With the new inclusion of the moderation options when creating debates, it would be fantastic if there was a "Moderation lite" option.

I view this as along the lines of voter BoP still being required, while the trinity paradigm is optional... Basically actual shit votes can still be deleted, but a vote falling short of specifying one side being polite or not having sources is fine.

The specifics would need to be agreed upon by the moderators as something they're willing to do, with a MEEP for verification with the general population.

...

I was going to suggest a "Moderation extreme" option, but at that point people should just decide what judges they'll tolerate votes from. Regarding elected judges, I hold the opinion that unless their votes prove to be utter shit, they should be moderated (so moderation ultra-lite) by virtue of the debaters pre-screening them.

When I click clear on the words I have just written. It clears but when I click undo it doesn't come back. Any reason why this happens?

I like it, it shows me your spy mechanisms have holes, meaning you don't truly work for high-end Illuminati factions.

Here is "WORDS". I click the last icon which if highlighted long enough a text box opens which states "clear". I click it and my "WORDS" are gone. No surprise. But when I click the third 3 last icon from the left which if highlighted long enough states "undo". It does not bring back the "WORDS" I cleared.

Oooh I see what you mean, I think there was some issue with the editor and that was the only workaround I found, I will look into it at some point but this editor is probably the hardest thing on this entire website.

If I was working for high-end Illuminati, I wouldn't bother with this website that doesn't even cover its hosting expenses haha

But if you ever meet any of those Illuminati, please leave them my contacts.

Post request:
Right now when we go to post something, we occasionally get the message: "The value must contain from 3 to 5000 characters"
Please change this to: "Post must contain between 3 and 5000 characters; of which you had X characters." with X being the character count.

Have it as your external links to other DA social media sites. For example on the bottom rights add a Reddit icon where the DA subreddit is at and at the other places where you can click on external links.

If you can link it like the discord at the bottom, it would be very nice

How many flags are allowed?

When does flagging regenerate?

I was mass flagging but then the flagging option disappeared.

I think it's 10 or 15 per day, it regenerates every day.

Hi, I'm afraid I cant afford to store images, not with this income. And if to be honest, there are more important features that we need to implement first

Editing the debate should reset the timer/deadline and be a way to not need to copy+paste a new debate. This benefits you because it reduces the duplicate debates stored in your server and database organisation is easier as your key identifier of debates is consistently one-to-one with the actual debates had on the site.

I am afraid I am lost a bit. I understood the part about the resetting, that may make sense in some situations I guess but you lost me about the copy pasting, when do you need to copy paste stuff?

You have 2 different icons for an unrated debate. When I see my debate in the debate section there is a half-colored star whereas when I see the very same debate in my debate section of my profile there is a crossed eye. 

Is this something you missed?

Yes, that's my mistake, I forgot to change the icon in one of the places. Thank you very much for pointing it out!

When clicking on the philosophy forum tab. The tab reads "Philosophy and worldviews".

Can you change it back to "Philosophy"?

Worldviews is already discussed in philosophy because philosophy is the study of stuff whether it be from a Christian, Atheist or spiritualist. Worldview disputes occur in Atheism vs Theism debates which are under the philosophy topic instead of worldviews.

Perhaps add medals for ranking? Like silver at 1600, gold at 1700? (Maybe 1750? Tagged the current king of the hill for feedback)

I would say gold at 1800, but that might encourage the wrong behaviors.
