*******************************************************************
Vote Reported: Scott_Manning // Mod Action: Removed

Points awarded: 2 arguments to pro for sources

RFD: Both gave convincing arguments. Pro had more, stronger and better sources than Con. Both had acceptable spelling and grammar. Equal conduct.

Reason for mod action: In order to award sources points, a voter must explicitly, and in the text of their RFD, perform the following tasks: (a) Explain, on balance, how each debater's sources impact the debate; (b) Directly evaluate at least one source in particular cited in the debate and explain how it either bolstered or weakened the argument it was used to support; (c) Must explain how and why one debater's use of sources overall was superior to the other's. Mere appeals to quantity are not sufficient to justify awarding sources points.

Nice topic here. I read that book like 2 years ago but I'll try to recall it.

>Reported Vote: Pinkfreud08 // Mod action: Removed

>Points Awarded: Tied.

>Reason for Decision: Meh on the fence

>Reason for Mod Action: The vote does not clearly link itself to the content of the debate. It could have been C/P'd to any debate on DART. This does not meet the standard for casting no points votes, which requires that the voter " clearly explain why, based on what transpired in the debate, they chose not to award points."

"This is conceded by Pro due to"

by Con due to* Pro going second is confusing to type in third person but I need to get used to this style, it helps me a lot.
