Moving forward we have removed the 1-10 vote rating system. With this new feature, simply select who you feel wins the particular battle you're voting on and leave some feedback for both participants.
Our thinking behind this is that moving forward this will help combat complaints over votes as well as remove (for the most part) some members need to go and hate vote against someone who they deemed gave them a low rate for their set of bars. By being only winner/loser, it will make the battling and voting process much easier and smoother for all involved.

So you answered one of the two questions...
How are ranking points accumulated?
And now if those stars are from ratings from each vote, what are the stars for now?

And still the biggest haters count as 4 votes...smh
If you mean like the monthly ratings and such, it's based off of you win/loss ratio.
Currently, nothing for the most part. They never really did anyway. The ratings will come back eventually but for now the staff and current owner (Who has final say) agree that simplifying and streamlining is the way to go. Honestly I've NEVER seen anyone care about their ESR/Star Rating on here. Everyone has always cared what the ratings they got on their battles were but I STG I've not once seen anyone brag about having a higher Star Rating than someone else. I tried to convince X, when he was the owner, that we should be using it like an ELO system. It never happened though. I think because it would have been a logistical nightmare.
How have you been here this long and you still have no idea how the voting system works. There are 0 people whose vote counts for four votes. I'm going to explain it to you and maybe you'll get it this time.
Every user has a certain amount of points that their vote is worth. It is either 0, 1, or 2. Everyone starts with 2 points. Shitty voters have their points lowered by one over time to the point where, if they keep voting badly, their votes become worth nothing.
So say you and I battle. I get three votes and you get two. If two of the people who voted for me are people who have made bad votes in the past I might only get two points or even none for those voters. Which means if the two who voted for you are decent voters then you would win with only the two votes because you won more points.
It's kind of like boxing but if the judges decisions were weighted by how they had ranked in the past. Shitty judges scores wouldn't count for as much as judges who have scored fights more accurately and fairly.

You and Odin have 4 vp and the rest 2, and 1, and some with zero...don't act like y'all don't know you and the mods can manipulate battles. Your explaining it like it's not super duper shady, just do to the fact y'all some haters. And See when you talk stupid like "How long have you been here and don't know the voting system" That's when I keep it fuckin real....And then get banned for it "spam" gtfoh
I ain't been on here 20 straight years like y'all, there was no Corny vp..It should be everyone 1 and haters zero...bottom line. And y'all should have zero vp...real talk. And we should be able to block staff from votin. You acting like y'all votes should count more...that's a joke. Y'all don't rap or battle, and don't even listen to the battles, so would have no clue about personals and shit. Plus y'all act like regular hatin members. Completely unprofessional. Y'all are administrators of a website and make posts about dick sucking. Smh. The more y'all type shit talk, the more I'm gonna type back.
And I appreciate the expo...but you still ain't answered the ranking question. Obviously it has to do with win and losses. But where tf do the points come from exactly? Again, I wasn't around when seasonal rankings started, when the all time rankings stopped (Notice None of the haters or anyone, except Boro, and Noble are on the all time ranks) and don't go say it's because y'all stopped it. Shit only stopped 2 years ago...out of 17 years. Lol..
