RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

Voting in Battles:

if you are going to vote in a battle you have to read the rules (and obviously listen to the audios)

You have to comply with the rules - eg if your in the same crew as one of the battlers and the "no crew votes" applies you can not vote.

you will have to explain your vote, if you dont explain your vote properly your vote will be disallowed by a Moderator.

Any votes that are based on anger against one of the battles will be disallowed automatically and will be spotted by a Moderator. This is known as "hate votes".

If you are going to listen to a song then please make sure the file is a .mp3 file or a .wma file do NOT download or attempt to listen to .exe files or any other file time as they may contain virus's.

Uploading of songs:

Currently THAPROJECT cannot host your audio files for you so you will have to find another website to host the files for you. You can go HERE

Please post .mp3 or .wma files only.

Premium Account holders can upload files with the file upload button, this is located on the top right of the post form.
Note: There is a file size limit of 2000kb, so any files larger than this will have to be hosted elsewhere.

Battle Titles:

Battles should be named as following:

*name* Vs *name*

If they have already battled each other put "round2" or which ever battle number is it, at the end like:

*name* Vs *name* (Round 2)

Please use the username of your opponent. Please dont 'edit' there name to offend them.
Any wrong names will be changed by the moderators.

Default Battle Rules:

You have to explain the rules... like how long the Audio should be, number of votes etc.
Here is a list of the default rules:

Minimum Length (Time): 1mins
Maximum Length (Time): none ( roast em )
first to 5 votes wins
3 KO
dickride votes are not allowed
crew votes are not allowed
biting is not allowed
any beat goes people

These rules apply if it is not stated in the first post of the battle.

Number of Battles:

Battlers may only have 4 battles max at any one time, any extra battles will be locked until your limit has gone down.
Do NOT contact a moderator when your limit is down, they will re-open your battle in there own time.

up-ing Battles:

Uppin battles can clog up battles, and is very annoying

You are ONLY allowed to 'up' your battle every 24hours
and you are NOT allowed 'up' a battle twice in a row.

Failing on this would result in your 'ups' being deleted
continuing may even result in your battle being locked!

Finished Battles:

When your battle has finished and there is a clear winner, the battle will be closed by a moderator and your score will be updated.
Scores are done manually and so are only done once your battle is moved to the "Audio Battle Archive". If your battle is still in the battle field forum your battle has not yet been closed, and so your score has not yet been updated.
Please do allow reasonable time for your battle to be closed. if your battle hasnt been closed for more than 48hours then you are permitted to post the link in the thread "Battles That Need Closing" please allow time for it to be closed after posting, if your battle hasnt been closed for over a week please then and only then contact a moderator to notify them of this. if you pester moderators with battles to be closed you may find your self being ignored and your battles will be left till last, or just left all together.

Warning:

DO NOT CALL PEOPLE OUT IN THIS BOARD
this is for AUDIO BATTLES only
you may have your post deleted if it is in the wrong forum
