Battle System Updates for More Integrity

FatFingers RocBattle Verified Honest Voter: consistent, fair votes across the arena Staff 4 days ago · 133 views
What's up RocBattle family,

RocBattle is growing fast, and with real money and real rankings on the line, we're putting new rules in place to protect every battle.

Someone recently sent me proof that two producers who had faced each other in a battle were friends who had made a beat together on YouTube. The producer they were battling went and found it. That's exactly what we're stopping.

1. Two in a row, then you sit one out.
If you vote for the same producer in 2 of their battles in a row, your vote button is removed on their next battle. After that, you can vote in their battles again. This doesn't apply to tournament or finale battles, where there are so many votes it won't be a factor.

When you open a battle, you'll see your status right there: your last votes in each producer's battles, and whether you can vote in this one.

2. Your Voting Report tracks more again.
Your Voting Report is back to the full version. It shows who you keep voting for, how often, and what patterns are showing up. Check yours.

3. Fresh matchups.
With so many new producers coming in, when you start a battle the system will match you with producers you haven't battled first. Nobody should be able to climb the rankings by battling the same friends over and over.

These are early steps to stop anybody from working the system. Vote for the best beat. Battle with your own beats. That's all it takes.

Hope that information was helpful.

    @FatFingers I like that cuz the clique up thing is corny. It’s happens more than I ever realized so I appreciate the integrity piece. I would not have even thought to do with other producers.. friend or not

    @jokeyent you’re not forced to vote. But in all fairness if the algorithm notices you listening to certain producers and you only vote for them on there winning battles, it will call you out.

    If I like a certain producer and listening to their music doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to vote for them Everytime...I like the intensity of their battles...why limit someone being able to vote on faves?In in battle rap people have favorites that they follow because they know their battles are always good...you honestly can't force integrity by squeezing choice imo and it's just my opinion

    @jokeyent I understand your point, and nobody is saying you can't have favorite producers or follow their battles. That's perfectly fine. The issue isn't who you listen to or who you support. It's about voting patterns that suggest someone is only voting when their favorite producer is winning.

    There's a difference between being a fan of someone's music and consistently voting in a way that favors that producer regardless of the competition.

    We're not trying to force integrity or take away anyone's choice. We're simply building a system that can recognize questionable voting patterns and help keep battles fair for everyone. Having favorites is part of music. But when you're judging a battle, the music should ultimately determine your vote, not the name attached to it.
