Yea I was in because I paid ok? You proved your point happy? That has nothing to do with the whole conversation congrats on wasting a post. Also a revolving door policy is stupid you can let idiots in and out your guys choice.

Well, after all this discussion, it seems that I may prefer the Smash Broom instead of the plain Broom. So I don't even know why I'm posting in here anymore.LoL

Unless it's pretty much the same, which it basically is as far as I can tell. Not exactly, but similar.
It's not at all the same.

Smash Back Room is about Smash. Back Room is about stuff that's not Smash.

That's why I said BASICALLY. I meant that it is all "secret" and stuff where other people can't post stupid things. I know that they have different subjects.

<3, Eor!

But on topic. The reason for my using the Temp Debater status to beef up the DH is because of two major things. For one, the Debate Hall is a room of intelligent topics and is usually intimidating. With temp status you are asked to post and prove yourself with the other guys and it forces you to get over that fear. Secondly, debating is something comparable. Some people can't articulate points as well as others, can't back up their points, or flame. Thusly, they aren't allowed in.

The Broom is like a social club with restricted membership to keep it special and unique. When we allowed premium members to have instant access we lost that uniqueness instantly. There was no mystery to the room and thusly there was no reverence within the room. I remember applying with Treget (yes, Ole Treget) and talking to him for a while before I got in. Once I got in I was pretty worried of making topics or posts so I raised my standards. Premium members just got in without any real proving themselves and bought their way in. This is why I think the Premie VIP should be their private room and we, the Broomers who can view it, should use that as our pool FIRST for taking in new members. Then the general consensus. So , they are still moving themselves up to be noticed by paying, but still must prove themselves.

As for speaking English, I say, yes, you have to be able to speak English to get into the Broom. This site is probably 95% in English (I made that up), so of course most members will speak it. If you can't articulate in a language all can understand, it will kill most conversations.

I still think keeping topics like this alive are great to get member feedback and interest up.

You're out of the BRoom, EE will take over your Modding duties.

Religious/political views don't affect BRoom entry in the slightest.

And McCloud, that's exactly what we've said when people ask. The more you want in, the less likely you're going to get in.
Says the guy who misspells button in his avatar

On topic: I've always slightly wanted to be in the Broom, solely because HMP22 got in. He lives down the street from me.

Maybe I've never really asked, so I guess I'll do so now. Can I come in pls? :)

Will people STOP quoting a big picture just to say ONE SENTANCE?

Like someone said, all it means is now the characters that they decided not to use now have a second chance. I didn't like the idea of "helper characters" much myself, (though I did like them in Jump Ultimate Stars) but I've had time to think about it ,and it's prety cool. And like every other item, they can be turned off, so no biggie.

I feel the need to point out, as I always do, that I paid my way into the broom :)

A couple other quick things before I get 4 hours of sleep:

1) The broom does have a lot of say in who gets in. Just not final say. Hiemie and I try to let in 1-3 members based solely on Broom recommendations each round.

2) The rule "if you want in you don't get in" is misunderstood. It's an urban legend. Really, it boils down to the fact that someone who ONLY wants into the Broom is not someone who is improving the boards. If someone's sole goal is to get Broom access, and they will leave Smashboards if they don't get it, then they are here for the wrong reasons. We are a Smash Brothers board that has a tight-knit community inside of it. So, if you find yourself surrounded by idiots, I can promise you: broom access won't help.

That's kind of creepy, if you think about it.

I agree with most of the Broomers on this one. The BRoom is a tight knit community within a public forum where we can talk about things that we cannot talk about on the rest of the site. It's a place to relax with others who are also capable of quality posting. Allowing a "revolving door" policy would cheapen that. At the same time, many non-BRoomers put the BRoom up on a pedestal, and to them, I just have to say that it's not as amazing as they might think it is.

As for speaking English, I say, yes, you have to be able to speak English to get into the Broom. This site is probably 95% in English (I made that up), so of course most members will speak it. If you can't articulate in a language all can understand, it will kill most conversations.
Hey! Remember Fire Stick? He may have paid in, but didn't we let him stay because he was well-liked?

