LB Changes Suggestions

[exZACHly]

This site is in need of some changes that i think will help:

1) Stop starting members with 2VP (or do they start with 1VP?) You should have to earn your voting power not be given it then lose it later (which is the case A LOT of times) Don't think you could just start at 0 however. So yeah you should start with 1, a decimal system (0.1, 0.2.....1.9, 2.0) would be cool but that might be too much work for coding or w/e LB would need to do for that

2) Have a DAILY limit on number of battles each member can do (think there's what 100 monthly allowed?) but sometimes people go spam crazy or it's like the same 2-4 people on EVERY open (which is fine if they're the only active battlers, but let that happen a little slower) 3 battles per day should be plenty imo (which is close to monthly limit anyways)

3) Maybe have Written/Freestyle sections separately for Audio...In relation to #2 here (and not hating on Freestyles as i enjoy to listen and also do) Written battles are a little more uncommon and end up getting buried by the massive amounts of Freestyle battles that happen...Do we really need an unranked section? Best way to learn how to swim is jumping in...so get rid of that imo (also on Text side it could possibly have the Tournament battles there or something) Although currently it doesn't even matter given the voting activity on Audio side anyways

4) Maybe do like a credit reset each month (this might be unfair to the active voters in a way) i have enough to last a lifetime, but still actually vote...Definitely can see why some people don't feel the need to though...Not necessarily back to 10 credits but yeah we can't trade them in so what's the point. Shouldn't matter regardless of how many you have (if you battle, you should go vote) Don't really see the harm in this though

5) Get rid of the blocking system, if somebody you think is a 'bad' voter (or why ever you're blocking them) you should have to deal with them like we all do (which is why they shouldn't start with 2 VP as previously mentioned) i mean if someone is just trolling the shit out of your page or something i can see, but you can just delete comments anyways so don't see why you need to block anybody (i'll admit i blocked a few when 1st joined, but that's because i didn't know about the VP system) so yeah in time they'll drop to 0 VP if they're proven 'bad' voters

6) Personal battles: Kind of have 2 separate ideas on this. First off if someone sends you something when you're not ready...Not a problem IF by time you respond that would be the latest battle as it should be (not buried because 10+ battles took place in the meantime) and Secondly i don't think you should be able to see/hear what is sent either, but kind of torn on that because you wanna know what you're up against...maybe just don't allow 'Flipping' or something (rebuttals are cool, but these are 1 round battles so only 2nd person has opportunity to do so) i dunno this imo isn't as important as 1st point made

Just a few of thoughts, prob some other things that could happen as well but don't wanna write a Novel here LOL. Move this if need be and/or feel free to add on or hate

I like basically all your ideas except this one .....I can't be down with due to my outrageous amount of credits & still being an active voter.... lmao... I'd rather see a credit store where you can exchange credits for MC items or voting awards or something silly like that... I mean MC items and awards aren't a big deal enough to make such an idea controversial... unlike if you could buy a title (that would not be seen as a positive b¥ those who earned their titles). Most old heads already have credits and items, but it might motivate users generally to vote more. I have 266 credits and still vote like a champ... but I would spend them to dress my MC up in more digital shits that V3numb and others put time into.... lol

Just a fun idea... I actually already suggested this, but no one seemed to give a fuck although it wouldn't be so difficult to program due to not changing current site set up and logistics, etc.

Yeah i feel you, was gonna suggest voter of the month reward, but that could possibly lead to people voting without caring about battles and just wanting title lol...Credit store sounds pretty cool...Have battles where you wager credits haha

Yeah that's like the exception plus it leaves that damn 'this message was deleted' too. Maybe people should lose their 'posting' rights if they troll profiles are something. Save others from it haha
