UNFAIR VOTING/ UNFAIR BLOCKING

People generally dont like having low vp. If they want it raised a mod will tell them to send them a number of examples of their good votes with expos. The culptit can be alerted that their vp was lowered due to buddy/hate voting and that it will be lowered again if it continues.

Heres a few ways this helps. 1) Less blocking means more voting. Id rather have a dude with no VP vote on my battle than have them blocked so they cant. We all want more votes right? 2) It allows people who are tempted to shit vote to see that its noticed and give them a chance to remedy that and improve = more good voters. 3)i think there was a 3 but i forgot somewhere between 1 and 2 what it was.

i think for now, mods can take action and make sure to deal with vp (which i think they do a good job with) as for blocking and almost everything else i think i've come up with a pretty good idea on how to fix that. in fact for this entire thread i think we already have the answer but it's never been applied quite right

the fair voters club needs many more members. basically round up every single one of the best voters on the site and put them in, everyone has to vote on at least 60 percent of battles posted. if we get like 20 members in there, this site could turn around quick. people will want to have their vp as high as them so they'll be inclined to vote better. imma go ahead and make a thread about this