The thing about the BRoom is that it's this amazing, secret place that nobody can access and if they don't want access to it, they MIGHT get in. What I'm saying is that it would lose its lust if people could look at what's in there if even for just a second effectively destroying their curiousity and desire for entry.

Also, it seems as though several BRoomers post private stuff in there and I don't believe its right for their privacy to be revealed to possibly immature people (not saying all BRoomers are mature, in fact, I'm not saying that at all) where they could be ridiculed or ridiculed further (assuming a BRoomer may have ridiculed them).

I'll admit, I desired entry for a little while but I can care less anymore. In fact, I seem to have made my place as a permanent PRoomer. When you think my name, you think of the Pool Room. So ultimately, whatever you decide to do with this is completely up to you but I don't think its a good idea if you want the BRoom to be interesting to non-BRoomers.

I'm the kind of guy that likes to sit back and watch things happen. I don't want to be able to predict what will happen. I never saw Virg and Wobbles becoming BRoomers coming. That suspense and spontaneous nature of the BRoom in and of itself is interesting to see from my perspective. I've already come to terms with the fact that I'll never be a BRoomer and I actually feel better since when I think about it, I'm a PRoomer no matter what.

So I can honestly say, in an unbiased manner, that this idea would be bad.

Edit: To further my point, pikachun00b7.

This debate is over.

Yeah, I believe FlareBlade paid to get in and when his membership was up we chose to renew him. Also, Wak was made a moderator/broomer and he's obviously not a native speaker. But most of the time, crap language is a symptom of a poster's laziness. It's not like we're trying to keep foreigners out.

I think the description on the main forums page is basically right. To be an "excellent poster" you have to consistently put thought into your posts. Keep in mind that your post might be read by hundreds of people, don't waste their time.

The basic qualities you need to become a broomer:

Smart
Funny
Friendly
Knowledgable
Friends with Scav
Australian
Eloquent
Outstanding Achievement in the field of Excellence
Posts often

Now you don't need all of these qualities, as some obviously contradict each other (Australians can't be eloquent, and you won't achieve anything in the field of excellence if you hang out with a lazy vagrant like Scav) but I'd say you need 4 of those qualities. They might seem subjective but that's why we have a broad nomination process rather than one or two people deciding everything.

If you feel like you don't have the right build to become a broomer you might find that aiming for a class promotion to Moderator is a better route for you if you have high INT and DEF but very low S. HUM.

No.
1. This will flood the Broom.

2. (This point goes in conjunction with #1.) The Broom is supposed to be privet. Gideon(I hope I spelled that right.) could have just made non Broomers view the Broom and not post in it. But he didn't. Do you think it is for a reason.

3. j00 n33d 2 sp311!!1- M.P.C.S.S.W.
Most
Proomers
Can't
Spell
Small
Words

You need to have perfect English to join the Bathroom(what the Broom really stands for). Most Proomers make an unbelievable reputation that they failed English in First Grade.(I also make many grammatical mistakes.)

4. What is wrong as being recognized as being intelligent? Are you sad that they didn't invite
you to their bathroom? We have a bathroom too! It is just drenched in urine. And half of the stalls don't work.... while the Broom are the bathrooms with motion sensor flushing, Clean air, an old bathroom attendant(I guess that would be Scav?), and they pee IN the urinals. Seriously Proomers, can you AIM in the **** Urinal(yes it's singular) for once( perhaps this is a metaphor to the post quality of the Proom). I almost tripped on it. It smells so badly. The stench is overwhelming. We don't have a Bathroom we have a Peeroom(Proom)

A good reason I will never become a Broomer is:
Corny, hateful, unsatisfactory,( What's a Scav?... Oh! The dying Broom attendant), American,
barbaric, but I am outstanding.....( Wait, did I miss something? Nah... )

EDIT:
Edit: To further my point, pikachun00b7.
And? You seemed to fail at elaborating your point, so I'll do it for you.

Edit: To further my point, pikachun00b7. He is the greatest member on teh internets. He is so great SWFers keep coming here to read his posts. If he wasn't a member smashboards will be dead. Why? No one likes SSBM anymore.

