New Members:
All new members won't be allowed to participate in group events such as all types of battles, tournaments, championships, etc until they prove they are worth our attention by doing either of the following;
Voting on battle threads, passing/giving out feedback on other members work(freestyles, audio's, etc.), Posting battle hints, some of your own verses, tutorials as well as maintaining a good reputation. . These are the requirements for new folks to battle in the group for the first time. Prove you're 'dope', let your actions talk, not your words.
Voting System:
We do not want to entertain or condone amateurs who do not improve, so one of the ways to help ourselves out is through the way we vote on battles. The only votes that will be acceptable are either criteria breakdowns, bar-for-bar breakdowns or a deep explanation of about atleast 5-6 lines of relevant explanations. Criteria breakdowns should be listed in this type of arrangement:
Punchlines
Wordplay
Multis
Metaphors & Creativity
Flow & Originality
Battle Leagues:
For one to be added/Join any of the battle leagues, you need to prove you're worth the mention. Follow the specified rules about new members & earn a rep before battling.
Points Battles:
If you're not pretty sure about anything else, PM any administrator.

HOUSE RULES FOR THE WEBSITE
1.) 5 bars is the MINIMUM number of bars allowed in a battle to count on record. Can be more, but no less. Bars are allowed to stretch WITHIN REASON and ONLY upto 4 Lines-per-bar.
2.) 24 hour time lengths are given to each battle UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN THE RULES AND AGREED BY BOTH BATTLERS.
3.) No battlers are allowed to complain/cry about votes in open battles. If you have a problem with a certain vote, DO NOT POST ABOUT IT IN OPEN THREAD. Please contact an administrator/moderator and we will look at it and make a judgment.
4.) SWAYING is classified as the intentional persuasion of viewers / judges to make a certain call. If you start dissecting your opponents verse or talking about how “wack” it was, this will be ground for Disqualification. Respect the battlers and each other and lets keep it clean and fair.
5.) Late entries / extensions will only be granted by admins/mods. If you are late to a battle or need some ore time, we ask that you ask us at LEAST 3 hours in advance so that we know you have good reason. We DO NOT have to give you an extension; it will be up to that admin if they choose to or not.
6.) No Double Accounts. If we find out that you have made a double account and have been voting for yourself / battling yourself, it will be an automatic permanent ban from our community.
7.) Absolutely NO BITING / FLIPPING / FEEDING / SWAYING / BITCHING / COMPLAINING. IN OPEN BATTLES These are immediate grounds for DQ upon Admin decision.
8.) Please do NOT post your tracks, links to your stuff, videos, or any of that other annoying stuff UNLESS granted permission by an Admin or you have participated in an event that allows you to post links related to that particular event. We are a rap battle group and if you are not making callouts or setting up battles, we really DO NOT want to hear it. You will be removed and banned from the website.
9.) Please refrain from posting pictures / disses of peoples children / family members. This is a battle between you and your opponent. Do not bring their families into it or this will be ground for DQ.
10.) NO PORNOGRAPHY / OVERLY CRUDE CONTENT. We know that Horrorcore bars are an exception to this, but overly crude content/images in normal chat or battles will have you kicked out of the website. Please be mindful of the stuff you post.
11.) NO DICKRYDING / HATE OR IMPROPER VOTING. Please provide the battlers with proper critique and feedback as well as your full broken down categorical or bar for bar vote. "you suck" is not proper feedback and will be punished accordingly.
We hope that you enjoy your time here and continue to battle with us in the future. Good luck COMRADES!
