if someone is doing multis you know damn well you'd never be able to pull off, stop being a smart ass with the low votes and give them that higher rating because they EXCEL at something. someone could have a battle with amazing punches and rhyme 2 syllables. I wouldnt give them a 7 if the punches were fresh & hard hitting

You're basically going into a rap battle expecting everybody to have a perfect verse the way you picture a perfect verse...if that's what its gonna take to get a 9 or a 10 then you'll never give anyone a 9 or 10...

just look at live battle leagues...the winner doesn't necessarily have the best multis or the best punches. delivery usually plays the biggest part and whatever they did great aside from delivery is 2nd

As far as I am concerned, adding new features to LB is equivalent to taking an ugly, fat, old hog and applying a thick layer of lipstick on it. This site is running on software that's... what... a decade old? Somewhere in that area. Some features are newer than that but the core is more ancient than those spirit masters in occult lodges.

The site is noticeably slower than most modern forums. It doesn't feel slick, new, or interactive at all. It's undoubtedly insecure. Many links and features don't work. Guides written in the mid-2000's about aspects of the site that no longer exist are still among the first things a total n00b will find.

If you take a Model T and install a luxury audio system, will that make the car run any faster? Will it make it more fuel-efficient, or more comfortable to ride in? Will it increase the engine horsepower? No...

What LB needs is a complete overhaul. Don't add any new features. Just hire a professional web design outfit to come in and create a minimalist design that does everything it needs to, but no more. I'd advocate for updating the vBulletin software, but the modifications used for things like battling and voting are so extensive that doing this is probably impossible.