I have two important points to make.
One:
We have a bathroom too! It is just drenched in urine. And half of the stalls don't work.... while the Broom are the bathrooms with motion sensor flushing, Clean air, an old bathroom attendant(I guess that would be Scav?), and they pee IN the urinals. Seriously Proomers, can you AIM in the **** Urinal(yes it's singular) for once( perhaps this is a metaphor to the post quality of the Proom). I almost tripped on it. It smells so badly.

Sexual favors? I tried that. Crimson King left his money in his other pants. When Pimpachu(one of Pika's costumes in SSBM) found out, he used his pimp slap (jab attack) on that poor guy.

pikachun00b7 made me giggle for a little bit. XD

Anyways, I disagree with closing this thread. This thread will probably help a lot of people who are curious about the Back Room (and it answered a few "questions" of mine).

How about something interesting? Like the smash senate. I'm quite curious about that.
Seriously, I think we should stop thinking too much about the Broom. It's a **** Bathroom.
I am not a member, so it lacks win. Concentrate on being a better poster. If you think you will never get in due to bad reputation in the past, then you are wrong. It is never to late to change your posting habits.

If you change some people WILL notice and it may be a Broomer. Rest of SWF>>>>>>>>Broom.

NOTE: I didn't put my 2 cents in. I probably put in a dollar.

If Pikachun00b7 is a cup, and this post is a cup, then this website is not a cup

If Pikachun00b7 is a cup, and this post is a cup, then this website is not a cup
So if both me and post #2539045 are both cups. Then SWF(Which consists of both me and your post) is not a cup. So that means there must be an Item in SWF that is not a cup..... no no that is faulty logic.

SWF{ Pikanoob, post 2539045,......}
Pikanoob= cup
post=cup
SFW is not a cup.....
Simplify
SWF{cup, cup......}
Then the missing items MUST not be a cup. But SWF consists of cups. SWf could be CUPS so,
SWF{Cups,.......}
Hmmmmm. my 13 year old brain is ********

Oh wait!

SWF consists of cups and Items, but the missing Items are not all cups but CAN consist of cups as long if one or more item(s) are not cups.

EDIT: The # of cups can range form 2 to SWF- one item. So let me denote # items that are NOT cups by L. And # cups N. and S as number of total # in SWF. S= N+L N>2 or N=2
and L>1, L=1, L< S-2, L= S-2. (K will be an integer )
if n=K, L= S-k. Can I expand on this?

Yes, yes I can!
A little key if you are confused:
Missing Items= ALL of the Items in SWF that is not me, or your post.
Items: Me, your post, and the missing items. The entire SWF.

There CAN be more cups in the missing Items. But at least one Items in the missing items must NOT be a cup to make this website not a cup since all the Items that are not missing items ARE cups.

Scav, do you want me to expand this into calculus?

This conversation gets more and more confusing, we go from the gilmore girls to cups and items, subjects fly by when you're having some fun I guess!

Ugh. I don't like this thread. It's great PRoom conversation, but deep down, it makes me feel like an incompetent failure.

Before, I always thought I wasn't in the BRoom because I haven't really gotten to know any of the members here. I was fine with that...

But in reality, it's probably because one day, someone nominated me, and after a careful sorting of my pros and cons, I was denied access.

Makes me think. Was I denied by only 51% or 99% of BRoomers? It's kind of freaking me out, because, am I really as bad as the average PRoomer?

I know I'm not supposed to think about stuff like this, but whoever says they aren't is lying. Especially when there's a whole thread about how to become a PRoomer, what we're doing wrong, and what we can do to improve.

Edit: Pikachun00b7, you need to learn when to stop.

Wow, that really made me think, serously. Did you mean to go that deep into your post? I think I know the reason you were nominated. Anyway, I don't completely think it's a bad thing to post here in the PRoom, but I don't think it's something to brag about either. I mean, I don't strive to get there, and I know a good amount of the members here, my own personal reason to post here isn't to get into any password protect area or anything, it's what I've been doing the whole time, getting to know the community as a whole, and be the best I can be at SSBM.
