And give the opponent who originally had 0 votes the win. Ive seen it happen, and its happened to me. When a mods vote can be stronger than 4 regular members vote, there is a problem. Mods and fvc rarely vote on audio battles outside of tournaments. So if you're wondering why the audio section is dead, its because of the mods being in favor of text battles., you included..

& those who have proven themselves to be good voters, should not overpower 3-4 other voters, people have different ways of judging battles. Personally I listen for the verse that would get better crowd reaction if it was a live event in today's standard of battle rap. I think there should only be +1 and +2 vp..but hey..people who are already mods/fvc will obviously argue my opinion because they don't want new mods.

I understand where you're coming from, for the most part. I know I don't speak for all when I say this...but, When you're an FVC member and have proven yourself to be an educated and skilled voter...Why would you have the same Voting Power as the guy who barely explains his vote and doesn't try to. FVC member have an increased voting power for a reason, They're some of the best and most educated voters on the site who take time to answer requests.

Also, the problem w/ the audio side (In terms of voting) is that the majority of audio guys are the majority of bad voters. (FV, VB etc) or they barely drop an expo. So many audio guys w/ 0 voting power because they 1. Don't care enough to drop an expo 2. Don't care that they have 0vp 3. Just want the credit/ are uneducated voters. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that everyone is, but the majority are.

A lack of mod voting isn't the reason why the audio side is dead more than usual. It's that no one is putting out their best material. The majority of the battles are half-assed freestyle battles.There aren't as many big names battling each other on the audio side (Other than tournaments) I agree though, I need to start really dropping more votes on the audio side (Same w/ some mods) However, I get lots of requests from people to drop votes on battles...95% of the time it's a text battle. I assume it's the same for other mods who also drop the majority of votes on text. If I would get requests/IM's/PM's from audio battlers...I would gladly check the battle out. Once again I assume other mods would too.
