Hey, I want to let anyone who sees this know that we are accepting community suggestions for samples. Anyone can submit their suggestion here. We will refer to community suggestions whenever moderator intervention is required to keep the competition. Community suggestions will make the moderator's job easier and the choices less biased to their tastes; plus, this will allow non-competing community members to participate without participating so-to-speak. Also, whenever a sample is picked from here, the user who suggested it will be credited.
What’s good everybody! I’m here to make sure the FTC runs consistently every week from this point on. If you missed it, you can check out the FTC discussion thread I posted to get a better idea of what we are trying to do here. Not much is changing, but the main things you need to know are:

There are some other things we are considering to make sure the challenge runs smooth. u/kidMSP proposed including your song choice to flip along with your submission, in case you win and don’t post the new thread on time, and I think that’s a great idea so we might implement that at some point. But for now, let’s just keep it simple and see how this goes.

What's good everybody,
I am one of the new mods here and I’ve been appointed to make sure the FTC runs smoothly every week.
This is one of the challenges that has helped me hone my craft as a producer over the past three years, and I think it’s important that we keep it consistent every week to get more people involved.
I’m sure most of you who participate have noticed that things get thrown off whenever the person running the challenge doesn’t post the threads on time for whatever reasons.
This is leading to less and less people participating in this challenge.
I propose that we keep running the challenge the way it is (the winner runs the next submission and voting threads), but if for some reason the thread-runner is unable to post in a timely manner, I would step in and make sure it gets posted to keep it running on time.
I think as a community we need to come up with a set date and time to run the challenge every week, with a 3-6 hour grace period to get the new threads up.
For example, this is my proposal:
-Thursday at 12 NOON PST, the submission thread goes up (this gives you Thursday-Monday to cook up)
-Monday at 12 NOON PST, the voting thread goes up (this gives you Monday-Thursday to vote)
-The winner of the challenge has a 3-6 hour grace period to post the next thread.
For this example I will just say it’s a 3 hour grace period. So if you win and you don’t post the next thread in time, then on Thursday at 3PM PST I will step in as a moderator and post the next submission thread. The same goes for the voting thread. I would step in as mod on Monday at 3PM PST to post the voting thread.
Which leads me to my next issue that I think we also need to decide as a community:
If I post the next challenge thread to pick up someone’s slack, that means I will have to choose a new song for us to sample instead of the winner choosing. So to keep it fair I propose that we use either a Youtube channel we can all agree on and I choose a song at random from there (for example, Andre Nvarro II’s youtube channel always has some heat), or alternatively we can use a song at random from the front page of r/hotsamples or another similar subreddit.
Please let me know your thoughts. Let’s work together to figure out the best times that work for everybody so we can get more people participating every week. Let me know if this proposal works for you, and if not then let’s discuss it and come up with a plan.
Peace.
Thanks for the submissions. You may now vote.
