More Info

Want to post your awesome verses and get some awesome feedback and/or critique? Well guess what… we do to. The point is, don’t expect feedback if you haven’t given any. This doesn’t mean go kiss ass, it means contribute to the site.

“Blah blah blah, I want to be a mod”. Your new, it isn’t happening, move on. Prove yourself, shit, maybe get crazy and read the “How do I get onto LA staff?” in the General board which is an option after you’ve clicked the forum button at the top (way up ^ there).

Being actively annoying is not the same as being an Active member. Think of quality vs quantity. You can post 20 irrelevant things on threads (which at that point you should’ve been banned already) or you can post 10 forms of feedback/criticism/vote with some good extensive detail. Guess who would get more feedback and help from the community regarding their own development. That’s right, the 10 relevant posts.

Punishment for Crimes

 Small offense, first time or two, you’ll see a warning posted…heed it. You can and will be banned for breaking the site rules. Think Auschwitz…………... then realize whatever your mad about isn’t as bad. These are not the site rules but a quick guide on how to get shit going. There are two times of banning: temporary and permanent.

Hierarchy (with any sort of actual power)

Owner

Senior Mod

Site Moderator

Street Team

let the mods do their thing, if they need help, they will elect someone to step in and help them. im not saying they need help, but if they did, they wouldn't go to you for it (your too new). Below the mod team they have a street team who is essentially the ones next in line to become future mods, should the need ever occur. that being said you are nowhere near being even a consideration for the street team. there are many ppl who would qualify for that position before you, newbie.

now im not saying you cant help around the site, but there are things that are as important as being a mod. for instance, voting/feeding, there aren't enough ppl who vote/feedback on the site (I myself included don't vote/feed as much as I should). If you'd like, think of it like this... that is the position they need help with. voting and feeding, and trust if you do enough of it, it will be noticed. don't expect a trophy, but that people will return the favor when you post

Crews

OH SHIT, they got crews! I want to join!!!!!!!!

Settle the fuck down a minute...

if you want to join a crew go apply for it, don't ask on other peoples threads. Decide which ones would be the right fit for you; no one likes a crew hopper. Which leads me to my own personal opinion on the matter:

“I suggest keep being active whilst developing your craft. Yea, you can ask to join crews or request it, but to me it's always better if they request you join.

If you remain as active and keep improving, you'll probably get an offer. I got a couple offers over the course of 5 months. This method is always my recommendation. Also, don't just join a crew to have a crew, know what you are looking for in a crew. How will you make it better and what benefits it has to offer you. Both parties should benefit. Just my $0.02”

Some More Info
stay active in the ways that benefit the site. if you see an open mic or audio mic or anything, go give some detailed feedback and or constructive criticism on how they can improve. If you don't like someone's attitude, then keep it to yourself. this isn't high school where you have to go say something to try to put them in their place or anything. im not saying don't make friends and shit but im saying you got to keep to yourself more.

You're welcome, now have a great fucking day.

now read this too.
