Title Poll
Posted: Tue May 30, 2017 4:15 am
I've noticed a few conflicting opinions in the site chat and elsewhere regarding titles. So this poll is an attempt to address that. I've just been trying my best to service our community and help it grow. And this will be another attempt at that.
I'm going to take blame for the dissent some might have encountered on the subject of titles. I don't flex the admin muscles on LAW very often. But one thing I did when I made LAW is I decided that we should tackle one or more of the weight belts first. Literally wrote that somewhere in the FAQs/Rules section. My misstep here was that I didn't really consult anyone prior to making that decision. It just sort of made sense to me. For most people, the most apparent and immediate difference between other wrestling rp forums and LAW was that there are weight classes. So I thought "Well, why not do those first?"
But other people might disagree. So this is your chance to get it across to me if you do. Please vote and comment and help me decide which direction the community should collectively go in, regarding the title scene.
A small blurb on weighted belts: We do not have to do all the weight belts first. When we tackle them, I plan do it in the order of highest user activity. As it stands at the time I'm making this post the most active divisions are middleweight, then lightweight, then heavyweight. If this trend continues, middleweight will be the first of the weight belts to be introduced.
Last important point: please bear in mind that this poll is about deciding on which belt should be introduced first. It doesn't mean that if everyone says tag, there's a tag belt and a tag event tomorrow. Realistically, we won't get a tag belt tomorrow, or this week. We'll try to introduce a championship soon, based on the demand expressed and the amount of relevant user activity going on. But this thread is not a promise of a belt being introduced in the very near future. Please keep that in mind during this discussion.
