Ah, selective quoting. Nice. What that part actually said, with some added emphasis, was:

"We all love to reserve our battle ideas, but sometimes it can get out of hand. Some people reserve ‘em, but then go inactive or worse, semi-active. Some, who I term “battle mills,” reserve all the ideas they have, and do so many that they have to auction some off."

- OP

And, since there's a nice chunk of paragraph between them:

"It’s the people who reserve battle ideas but are only active once in a blue moon, preventing others from doing them; the people who put quantity ahead of quality, and have written almost as many or more battles in their few months on this site as I have in my three years here."

- OP

Should be clearer.

I feel that users should be able to renew their delayed battles, because what would happen if the author started the blog post soon before the expiration date, and it expired during the voting period?

"And note that the 18 months/year/2 years thingie only applies to getting the blog up, not the battle."

That help? I'll remove the hyperbole/fearmongering and get you your next question:

If a user manages to complete a battle even when the expiration date for his next few battles is approaching, I think the author should be given a chance to go through with what ever other battles they had lined up soon after, since they've just shown renewed determination to go through with it.

"Maybe, once the period passes, the author can choose to re-reserve that battle after a week or month or something?"

- My first reply to this thread

And I thought I made it quite clear that this was for  reservations only  . Apparently not; what this expiry date means is that battles not posted within the date are considered fair game for others to use. Nothing more, nothing less.

And there you go, Hayden. That should clear up any misunderstandings you had, deliberate or otherwise.
