Sounds good.. all of it. I'd even go as far as saying don't allow "no sway" votes. If you're swayed by someone else's breakdown.. then you shouldn't be voting in the first place. Also, if you aren't intelligent enough to at least explain who you voted for in a sentence or two.. again, you shouldn't be voting.
What I really think needs to happen: All votes and comments (even those made by mods) should be HIDDEN until you cast a vote. There is absolutely ZERO reason for anyone other than a mod to see others' votes before their own has been given. This would also encourage others to explain their votes... since they can't just look at someone else's vote and say "Yeah, what he/she said. It was close. Fair vote."
Also, as far as "no sway" is concerned.. either make it so you can't COMMENT until you VOTE... or some Text Mods need to start cleaning up all this crew spam repping shit. We know what crew you're in.. we see it by your name. Fifteen of your fucking crew members don't need to clog your battle with them saying "_______ crew is the best WE GOT DIZ SHIT" or whatever the fuck corny catchphrase of the week you've picked up. When lames come to vote and see 500 kids in the comments rooting for their own crew, they'll be inclined to drop a vote for them. Keep that fucking shit in the forums and out of battles.
