To be honest, I couldn't follow your comment, can you please elaborate?
But I will try to clear some things out anyway:
1. When one is creating a new debate, the default "type" is "standard". If one has the required qualification, it can be changed to "rated".
2. On the page that shows the list of debates, the "type" of a debate is now an attribute called... Well, "Type". It was an icon showing rated debates, now it's more explicit. If anything, I think that's better.
3. That yellow border on some of the debates is not because they are rated, but because they are "lifted". That's a feature for those that have credits, which I usually give for donations. The problem is that the whole system with showing the credits and all that is still missing, so it's a bit messed up but I will make it more explicit after fixing the search and the avatars.
