Default As a Newcomer, I'd like to share my biggest 3 problems with this site

I've been here maybe a little bit over a month and am only here because I love this shit. That said, I honestly think addressing these 3 problems will make battling here better for everyone.

1- Voting Criteria:
Multis take precedence over every other aspect of battling and writing on this site. Multis are extremely important but I think they should be PART of the criteria, not MOST of the criteria. Multis, punches, creativity, scheming are all important and should be equal on the scale of judging. You can't give one guy a W because he rhymed more syllables even though he just said generic shit for 4 bars. This is battle rap, not a syllable counting competition and you're taking away from the art form if you're constant rewarding MFers who just "rhyme to rhyme"

2- Generic Voting:
I won't say any names , but this is not a real vote
"Both guys stood toe to toe and the other just couldn't take anymore, fairs in yO"

That's not a fucking vote. If you aren't actually critiquing the writing then don't vote. Mods should reinforce this somehow or maybe have designated voting mods instead of anyone being able to vote just because they have an account.

3- Higher ranked battlers preying on low hanging fruit:
If you're higher ranked, whether that be 5, 10, 20 or whatever, you should want to battle guys ranked near you and higher than you. If you think you're the best , you shouldn't be only battling unranked newcomers who haven't even realized they should cap their punches just so you can keep padding your record. That's some pussy ass shit.I want to battle only the best because I think I'm the best. That's the way it should be.

That's all home team. Appreciate y'all.
