Scrap basic, unranked and exclusive...and the monthly rankings. Replace them with weight classes....light, middle, and heavy...each with an ongoing rankings system and an interchangeable title denoted by a user title and a special sig. Members in a certain weightclass will be denoted by the color of their name. 3 consecutive defenses of title result in step up in weight class. You cannot battle down in weightclass unless challenge sent to you from someone in lower class from you. Compile rankings once a year to seed a tourney for each class, the winner or light and middle get an award and a step up in class, heavyweight tourney winner is that year's GC. Assign a mod to run each weight class.

This is actually not a bad idea. Similar to the different colored flames, I can see how it could provide an incentive for people to battle and move up weight classes. But how would someone who starts off in light weight class finally get promoted to middle weight? Number of points/battles completed?
EDIT: Sorry, I missed the part where you said "3 consecutive defenses of title result in step up in weight class." I think an automatic promotion to higher weight class based on a number of battles completed and points earned ratio might work better for using this tier system to stimulate activity.

i'm not sure about this at all.

i would say there should be something offered for voting. let me put it like this. when i was on a website called allpoetry, they had a system where you were not allowed to post a poem unless you had commented on two other poems. if you were caught putting simple shit like "wow nice." you'd get in trouble. so you had to legit post a unique response everytime you commented. but this made it where for a long time a lot of people got the reads and comments they wanted. also, whoever had the most comments by the end of the week won a free gold membership for a month. and that shit was hella nice. how would it work here?

since membership is now free, i have a few ideas. 1. make more merch for the emcee. i'm talking like hundreds of items in the shop. 2. reward credits 3. reward custom sigs that say something like "prince" or something, like how the fvc member with the most votes gets the "fvc king" title. but instead of titles we give out special designed sigs.
