Bug: red pencil icon shows as if mods edited a post when you have reported it on a phone and the flag has become red.

That would definitely make it easier to see the ranks of people that aren't right at the top.

Can you add a platinum section to the medals?
This would be medals above gold. You can move the 100 wins in an open voting system as the first plantinum medal then something like 10,000 forum posts and 5,000 forum topics for the other 2 platinum medals. You can increase the 100 wins to 500 and keep the 100 wins medal in the gold medal section.
What do you think?

Yeah, the medal system will definitely be expanded more, probably sooner than later :)

I have an idea to add more customisation to a person's profile. Add a title section where it is like the medal section with requirements to a yellow, grey or brown circles on your profile but the person can pick a title as their profile title instead of numbers with above circles. 

So basically it would be above your name if you see your most recent comment here:

Example:

       Owner
     Debateart.com

You can add exclusive ones to specific people like moderators and admin while also giving a different colour to it. This can be for something difficult to attain like #1 debater a gold colour and something easy like Patriot to be a bronze colour for assigning a country to your profile. Something like #1 debater can be only met if the person remains the #1 debater. This can start off being a way for showcasing medals but then can improved whether or not people would like to customise their title more.

What do you think?

It would be great if you added the function to delete votes after a debate has finished to prevent trolling and insufficient votes causing unfair losses.

I have, for example, "lost" this debate: https://www.debateart.com/debates/756 due to an insufficient vote by "raaron" and I have requested that the debate be deleted to clean my record. However, I would naturally much prefer it if the insufficient vote was simply deleted and I got the fair win.

Similarly, MagicAintReal, lost this debate: https://www.debateart.com/debates/525 due to four spam votes being cast shortly before the debate ran out.

Technically, any user could easily create ten spam accounts and vote shortly before his losing debate runs out and thereby reach number 1 on the leaderboard and all the mods and admins could do is to question the user how these votes came about and possibly delete the debate after an investigation has been conducted.

DART should introduce the function to delete votes after a debate's voting period has ended to ensure a fair experience of all users.

When I see the message on the left. It stops at 999.
Can you add another digit so that it can go up to 9999?

When you mistype a username in the Receivers field, the message says "One or more participants cannot not found" Change "not" to "be".

"One or more participants is not found"? Or "One or more participants can't be found"?

Yeah, it's been on the list for quite a while but it's rather tricky so I am afraid it will take some time :(

It should say "One or more participants cannot be found"

And you're welcome on the other thing.

Can you change the way the win percentage is calculated?
Can you remove ties from it and only base it on wins and losses?
Do tell me if you have a problem with it. You can call it win/loss percentage if the name is the problem.

Give us the ability to delete messages in our DMs, or at least edit them.
