This is exactly the problem.. The block button shouldn't be a feature used to affect the outcomes of the battles AT ALL. This is how's it's being misused. The block button should be a "personal feature." Used to handle any discrepancies you may have with an individual on a personal basis. Therefore, you either shouldn't have the option to block others(because it affects voting/battle outcomes) OR blocking someone should not, then, block them from voting on your battles. But, rather, just you from seeing their posts, their being able to contact you, etc.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't finish my entire verse in 20-40 mins. In fact I actually take my sweet ass time.... now for my hours of work to be shot down by a noob or some retard that doesn't know how to vote, is discouraging for me to continue writing. Thatssall...

Like if you see my blocked list, you would honestly agree they are shit voters. Some probably have 0vp to be totally honest.

I'd call that "voter suppression" if this were politics.

As a question, though, were you prompted to make your decision about their ability to vote based primarily on votes for your battles? If so, can I ask how many of them voted against you?

Nah, for example:

I unblocked Lil LaRue during our battle, (I said I unblocked him in the shoutbox, pretty sure you saw the message to) he voted for you and that was fine, I left him unblocked.

Then I saw this:

He's now on my blocklist again. Look at everyone that voted for the losing verse there, two of them have 0VP btw.

So, your blocking him based on his voting preferences?

Just because he prioritizes different facets of rap doesn't make him a bad voter. Nor does his inflation of skill level(being new, what seems less skillful to you may seem more so to him. Or, he may be judging skill based on the perception of his own skill level.) This is true for anyone.

Aside from those factors, his vote was explained concisely enough to be understood by other voters. And he provided rationale for his decision. Flawed as you may think it is.

Voting is subjective, man. So, the above is all you can really ask for from a voter.
