Islam is the only true religion

For a nothing debate like this, every vote (including yours) meets or exceeds the voting standard.

Setting aside the fact that our developer is MIA and that he wouldn’t enforce voting standards if he was around, again, what you’re arguing against is the existing rules for voting. And, again, on a debate where neither side argues, votes are rarely removed and voters are allowed to reward one side with the win for showing up instead of forcing the other side to just wait out the clock on each and every round forfeit.

Moderators please inform your developers to consider blank space as forfeiture.

Alright.

ok i finish this, you cannot satisfy my questions as well as i cannot satisfy my opinions to you.

No one said blank space was an argument. I said voters are allowed to point to the difference between someone showing up and posting and someone not showing up at all as a basis for awarding points. A full forfeit vs. a blank post is still a difference in attendance.

I’ve given you the reason why I won’t remove their votes. I legitimately have no idea what else you could be looking to get from me in terms of reasoning.

I am not asking reason from you , I asked them to add this reason on their votes. ok provide me a reason why you won't remove their votes

Alright, maybe this wasn’t clear, so I’ll spell it out as plainly as I can.

When two sides each make arguments in a debate on this site, as long as neither side has forfeited 40% of the rounds or outright conceded the debate, voters are required to evaluate the arguments of both sides as part of their reasoning for awarding points.

When one side forfeits every single round, the standard for voting changes because the content of the debate is markedly different, i.e. virtually non-existent. Voters are not required to assess non-existent reasoning to award points. Voters are also allowed to use their vote to punish multiple forfeits in the way these voters have. Even though both sides forfeited, one clearly showed up for at least a couple of rounds, and the voters are allowed to award them points for that reason alone in the absence of any attendance to the debate from the other side.

I kindly ask you to remove votes of TheRizzler,Barney,AdaptableRatman
They not provided reason why con won, you are my last trust

idk know why you supporting them.

you removed my votes several times for not providing enough reason, but they not provided enough reason , not said why con won. you saying reason instead of them, you can remove their votes, they can revote with enough reason.

…I don’t understand that response. No one’s “giving reason” they are just pointing to the lack of participation as a reason to award points.

You may not like how the voting policy works, but you can argue against the policy then. Still means the votes stand under that policy.

That is totally unfair, you giving reason instead of them

“ Any unexcused forfeited round merits an automatic conduct loss, but arguments must still be voted on or justified as a tie. Repeated forfeitures waives the need to consider arguments (you still may, but by the choice of one side to miss at least 40% of the debate, the requirement ceases. And yes, this does apply to Choose Winner, which otherwise would not allow conduct to be the sole determinant).”

That’s the voting policy and the specific part about forfeits that applies here. On a debate where one side forfeited every single round, this absolutely applies.

TheRizzler vote should be removed , he not provided reason , why con won

AdaptableRatman vote should be removed, he not provide why con won, he only said pro is forfeited.

Barney's vote should be removed, he provide his reason that pro is failed , but not provided reason why con won.

If opponent just posted his arguments, I would have lost there 100% and he would win. I had to forfeit multiple rounds there because I had to sleep.

This debate preposterous. It’s a joke.

I have retired, but this is tempting... No, I'll let someone else make a mockery of this one (or win it in a boring way, their choice).
