There's Always People Complaining About Dick Riding. I.M.O I Think That One Of The Reasons Is Because People Like To Make Up Catagories To Make It Look Like The Other Person Came Out On Top.

So, I Figured We Could Take A Poll, An See If This Is A Good Idea Or Not.

Yes-If You Think There Should Be Voting Rules Applying The Main Catagories Folks Should Look For.
No-If You Think It Don't Matter An Let People Make Up There Own Catagories

Another Reason I Figured It'd Be A Good Idea To Do This, Cuz A Lot Of People Say That Wordplay And Nameplay Are The Same Catagory Just Different Names, And Folks Vote On Both.

i don't think we have a voting problem personally. So I'm not going to put input in this.

Also, I Want Explanitory Reasons If You Choose No.

i think yes and i voted yes cuz isnt this what rap is about?following guidelines even with battling?if u start makin shit up ppl gonna think its ok and do it themselves ya no?so i voted ye -1-

Let me say this much about making up categories.

If you make up categories and out weight the weak categories. Like lets say vocabulary & similies and try to say that them out weight the punches and personals. Is obviously a vote that can be tooking out. And just shows your an idiot.

ill have to go with yes and i agree wtihyou on the situation cause i myself find cates to make the loser feel a bit better about himself so id like to suggest the followin cates

Personals
Punches
Similes/Metas
Multies
Vocab

And Overall

That's Exactly How It Should Be. And I'm Not Meaning It Has To Be A Rule Per Say, But I Believe People Should Vote On The Same Catagories As Everybody Else. Not Only That, I Think Some People Get Confused On What Too Actually Vote For So It Gets Misconstrude As Dick Riding.

I Agree Wit it .. Datz How Battles Should be Voted

I'd Like To Convince Plex This Is A Good Idea As Well Though. If Everybody Uses The Same Categories I'm Almost Convinced The Outcome As Far As Voting Will Change For The Better. It's A Learning Experience On How To Judge a Battle, Thus Can Help Elevate Artist Cuz If They Know What There Being Judged On, They Can Make Sure Those Categories Stand Out. Just I.M.O But I'm Convinced This Will Work.

Most battles are obvious though. Breaking them down is pointless when they aren't close.
Breaking down every category is tedious. When the battle isn't close.

i think its pointless cause half the people that list categorys don't even get them right, so making the categorys mandatory won't help any when somebody doesn't understand what a category is and plans on voting for somebody reguardless

True ..
