Description

The voting system here is flawed beyond mention, people vote against you simply because they don't like you, debates should be decided by an elite or respected elders

The current voting system could use a more detailed guide or method of questioning the voters.

Writing A Strong Resolution:
The topic is usually synonymous with resolution (if not, clarify in the detailed description).
Be precise to the debate you wish to have, and ideally make it a single clause statement.

If a resolution contains multiple clauses, pro has not met BoP until each are supported.
If the clauses would support each other, pick one for the resolution, and use the other(s) as supporting contentions.

The difficulty in proving the resolution ties both to the topic, and any qualifier statements included within the resolution. Absolutes (words like "always" and "never") are most hard to prove, complete uncertainties (words like "maybe" and "possible") are least hard to prove.

I like the way you moved from the specific to the general here. Debating the rule rather than the case is generally more interesting.
