The Fair Voters Club.

I just pick the one that surrounded their rhymes by the most symbols tbh.

The problem with the FVC was that it was too easy to bullshit your way into without _ACTUALLY_ being a fair voter. This could be remedied by simply having a person review the WAY the fvc members vote both before being included and semi-regularly after, and the subsequent removal of those who are shitty examples of fair voters. To my view it was just inefficiently ran in some aspects, it was a great concept. Though, admittedly less great when the active userbase caps at 30 max.

So, perhaps it should be on the backburner for now.

I think the problem is that the aspect of dealing with people who just don't give a fuck about regularity and will just vote how they feel like is hard to judge. Judge as in assign people as superior voters. People will absolutely bullshit to get in a "club", vote a certain way (long expos, line by line breakdowns) but then they get lazy (What "blank" said, you know I'm always fair, super close battle here guys but fairs in) type shit but they will still rock the title and colored name like a boyscout badge. I feel like a standard or guideline would just encourage further doppelgangers.

As opposed to having a strict set of battles TO vote on.

I liked the focus on more popular battles BUT maybe it would work as a hidden group, the titles and colored names take away from the prestige of essentially having a higher VP then most members. They could be PM'd informing them of their higher VP and maybe a bi-weekly or weekly PM of current battles and not make it mandatory but at least vote on half of the battles within a month.

Judging a battle is only subjective if you make it so. I judge battles by objectively asking myself what takes more skill / effort? And go in depth on the intricacies of a verse. It takes a higher knowledge / understanding / experience cap nonetheless but it is definitely fair.

You actually know how to battle though, this isn't a witch hunt to say who's a bad voter (clearly not you champ) this is for the weasels who make their way in the FVC, well my whole point is. I agree with your point on judging a battle isn't subjective, it should always be viewed as a non-biased party, I meant picking people who are good voters is subjective, hence the past FVC members.
