An issue I've been bitched at before, namely Akemi Homura and nerfing:

For those not in the know about Homura, she has an arsenal of heavy weapons such as RPGs and anti-ship missile, the ability to pause and travel through time, and cannot be killed unless her soul gem is destroyed or possible if she sustains extreme bodily damage, such as decapitation or total vaporization.

Now in the past, I admit to creating a couple fights featuring her in which Homura was "nerfed, namely

1. Akemi Homura vs Mattias Nilsson: In this fight, the nerfing of Homura (no time manipulation, only limited durability and speed enhancement). In this mode, Homura's massive arsenal was not enough to overcome Mattias' air strikes and firepower (though she did survive the match). Whereas with full-power Homura could curb stomp Mattias (though she'd probably just pause time and steal all his weapons).

2. Akemi Homura vs Nanoha Takamachi: In this match, Homura was nerfed in as much as she couldn't pause time. Also, while Nanoha can fire powerful magic attacks, speculated on some forums to be as powerful as a low-mid level Dragonball character, unlike a DBZ character, it is revealed in the third season, it is revealed that magic shields are optimized to block magic attacks, and weaker against "mass-based weapons" such as guns and missiles... and Homura has plenty of those.

3. Akemi Homura vs The Terminator: The match that first got me fire for this, to make this a "fair fight", I restricted Homura to 30 seconds (I think) of time manipulation, which was not deemed enough for Homura to vaporize the Terminator with a rocket spam. With Homura at full power, with her invulnerability and infinite (or at least much longer) time stop Homura would reduce the Terminator to scrap metal easily.

I have already marked these matches in the infobox as "Nerfed Matches": Should I,

A: Keep them in the Battle status, but marked as "nerfed".

or B: Removed them from the infobox and note in the expert's opinion that the match was considered unfair.

Finally, perhaps we should have some sort of Hub for voting on whether battle ideas are fair or not.
