There's no technical way to automate that, and frankly, I think that should be left up to the voters. If the voter genuinely believes awarding a tie to be appropriate, I don't think there's anything wrong in that.
You think RationalMadman was being genuine in the debate I was in? Even if it was made before the rules the vote is still up in the voting process which mean it is apart of a debate which is currently going through a voting process.If the voter genuinely believes awarding a tie to be appropriate, I don't think there's anything wrong in that.
I much rather have a function which removes or allows moderators to check out a debate to say whether or not this should even be considered as a debate.No, I don't. Which is precisely why the rules set out in this thread were devised and implemented.
Like Type1 who you refuse to permanently ban? He is now making countless debates that are attacks. Do check it out.Such a function would induce all hell to break loose (rhymes ftw). We have some limits (like the troll debate classification), but giving moderation too much power in that regard would only create backlash, introduce even more subjectivity, and make moderation more intrusive. Plus, there's an extent to which such a proposal would unfairly target (and thus chase away) bad or new debaters.
I will.
Unfortunately, I am not omnipresent, so I am happy to know about any potential misconduct that is occurring so that I can address it.
