The handling of the situation is adequate for what the series is, however this won't be considered a GTM personal tournament as it doesn't fully follow regulations. In effect, you came into our house with a game of Cluedo trying to play your own house rules and we play standard.
Just to make clear I have no issues with Banter Wars and its great that many people enjoy it, but please don't be led into thinking any of us do this as more than a hobby. Perhaps it's just a difference in the way GTM is compared to other social boards.
Thank you for your efforts in resolving this ahog, and apologies for my reaction. I'm sure you can understand the situation.

And RW is an entertainment show before a competition, just as people are claiming this series is.
There's a fundamental difference or two between Banter Wars and Robot Wars. You're clever enough to figure them out yourself.
Yeah, you wouldn't make a video complaining about banter wars :)

This whole incident disgusts me.
Overreaction? Are you joking me?
If someone made us take batteries out of Neutron and spin the disc the wrong way there would be an outcry.

It's clear the people saying Badnik is overreacting clearly do not understand GTM tournaments, and are basically brand new. Probably love Redditbots too.
Will be monitoring this thread heavily. This needs to be amended and no more said.

I think it's better to just leave things be until we know the full story.
And yes, 6 episodes. Standard BBC run.

I feel like there's a lot more to this story than just the 1 side so take it all with a pinch of salt.

A lot of the big names aren't happy about the short timeframe. Thankfully we kinda expected it after last time.
I have a feeling it might end up airing more than once a year but we'll see how successful this series is first.

Still more notice than last series, hah. Everyone who has already been building in preparation for a potential new series is fine.

We introduced a clause to allow conditional extensions depending on circumstances long ago to remove that sort of panic stress. 2 Week Technical Extensions can be granted on proof that the host has experienced technical issues while running the tournament.
Discretionary Conditional Extensions may also be granted, on proof that the tournament has been making progress closely previous to the deadline. This will mean you will have to upload at least 6 videos a week until the tournament is complete, and will not gain a Host Score point, however will mean you do not lose 1 from letting the deadline lapse.

As for the time limit, I'd personally rather go into the other direction of removing limits and instead asking people if the Tournament was still going on and then deciding if a thread should be locked/time limit given, think it just scares away members.
Not a good idea. Removing limits is removing any reason for the host to finish the tournament in a timely matter. It kinda comes down to who you want to treat better. The hosts, or the many many members who enter. If you remove limits and tournaments don't finish in a timely matter the members who entered are honestly wronged. We have many hosts and the hosts are made aware they are doing this off their own back in accordance with the rules, they shouldn't be letting entrants down if they have agreed to host a tournament.

That signups box is actually a really good idea, bring a bit more attention to what's going on.

Just be like all the other IRL builders back in the day and use a custom skirt hinge for a flipper, lol.
He is :P

Okay guys I think we can all stop. It has been established that the current pack is just the rwra2 bursts, so I'm going to lock the thread to prevent further flaming on both sides.
Kix, please let me know if you ever want to reopen this thread with more contributions.

Of course it'll work on every mod, it's just a burst motor. Doesn't make it a legal component.

Was making progress and then something came up. Should be explained by an announcement tomorrow.
