Let me rephrase what I said:

If a user is banned can I add them as a receiver?

If you say yes why can't I add Dr.Franklin as a receiver?

Your double negative was understood in the wording you used right now. His answer was 'no' to the question you asked now, he ignored the 'not'.

My question:
"If a user is banned can I not add them as a receiver?"

Saying yes to this would mean I can not add them as a receiver.

Saying no to this would mean I can add them as a receiver.

"Double negatives are two negative words used in the same sentence. Using two negatives turns the thought or sentence into a positive one. Double negatives are not encouraged in English because they are poor grammar and they can be confusing; but, they are sometimes used in song lyrics and informal speech."

"A double negative is a grammatical construction occurring when two forms of negation are used in the same sentence."

Please stop lying. It took me one Google search to state you are wrong. Do you have some inclination to use your gut instead of actually understanding what you are saying? 

Hope your ego doesn't cloud you from a clear problem. You say one thing but two more sources which are much better sources information don't say what you say.

@RM

Instead of actually rebutting the claims brought forward. You resort to ad-homming. You have an ego and you can't comprehend when you are wrong. Next time actually make a coherent argument so that you don't resort to ad-homming if I bother to argue against what you said.

Can't admit you were wrong. Keep stating the same to expect a difference. Still waiting for an argument. You have been in enough debates to realize when you are debating against the point at hand. You are not and if you don't see it well you are a [Insert bad words that bsh1 doesn't like].

This isn't a debate. This is you preying upon someone who is not a native English speaker, trying to troll them when they correctly read your question which flipped the dynamic to a 'not' for no reason at all just to troll with the next reply.

Can you prove it is a troll? 
I am sure you have claimed DA to be a liar so why do you trust him now? Is it because you have no real ideas only things you flip flop too to suit your agenda?
Correctly read? You don't even know what a double negative is yet you still don't realize that. Are you blocking you being wrong from your mind? It really is a problem and you should get that checked if you actually care about being correct not some random person who spouts nonsense without backing it up.

- You

Nope
- Admin

So?

- You
You asked a question that you already knew the answer to. You proved this by the very same reply with which you tried to make him feel shit for 'misunderstanding' your question (which he perfectly understood and answered).

When people ask 'can this not be done?' they mean 'can this be done?' and want the 'yes' and 'no' to refer to the original thing. You flipped this around purely to troll and pretended like the Admin made a mistake. If you genuinely struggled to grasp why he answered 'nope', you need severe social skill training and maybe shouldn't live under a rock.

I rephrased what I said so that I can get clarification.

Still haven't demonstrated why I have some ill intent to DA or it can even be seen. I wanted clarification. You are using that as me trying to troll. So basically me simply asking for clarification is me trolling? Gotcha. Another thing to add to RM's nonsensical ideas.
If you genuinely struggled to grasp why he answered 'nope', you need severe social skill training and maybe shouldn't live under a rock.
Double negative? Is that word invisible to you? Oh wait you see it but you don't want to comment on it because you know you are wrong which then followed by you resorting to ad-homs.

You even selectively picked out responses from my last comment. You didn't even bother commenting on you not trusting the owner nor did you even challenge the double negative.

It is moments like this where I see that I am very clearly not the stereotypical autistic nerd that people think me to be.

I don't even comprehend how someone can be so socially-numbed that they bully while feeing like the victim in a situation that from the very start was them asking a question they knew the answer to, just to test the 'human subject' they were testing.

I am not the moderator here, I can't enforce anything. You were a troll abusing the platform development request feature, in order to make the admin frustrated and insecure.

I had his back in a way bsh1 never would, that's all I am proving here. Bye. I don't give a single damn what you have to say back to this.

So basically instead of defending the statement that I am bullying you are not. Instead you have used that as an axiom for this. Why not justify your axioms? Trust me it is possible unless of course your a liar and can't admit to it like you can't admit to not knowing what a double negative is.

You keep saying I did something but can't demonstrate it. It is almost as if you have no proof like the previous conversations you can't substantiate your point. It is a recurring theme and you still haven't worked on it. 
I had his back in a way bsh1 never would, that's all I am proving here. Bye. I don't give a single damn what you have to say back to this.
From here we can learn:

  • RM has an ego. So big he can't admit to wrongdoing. 
  • Thinks I am trolling DA even though he can't demonstrate it.
  • Doesn't even know what a double negative is.
  • Calls me socially inept even though he is the one who doesn't have a grasp on how to make others understand what he is talking about.

DA can remove bsh1 from the site. You saying you had DA's back doesn't mean anything. If he found bsh1 problematic to a point then he can remove him because he is the site owner.

Such a simple question turned into a mess haha

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood the question. Anyway, if the user is banned, you cannot mention him in the comments or posts, you cannot challenge him for a debate and some other things, so yeah, it has limitations.

I was apologizing on your behalf. You can't comprehend when you are wrong and you started this entire thing about a double negative then you talked about social kills then you will leave but here you are. Please next time when you think you have a good idea think about it just one more okay because even when you moved the goalposts to a different subject I still rebutted your claims.

So I was looking at the final page of the leaderboard, and it seems Type1 might not hold the bottom slot much longer. Type1 managed a to win 15.97% of the time, but the current #3 has 6.25% and dropping (something crazy like 50 debates ongoing right now...).

With that in mind, I would like to repeat my previous suggestion of a gold medal for last place (or even just dropping your rating below 1300; that way it's an unchanging standard, but still one which few will ever achieve).

For names, there's many funny ones which come to mind, but my suggestion is "Underdog." Or if a silver medal is added for scores below 1400, call that "Underdog" and the gold "King Underdog."

Despite how funny I find the idea, I am afraid it would be a tricky one because in my understanding all medals should be achievable in one direction ( if that makes sense ) but by introducing this medal, a person who chases the idea of having all medals would first have to go to the bottom and then to the top ( or the opposite ) and that's like two-side direction, because the closer you get to some medals (king of the hill), the further away you get from the other (underdog, as you suggested).

I think Ragnars idea is pretty good: I would suggest a new class of medal: “Brown” medals. King of the bottom feeders brown medal for being bottom of the pack. Lose ten debates against someone ranked 20 places below you... lose 50/100 debates.
