Restructuring the Moderator voting criteria?

There's been a persistent problem in the structure of the way in which we expect moderators to vote on battles.(Not in how they vote, or who they vote for. But, in what battles they're voting on.)

Battles sometimes remain open days after they're scheduled to end because of a lack of votes. And this has been a continual problem for a considerable period of time. A method previously used to mend this problem was the fair voter's club, but, this is a flawed system, as this type of issue is exactly what moderators are for, in conjunction with their technical duties.

Because of this, we should restructure the way in which we expect moderators to vote. By placing their predominant focus on battles both on the closing soon list, and the recent battles list(that aren't hotlisted.), assuring that these battles all get the minimum required number of votes to be closed.


What do you guys think?

Additionally, perhaps using a voting quota per month for moderators is an additional step to aiding this issue.

Voting quotas never work, but yeah I always voted on battles ending soon first.

I think it depends on the size of the quota, and the individual it's assigned to. I mean, if you're really willing to help, to the point that you've gotten a moderator spot, a mandatory 20 battles a month should be nothing.

i try to vote like this and pay attention to whats closing but Ill admit I could be better at it....part of the issue is til the past week we haven't seen most of the mods on a consistent basis. Whether it be the prior direction of things, real life obligations or whatever, we all havent been around as much.

20 battles a month? That's not too much to ask at all.

5 mods. 20 battles a month. That's 100 battles a month. 150 if you make it 30 battles. That's almost every battle a month(maybe more than every battle) with the current activity getting enough votes to hotlist.

You typed a lot of unnecessary shit lol. Most recent / ending soon should be priority, agreed.
