You can revote with your original RFD as I took this debate seriously when it should have been taken as a troll debate.

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

Points awarded: 6 arguments to pro for arguments, sources, and conduct

RFD: owl is an incoherent term as Con says. I also award conduct on the basis of purposely creating a debate to trap ignorants. I would also like to note that I knew that obi meant belt before reading this debate, so I know you what you were doing.
And finally, I don't want the #1 on the leaderboard to lose a debate to the last place's alt.

Reason for mod action: The voter explains none of these points. Further, voting based on bias and not wanting someone to lose is not acceptable.

The voter should review the COC here: https://www.debateart.com/rules

You may be able to delete it yourself, I’m not Auden I’d too much time has passed.

@Pinkfreud08

It’s absolutely no problem: this part of the rules can be pretty complex. Kudos for taking the time to try and understand them though: more people should be doing that!

@David

Would you kindly remove the poorly constructed CVB I made?

-->
@Ramshutu

Fair enough, very well I'll remove my CVB my apologies.

Unfortunately that’s not what the rules say. The rules say:

“In the case of awarding conduct points solely on the basis of forfeits, there is an exception to these steps: a debater may award conduct points solely for forfeited rounds, but only if one debater forfeited half or more of their rounds >>>>or<<<<< if the voter also awards argument points”

The or is important. What this means is that you can award conduct points due to a forfeit if one side has forfeited half or more rounds - or if they haveforfieted a single round and the voter awards arguments too.

The rule is to prevent people going around and awarding a single easy point vote for conduct for a single forfeit - and forces them to additionally award argument points too.

@Ramshutu

I couldn't care less what all voters are doing, which they aren't. The rules specifically state that the majority of rounds have to be ff to award a conduct point.

-->
@Pinkfreud08

Forfeit rounds - even a single one - are almost universally given a conduct penalty by almost all voters on all debates. Not making an argument and forcing your opponent to wait days is profoundly disrespectful, and should be penalized to discourage people from doing it.

I believeyour confusing the “Forfeit half rounds” exemption where you can award only conduct for a forfeit without explaining arguments.

Lol I’d debate this with you
