Understanding VP (Vote Power) and how it works.

[Affinity]

VP is fine, but everyone has to start voting better, not just the weirdos with 0 vp. Even the moderators who have 3 that drop votes like:

"that was a good read, clearly felt one more due to the effectiveness of their punches and how clean their multies are. Fairs in"

^^that, is a trash vote and it's pretty much what everyone does these days since it's monkey see monkey do out here. I'm not suggesting every bar needs a breakdown, but be better.

That’s fair as hell. I’m guilty of this at times. Ima try to be more specific with critique and feedback when I’m voting.

You're absolutely right, I try to give specific feedback on every battle but a lot of the time I slip into the cliches and don't say much useful.

That being said, I think there's a bit of a trade-off between vote quantity and quality, I've been trying to cover every single text battle and whenever I sit down for the night at the start I'm full of energy but by the end I don't have the mental patience to go picking a BOTB between two new users. Would be interested to hear from some of the newer users whether they prefer more votes on a battle, or fewer votes better explained.

I think it's perfectly normal to have voter fatigue. Recognizing it is 99% of the battle, and just making the active choice to not vote yet is the other 1%. I'm guilty of it as well.

Personally, I don't think you for Esso fall into the category of problem voters because of the 1 in 20 times you make one that isn't wildly detailed. It's the vast majority of the rest though that are problematic and make votes like I mentioned before virtually every single time. I'm a believer the only solution is to push our peers to be better, even if it's when someone is voting for you in a battle. There's nothing wrong with asking for additional information to support their vote, given the explanation it's to better the site as a whole.

Idk, just my 2 cents.
