Some ideas i've suggested and other people have that sound good
1) Remove the Completed Battles list in Audio and Text, and either make a list for Battles with 0,1, or 2 votes or Make a longer Latest battles list(i know you can just search through them all) but having more up would be better, that or anything but battles that are already over
2) Lower VP for new members, Anyone who posts an 8 gets same VP as well respected voters?? Some people deserve it, and others will lose theirs eventually, just with so many it becomes a problem (Granted that would be alot of work for the staff, but so is lowering VP...Correct?)
3) Clear out the Credits back to like, let's say 15 each month(or at least one time maybe) Would possibly increase voting activity...I don't vote much when i dont have a battle open, but there would be more a "neccessity" to vote esp for the more active battlers ( Downside is if not enough battles go up, would be harder to get the credits....but theres enough battles that go up, so prob wouldn't be a problem) This idea might not even help, but it's just a suggestion
4) Change 1,2,3.....9 10 rating system to 1.1, 1.2, 1.3......9.8, 9.9......This doesn't sound like much work, and votes would be a little more accurate. It's another change that isn't needed, but why not, right? lol
5) Show who voted for who AFTER the battles closes, would be easier for members to see hate voters and DR votes and help out the staff (They do a great job spotting them already and ppl usually report the suspicious ones themselves, but might as well be open for everybody to see them after the battle ends)
6) Hide comments on battles to non-crew members and the 2 battlers themselves, until after they vote on the battle, some ppl just prob go by what other ppl are saying in some cases, and this would avoid swaying a little ( Drawback is not being able to spot the "fv gb" guys, but theres a min character change coming into effect i believe, even then we wouldnt see dumb expos, but Mods are usually on that...and we could just hit them up as we do now, when shady ones get dropped)
Just a few thoughts...Don't know how much work would be required to change these things and some ideas might not be that good or even help, but just some suggestions
