He just keeps getting sniped for forfeits. Should he be suspended from debating?


Noob-sniping - the act of an experienced or established user deliberately taking on debates with new (often inexperienced users) to inflate their own win/loss record

I'm thinking Ramdatt is a secondary cipher to bump debate wins by forfeiture.

This is a thread aimed at you, to which I give you the choice if you would like it shut down as a call-out thread or not.

Is this a new policy for call-outs or are you making an exception in this case because you favor this call-out in particular and know that ramdatt will not respond, thus allowing the thread by default?

Ramdatt was quite active at the time, so by tagging him I fully expected a reply.

The question was whether you expected this reply because...

A. The call-out policy has been changed to allow call-out threads with the consent of the target.

or

B. You made an exception in this case.

Tell it to me A or B.

Clearly I made an exception. We sometimes experiment to seek improvement.
