This oath should be publicly agreed to in this thread by posting "I accept". Your post should be tagged in your profile and anyone not signing this oath should need permission to vote on debates by both contestants of the debate. Those not signing the oath and who debaters allow to vote should be free from vote moderation. Anyone caught violating this oath should have voting privileges removed.
🛡️ Debate Integrity Oath
I swear, as a participant in this platform,
that I will judge debates based solely on argument quality,
not on personal belief, identity, or allegiance to any group or ideology.
I will vote for the side that made the stronger case,
even if I disagree with their conclusion.
I understand that debate is not a battlefield for personal or religious crusades,
but a test of reason, clarity, and evidence.
I renounce all attempts to twist voting justifications
to align with my personal preferences.
I accept that if my vote patterns consistently reflect bias over merit,
I may be warned, flagged, or banned.
My loyalty is to truth-seeking through reasoned contest,
not to dogma, tribe, or emotional allegiance.
I take this oath with the full understanding that the credibility of this platform depends on it.
