Description

translation of title: unless it's a video debate, debates shouldn't be allowed to have 100 max characters per round. (meaning that DART should increase this limit)

Opponent may not argue that 100 max characters is too few even to link to video debates, that is not the topic.

Video-based debate: A link on youtube (or some other site) which holds the two people having the discussion and the link is copy pasted onto DART. This is the only reason I can see for 100 max characters.
