You may have noticed that this particular part of the WBO has been particularly "low-quality". The days when the customisations forum was the home of interesting concepts and stimulating discussion are long gone, and we all need to take collective responsibility!
There are two main problems to be addressed. Firstly, there is a distinct drop in quality in all the threads being opened. It is simply not good enough to write out your customisation, and declare “it is goodâ€, or even worse, ask if it is good - there shouldn’t really be any threads asking whether a customisation is good if you do not have access to the parts. To rectify this, we should make a few things clear:
However, there is another problem with this forum. There is generally a distinct sense of arrogance here; members are often flippant and dismissive of suggestions, which is extremely discouraging. I’m not calling anyone out in particular over this – in fact, I’m more than guilty of this on more than one occasion. We should all do something about our attitude: if you see a new customisation, don’t just dismiss it immediately; perhaps try it out. It’s been proved time and time again that we cannot rely on theory when dealing with Beyblade customisations. We can all learn from others, so please be open-minded! If everyone sat so content, there would be no exciting customisations coming out of this forum – surprise surprise, this is our current plight.
We'll be cracking down on people who are ruining this section for others much harder now - just make sure you don't get caught out!
For a better Beycommunity, where customisation plays such a vital role in the hobby we all love – let’s improve the customisations forum!

To rectify this, we should make a few things clear:
- Explain the concept : we need to know what it is you are trying to achieve, how, in what conditions, etc. This is already in the Information Box in the Customisation Forum, so we're not sure why people aren't sticking to this!
- Please post some test results if you think your customisation has potential. Do not just say “it beats everything!â€
