Anybody who votes on battles, FVC, mods, whoever else ENTER! Please :)
Been looking around at battles a lot lately and noticed that yes, the FVC are doing a good job in the sense that they're active and voting frequently, what I will say though is this;
EXPOS - QUALITY VS QUANTITY.
Who are some of you trying to impress? You're spending a LOT of time talking yourselves in circles, swaying, and coming to your own explanations of what a bar meant when in some cases it's way off. Drop your vote, expo accurately and keep it relevant, offer helpful feedback etc but there is NO NEED to try and IMPRESS other people with the length of your explanations, they're there to help both members improve and give your opinion on the battle, they're not there for you to explain to the rest of the site what they meant in one of their bars, they can do that, you do not need to, especially when some of you are getting in completely wrong.
I understand some of you may be doing this because you think it's your duty as a FVC member but I can assure you are NOT inclined to HAVE to do that. If you enjoy it then continue, but maybe it would be best in a PM.
Some of you aren't even FVC and I'm assuming (maybe wrongly) that you're leaving these explanations to get noticed by Noble, to get your VP raised and to get into the FVC and then you're going to stop, that's even more annoying. Noble isn't stupid, he's more interested in the quality of your vote than how much you actually write about it.
Lastly, if you're completely established/know what you're talking about and/or a staff member and/or you're leaving long expos but you're actually being blunt and getting straight to the fucking point, then this is not aimed at you, and if you're one of these people that have left a similar expo recently please could you drop the link in this thread so some people who enjoy leaving long expos can see how it's done appropriately.
I know I just said lastly, but I lied. IF you are leaving long as fuck expos AND explaining why the verses were terrible then OKAY I've already said what I need to say to you, but if you're doing that AND THEN giving out 7s 8s 9s and 10s then I will be going around and personally lowering VP (unless you're in the FVC, then I will be passing this information on to Noble to deal with).
Any questions, hit me up. I'm only doing this because I don't want to be deleting more comments (when you're clearly spending time on it ) because people aren't happy about swaying and in some cases, they're making fair points and are 100% entitled to be unhappy about the swaying.
Peace and love.

Votes and comments on any battle should only be visible to the battlers and those who have voted. I've said this since day one. This will weed out the fickle-minded.

i give lengthy votes and always have on battles. the reason being, hip hop is an artform. if i can help someone by breaking down where i see they have errors in the art then i will always jump on that opportunately. for less important battles i write less but i always give 4 things. Constructive criticism, advice, what i like, and fav line(unless i didnt like any line). Just trying to help the art.

No, No you don't. You type long winded bullshit expo's. Talking about left hooks & right jabs. All bullshit filler. Not needed in an expo.
