Mods = Great Voters?

^This is very true, its fair to say ALMOST every battle has someone w/ 0 VP on it.

really, a mod shouldnt be a mod if he isnt a good voter . not that all mods vote anyway... but the ones we have now are merely 'alright'.

Kinda split on this. I feel like mods are in their position of authority and that should come with certain perks. Voting might be one of those perks but that's subjective.

I agree that being a mod, taking the time out to upkeep the site, should have perks. I don't believe a higher VP should be one of them though, just doesn't make sense. Their perks should not be able to change outcomes of battles, their perks should consist of whatever they need to perform their duties & vanity items like emcee items -things of that nature.

That’s another interesting point. Mods should have perks such as different access, user title, colour, maybe some emcee items or whatever ,but I don’t think something as tangible as double vp. Mods should be helping to benefit the site, and double vp sounds like more of a perk for the mod themselves rather than as something beneficial for the site, if you guys know what I mean.

If they do, it might as well be 1VP higher

I don't know how much they normally have higher

This is one of the topics that led to me quitting as a mod.

Whoops. Disregard my poll vote. I misclicked. I meant to click "yes."

What I mean by "vote consistently," isn't necessarily in regard to active voting. Something mods are DEFINITELY slacking on. But, what I mean, rather, is the ability to consistently vote well.

VP should be based entirely on voting quality. If a mod drops good votes, they get good VP. If a regular user drops equally good votes, they get equally good VP. Simple.

Of course in practice, mods would be better voters on average than regular users so they would have higher average VP.
