Its confusing when you lose because you would think that a staff voted for you (by the way they write) and then end up losing and they you go trying to figure it out thinking maybe it was a glitch or something, just to make sure everything is in order. Its much more easier for the votes to be fully revealed either at the end of the battle or after you voted.
Otherwise you staff are making too big of an persona of yourself. Why isnt a Hall of Famers vote not concealed? or a Grand champions?...people can sway based on them also.

And get at that 8 that was sent @2FUEL

I think many of us suffer from some form of anxiety when we have an open battle and even if/when we change the coding, the anxiety will just take a different form. Right now, we're anxious because we have no idea how staff are voting. When we make all votes/comments concealed, that will just increase and we may have no clue how ANYONE has voted until the battle has closed. You wouldn't even know if someone has hate voted you and rated you a 1 and left a shitty ass comment until the battle has completed and it has affected the results. Right now, you can see it right a way and immediately report it/get it removed. From a staff perspective, having to deal with a lot of hate vote claims AFTER THE FACT (battle has closed) and possibly reviewing battles with the prospect of overturning the results will be much more of a pain in the ass than it is now. Yes, making all votes/comments concealed will get rid of the possibility of people being swayed by previous comments/votes, but I have a feeling if will create a new set of problems and it won't get rid of the anxiety/jitters that people generally feel when they have an open battle with undetermined results.

I Still Haven't Figured Out Why The Staff Acts So Unprofessional Towards Their Forum Counterpart (Topical Moderator).

Fuck Representing The Website In A Positive Manner Right?

Oh Yeah, You're "Pissed" Cause Some People Act "Childish" And "Troll" People? BUT Isn't Your Position To See Past That And Be The Mature One?

@OP They (Staff Votes) Should Either Be Shown OR Have All The Votes Concealed.

I always thought that was some Bullshit IMO......like AFTER THE BATTLE CLOSES COMPLETELY all the votes should show........That in NO WAY SWAYS ANY OTHER VOTES IF THE BATTLE IS CLOSED...........Mods Votes should have to be seen as well or like other said ALL VOTES CONCEALED

I think the most practical solution would be:
*You don't see any vote or comment unless you are one of the battlers or have voted
*As soon as you vote, you can then see the comments and the votes for everyone who has voted including staff

I don't think you guys really want ALL votes/comments to be concealed until the battle has closed. You should give it more thought. Like I mentioned before, it will raise more issues than it fixes with all the claims of hate voting, shitty ratings ect, that could otherwise have been handled during the time the battle is still open.

If everyone can agree to my proposed solution, I'll push for it to get done.
