I have some cents to say about this, I feel that the rule is a decent rule because it's getting people to make sure they vote, but I don't agree with the principle of an auto-loss being implemented. The Leaderboard has an iron-clad guideline, that you are asked to be honest with your votes, and clearly the people in the leaderboard are adhering to this principle, but the moment they miss a single vote, they get an auto-loss? That feels unnecessary because the Leaderboard is already asking people to be honest about their votes, if that honesty is something people are faithfully respecting, an auto-loss feels a little harmful because the trust of being honest about votes is being neglected because it was just a tad late from the FIRST membership release of the episode, as I learnt from my experience with Yoshirocks, and I'm not a FIRST member, which I think is a tad ill-mannered from the part of the staff, and I feel there needs to be a re-evaluation of this rule. I get what you're saying, but there's I don't think there's anything else that we can penalize people for not voting. And without a penalty, we'd be back at square one where people would be able to potentially abuse the system.
