I checked out the other topical battles in Legends, and most of them were one-sided in votes, too. I've never suggested that older Legends pieces should get taken out, but just re-read so people can have a more accurate perspective for current battles. I like King's idea, and would be willing to help if needed.

agree'd.. poetry doesn't develop into something better over time... poetry will always n should b held to the same quality no matter what
Yessir. So in that case, just replace my two noms with the old ones and we'll call it a day
I wish it worked that way

Om nom nom.
i don't feel like quoting, but whoever said the shit about poetry being timeless was right... text evolves... but topical and poetry i'd think should be held to the same standard no matter what time... it doesn't change that much...
side note... token.. u know u need one more yes vote right
the irony
actually he had 13 votes (14 including the DQ'd vote), so I went ahead and closed it. Congrats, Token.

what do you guys think about having a "skunk" rule? Meaning, something gets nominated and the first X amount of votes are no's without any yes's, is it fair to close it? If so, how many no's is reasonable? I'm just trying to keep this forum less cluttered, because I feel like less people vote when there's shit everywhere. Or is it fine as is to let them linger for 2 months (remember, this would only happen if there are 0 yes votes). Thoughts?

7 straight... that's just over half of what's needed for yes... that makes sense imo...
I'd say 5 no's in a row for the KO.

thats a good idea
i agree that most of the stuff in legends, as far as poetry is concerned, is not good by today's standards.
my piece, "lucky brand me" is a million times better than my piece in there now("You"), and honestly, i wouldn't care if it were removed. but the other stuff, i believe it was great for the time. the bar has been consistently raised and we see how far our talent has come. some poets stopped writing, some of us kept at it because it's all we know. i've been writing poetry on rb since i first started writing poetry in a serious manner. that was 03, almost ten years now, and to see how far we have come is something to be proud of. i agree that the stuff nominated now is far beyond what we currently have in there. but the difference is that the nominations now have not moved me like the pieces that are currently inducted moved me when i first read them.
i believe in being genuine with your poetry. i believe it has to be more than pretty words. i was hoping freshadiddie would stay around, she had promise. im seeing improvement in writers that never impressed me before(dagel) and im glad some of you have taken an interest in poetry but this is something that i take great pride in.

^ i'm sure back in 03 when you read those poems you weren't an egotistic elitist were you
