The issue with whitelisting.

In my eyes the entire premise of whitelisting is to create a group of users that represent the r/streetwear community with their own high quality photos to capture their own personal style, this premise is meant to create a vision of diversity in the community. But with the current limitations to become whitelisted, the community is only holding itself back from diversification.Lets talk about the WYDWT thread. I feel as if the WDYWT for a large amount of users is just a battleground where their outfits go unnoticed and disregarded. In my opinion one of these users would be /u/topper102, he has his own personal style which fits his personality extremely well and he pulls it off in an interesting way, but when he goes into the WDYWT thread and submits his fit, he still is unable to get the required 50+ karma to count towards his total of 500 needed. Toppers photos are good quality which capture his outfits in a good way which in my opinion would only aid in the diversification of r/streetwear. There are many other posters other than Topper that I feel like would benefit to the diversification of high quality photos with personal style in the community. These users only go disregarded due to the nature of the WDYWT thread and the mass amount of users which are not open to personal style and are close minded when it comes to people pushing the limits, I also feel as if part of this is bias caused by popularity of users on the sub.Now lets talk about fit battles, VIA discord whoever wins first place in the fit battles are able to obtain the whitelist status. The issue with this is that the amount of people who contribute to the fit battles are the same people every month due to people being afraid to enter fit battles. As well as some users spam fit battles regardless of being previously whitelisted, obtaining first place multiple times, causing the issue where no one receives the whitelist.Overall I feel as if there should be more diversification towards the whitelist system, I understand that the current whitelist system is in place to prevent the previous "WDYWT spam" on the front page, but in its current state the whitelisting system is only keeping r/streetwear from benefiting from the diversification and personal style that would only cause the sub to have more quality content.Please add in your thoughts and critique to help make r/streetwear a more diverse fashion community, thank you. via /r/streetwear http://ift.tt/2zTeSqw
