I assume the burden of proof.

Made aware of this rule 2 days ago (previously wasn't). Think I've voted on 2 or 3 more before I was reminded, so might wanna hunt them down.

>Reported Vote: Harleygator // Mod action: [Removed]

>Points Awarded: 7 points were awarded to each side.

>Reason for Decision:Neither player really deserves points in this debate - PRO obviously failed to engage and forfeited most of the rounds, but CON presented little more than an aggressive and insulting diatribe, most of which had little if anything to do with the actual motion. While CON is likely to take a technical victory in the voting, there was no notable superiority in their arguments, articulation or conduct.

>Reason for Mod Action: The user could not vote at this time as he has not fulfilled the necessary requirements to be granted voting privileges. Under section A of the Voting Guidelines:
"In order for users to be eligible to vote on debates, user's current accounts must reflect that they have read the site's COC AND either completed at least 2 non-troll debates without any forfeits or posted 100 forum posts. Any user who attempts to vote without having these criteria met will have their vote removed."

If it's a 6 month baby in the womb, does that mean it's 1 year old 3 months after birth?

I want to accept, but it's not worth it to my rating if I lose. I think you have points I'm unaware of.
