, found out personal info and used it in a rap battle against me (provided links weren't given preferably). So long as "no harm is done" i.e. they don't contact anyone they come across or harass me, or anyone I know in the process.

However for @Celsius it seems that he didn't want anyone to search out any of his social media profiles. Which is absolutely his prerogative and I can totally understand that. But it does pose a difficult question for enforcing any kind of rule.

To me it seems there are two options. Self-policing; simply ask your opponent if they're OK with something being mentioned in a battle. Or, Option 2 making a strict rule that opposes digging up personal information. I would personally prefer option 1 as option 2 is too binary and could take the fun out of the site for battlers that particularly like to use personals.

One thing I'll point out about social media, if you don't want your personal info exposed, you should set up your privacy settings properly. Most people leave the default settings on Facebook which exposes a lot of your shit publicly.

Not trying to justify it being "ok" to use someones personal info, but there are ways to prevent it from happening in the first place.
