RFD: Trying to tie up pro to keep him from a debate loss
Reason for mod action: This is a conceded debate. As such, it is impermissible to vote for the forfeiting side. Furthermore, it is also against the COC to vote in order to prevent someone from loosing. This vote is considered a vote bomb. Finally, this user is not elliable to vote.

Vote Reported: Debaticus // Mod Action: Removed
Points awarded: Con
RFD: Very simple. amazing arguments, followed by concession.
Reason for mod action: To cast a sufficient vote in the choose winner system, a voter must explicitly, and in the text of their RFD, perform the following tasks: (a) survey the main arguments and counterarguments presented in the debate, (b) weigh those arguments against each other (or explain why certain arguments need not be weighed based on what transpired within the debate itself), and (c) explain how, through the process of weighing, they arrived at their voting decision with regard to assigning argument points. Weighing entails analyzing how the relative strength of one argument or set of arguments outweighed (that is, out-impacted) and/or precluded another argument or set of arguments. Weighing requires analyzing and situating arguments and counterarguments within the context of the debate as a whole. Furthermore, one forfeited round does is not equivalent to a concession.
Most significantly, the voter fails to meet the eligability requirements. In order to be elligable to vote, the voter must first read the COC (found here: https://www.debateart.com/rules) and complete two non-troll/non-forfeited debates. The voter fails to meet both requirements.
*******************************************************************
The voter must assess the content of the debate and only the debate, any reasoning based on arguments made or information given outside of the debate rounds is unacceptable. This includes reasoning that stems from already-placed votes, comment sections, and separate forums. Votes that impermissibly factor in outside content and which are reported will be removed.

Vote Reported: Pinkfreud08 // Mod Action: Removed
Points awarded: 1 point to pro for conduct
RFD: Concession
Reason for mod action: In the case of awarding conduct points solely on the basis of forfeits, a voter may award conduct points solely for forfeited rounds, but only if one debater forfeited half or more of their rounds or if the voter also awards argument points (or explains their decision not to award argument points in a manner which meets the argument points voting standards). One still needs to analyze the arguments presented in the debate.
The voter should review the COC here: https://www.debateart.com/rules
Since you are arguing in the affirmative, I would prefer to be the instigator. I have an approach that says that the affirmative case should be the instigator

Vote Reported: Scott_Manning // Mod Action: Removed
Points awarded: 2 arguments to pro for sources
RFD: Both gave convincing arguments. Pro had more, stronger and better sources than Con. Both had acceptable spelling and grammar. Equal conduct.
Reason for mod action: In order to award sources points, a voter must explicitly, and in the text of their RFD, perform the following tasks: (a) Explain, on balance, how each debater's sources impact the debate; (b) Directly evaluate at least one source in particular cited in the debate and explain how it either bolstered or weakened the argument it was used to support; (c) Must explain how and why one debater's use of sources overall was superior to the other's. Mere appeals to quantity are not sufficient to justify awarding sources points.

Vote Reported: Scott_Manning // Mod Action: Removed
Points awarded: 3 points to pro for arguments, 1 point to con for arguments
RFD: I absolutely agree with Ramshutu. I would also like to say that I think Con screwed up a bit at the better at crashing part.
Reason for mod action: (1) The voter must assess the content of the debate and only the debate, any reasoning based on arguments made or information given outside of the debate rounds is unacceptable. This includes reasoning that stems from already-placed votes, comment sections, and separate forums. Votes that impermissibly factor in outside content and which are reported will be removed. In this case, the voter relies on Ramshutu's vote, which is forbidden. (2) Finally, the conduct point is not explained. In order to award conduct, the voter must:
Provide specific references to instances of poor conduct which occurred in the debate
Demonstrate how this poor conduct was either excessive, unfair, or in violation of mutually agreed upon rules of conduct pertaining to the text of the debate
Compare each debater's conduct from the debate
Misconduct is excessive when it is extremely frequent and/or when it causes the debate to become incoherent or extremely toxic. In the case of awarding conduct points solely on the basis of forfeits, there is an exception to these steps: a debater may award conduct points solely for forfeited rounds, but only if one debater forfeited half or more of their rounds or if the voter also awards argument points (or explains their decision not to award argument points in a manner which meets the argument points voting standards).
The voter should review the COC here: https://www.debateart.com/rules
That being said, since we have had a lot of accusation of people voting dishonestly, there will be a serious debate and discussion on what constitutes such a vote, how to find them, and if/when they should be removed.

I'm also going to add that this is not a noob trap debate. The resolution was clear as well as which side the contender was arguing.
Yeah it was a tough debate
Thanks, though I honestly think @bsh should have won
I can only delete debates if your opponent agrees as well.
this is a troll debate. Votes are not moderated.
<3
Hopefully my song choices were better this round.
Since you listened to and voted on the last one....
Lol

Interesting suggestions. Will have a chat with bsh about them in the am

Same here. I’m in quite a few debates already
Indeed! If you’re up for a music battle like this I’m down!
Electronic music isn’t my absolute favorite, but I thought it would be a nice mental change from serious debates to a battle
Thank you bsh! <3
Yes he is a black Orthodox Jew. He grew up Christian, then converted to Islam, and now he’s an orthodox Jewish rapper. He’s an interesting fellow
Mod note: Troll debates aren’t moderated so RM’s vote can’t be removed. It’s not a vote bomb
It was actually me who hit the report button by mistake :haha:
Lol
Type1 is banned for 3 months. The next ban will be a permanent one .

No. I am at work now. Will do so when I can

Disagreeing with a vote =/= it is dishonest
