Troll debate so Sidewalker gets voting privileges.

I suspect there aren't many active voters at the moment to account for all the current debates in need of votes.

DART has become too complacent in the illusion of security, regarding the verified voters they trust to judge objectively. But the very nature of debate is competitive which means a diversity of new perspective will keep this site High-Stakes.
The responsibility of reading/spectating/judging debates will be the incentive newcomers need to actively participate more in the site.
I would say a few votes are necessary to become a good debater versus the reverse.

Thanks for getting me voting rights, here's a question...how is it I have won 25% of my two debates?

Let's remember that troll debates are not eligible for moderation and so do not satisfy the qualification: "Complete at least two rated debates which are eligible for moderation, each containing no more than a single forfeiture, using the open voting system (as opposed to judicial selection)."

I am guessing that Sidewalker can vote because of the second qualification, " or make 100 non-spam forum posts."

I think the spirit of competitive debate is enhanced by new voters doing a couple of real debates that, win or lose, demonstrate the voters understanding of language, logic, persuasion, grammar, style, research, evidence. I think everybody's more comfortable being evaluated by DARTers who can demonstrate they understand the basics and are using the same basic criteria as debaters everywhere.

Watching SIr Lancelot help to on board voters with the least of effort, without demonstrating any actual debating skill or understanding read to me as a bad sign for the future freeness and fairness of debates on this site. What possible advantage can loading on more voters who haven't demonstrated their debate cred represent to the site? The advantage to the debater conducting the unproven voters is pretty obvious.

Congrats!
