Us dropping our vote is a stop guard to ensure a fair battle.

I agree, however, that not all mods are as qualified voters as others. Mod VP should not be exempt from review. Maybe certain mods - champions, FVC, active battlers within the last year - should hold the 6VP as they clearly have a more technical grasp and have proved deserving of a higher VP; if there are any text battles that require mod vote/intervention these mods are first point of call.

Just spit balling, but yeah, I concede you do have a point there.

So the reason a mod should have higher VP, is to single handedly decide the outcome of a battle they feel is "wrong"? In that case, why isn't everyones VP the same? You guys cant get at EVERY robbery.

I dont feel anyone should be bumped up or anything based on status. Champions, staff etc (which FVC being an obvious exception). I think the only real point is the "active battlers within the last year". People who show they can vote educatedly, using expos which are helpful and show what they know their shit. Also they'd have to vote a lot.
