I was going to takeover it but I went into an unexpected leave of absence. Taking a look into it now, I see that the last round wasn't concluded properly. I'll take care of that right away! However, I don't promise on having another round until after the get-together because I've way too many responsibilities to uphold right now.
That said, if anyone wants to host it for a couple of rounds feel free to contact me. :)
i was gonna repost it and make some of the changes, though i was gonna talk to syn about it. i think as it stands now the voting system is too flawed and doesn't achieve its purpose. i will outline some proposed changes when i have more time, but i wanted to go over them with syn first. i was going to take it back over since you and wolf don't have time.
The first thing that was brought up was enforcing a rule for rmt's that would insist user to submit teams that were complete rather than asking us to build it, since that isn't rmt and there is already a thread (team building workshop) for it.
100% agree, 5 pokes should be the absolute minimum.
for lower, i think the team building workshop should be a sticky in the forum.
To avoid such hassle we also thought about the possibility of bringing back thread approvals, which would be really nice right now since we a lot more activity than there was a year back.
curious what the moderation staff thinks but i'm ok with this, with the caveat zekrom mentioned that it'd only be for your proposed rmt forum. only necessary if we bring back a 5 or 6 pokemon minimum restriction back though. right now the bar is too low for threads for this to be necessary.
I also suggested that btb be restructured a bit. The main forum would only be home to discussions and rmt's would be in a different sub section all together like the in game section. The section would also contain tags like cart, oras ou, battle spot, vgc etc. and have threads like the team building workshop and replay critique stickied in the main forum and things like the threat list and introduction to competitive battle stickied in the rmt section.
This would not only make it look more organised but also elegant.
does the main forum have enough juice without rmts to sustain itself?
besides that, this makes sense, but i'm not going to lie (and this isn't aimed as you as much as in general)... i kind of hate how many times this forum has rebranded and reorganized itself. whatever we choose, it'd be great if we could just stick to it unless something really changes. there are so many other things we can focus on that have a more direct impact on how enjoyable everyone's experience here is, so my only really strong thought is that this is a quick decision and implementation.
Also I am against rmt's made by users stubborn enough to not heed the suggestions rates give, because otherwise what's the point of an rmt. I don't mean blindly following whatever is suggested but to consider everything said and put in your counter argument as to why a change would be more negative than positive rather than saying I love weedle it's my favourite pokemon
these just need to be locked/potentiall infracted. it's not a big problem really.
i have an event idea related to pcl, i'll post it when i have more time.
