Mods = Great Voters?

Being a mod, doesn't make you a good voter. Should mods VP be higher than everyone elses?

Please answer in the poll, and discuss your thoughts below - if you would like.

I agree. I think a better way to do it would be, the more titles the more vp. Someone who has won multiple tourneys would know what to look for. While someone with a mod title isn't guaranteed to be the best battler or voter.

Not a bad idea, I think the mods are "fair" as they are staff, but that shouldn't necessarily mean that their votes should outweigh someone who is equally knowledgeable, just without the mod title.

I like the titles idea though.

Voting no. I don’t think being a good mod is in anyway correlated to being a good battler or voter. (Not saying mods ARENT these things, but I don’t believe it’s a hand in hand thing) I don’t think they should be able to sway a battle that much, considering how most battles are ending with 4-6 votes these days. Factor in a couple of those votes being 0 vp and mods are able to basically single handedly decide battles. Besides, the FVC is coming out and so there’ll be a squad of dedicated voters with increased vp anyway.

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'.

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

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.

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.

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.
