>Reported Vote: RationalMadman // Mod action: Removed

>Points Awarded: 7 points to Pro

>Reason for Decision: Today is a great day. Speedrace's rap felt forced. The fact Wrick would concede was such a great metaphor for how little he has to try vs speedrace.
Wow speedrace, you tried too hard.

>Reason for Mod Action: This vote presents a bit of a quandary. On the one hand, it is a troll debate, and they are not moderated. On the other hand, it is a conceded debate which, according to the site's voting policy, "are not moderated unless a voter votes for the side that concedes." Clearly, most votes on this debate would not be moderated, but depending on whether it should be classified first as a troll debate or first as a concede debate, there may or may not be cause to moderate certain votes on the debate itself. The question then becomes: which model of interpretation (troll or concession) takes precedence when they conflict? Given the principle that a concession equates to a loss, albeit a gracious one, which is rooted in a basic notion of fairness, moderation rules that the concession model takes precedence. Therefore, because the voter voted for the conceding side, the vote is moderatable and removable.

Paraphrasing red dwarf:

The only thing he is guilty of is being RationalMadman. That is his crime.

It is also his punishment.

@Ramshutu

This is why people like you (and why RM doesn't like you)

I don't think I can rap well.
