RFD: Yes there was a forfeit but I feel like Con had better arguments. She explained loss of life, threatening peace, etc. Pro did not respond to this nor gave facts.
Reason for mod action: The conduct point is sufficient, though the argument point is not. To award argument points, the voter must (1) survey the main arguments and counterarguments in the debate, (2) weigh those arguments and counterarguments against each other, and (3) explain, based on the weighing process, how they reached their decision.

Not a problem. Thank you for your confidence. Mike changed it by mistake while editing the new feature. In my opinion, there should be a designated troll debate when dealing with the right to vote, but they should still affect ELO scores.
That being said, votes can and will still be moderated on non moderated debates

Reason for mod action: The vote was borderline. By default, borderline votes are ruled to be sufficient.
*******************************************************************
**PROs responses are rushed and have some/little evidence countered by Ragnar's thorough points that elaborately counter the argument, that go uncontested to the end of the round, there causing me to vote in favor of Rangar**
**Sources go PRO, due to in the argument itself, evidence supports the side and gives validation and proof vs PROs**
There was a poitn about conduct, but forgot to copy it. The conduct was definitely sufficient (somewhere along the lines of "pro ff'd 2 rounds") something like that.
OK I had a chat with bsh on this. Since this isn't FF, arguments and source points still need to be explained. The argument point I think is borderline enough to let it stand, but the source point is not. Therefore, I will remove the vote.
To award sources points, the voter must (1) explain how the debaters' sources impacted the debate, (2) directly assess the strength/utility of at least one source in particular cited in the debate, and (3) explain how and why one debater's use of sources overall was superior to the other's.
What makes this case borderline is the fact that pro forfeited more than 1/2 the rounds. In any other case, this would have been removed.
**PROs responses are rushed and have some/little evidence countered by Ragnar's thorough points that elaborately counter the argument, that go uncontested to the end of the round, there causing me to vote in favor of Rangar**
In debates, all dropped points are considered to be conceded. By the virtue of forfeiting the last two rounds, it is basically a concession.
**Sources go PRO, due to in the argument itself, evidence supports the side and gives validation and proof vs PROs**
This is the tricky point. This is where it would definitely be removed, but given the circumstances of the debate, i'm inclined to let it stand.

And also,
"If you think Black people are not mentally ill, then you are racism you think a race is inertially different and worse than one race. Which is textbook racism, just admit you don't like white people. Just admit you are racist. Its not that hard."

"Protesting this on 9/11 WOW GOOD MOVE IDIOTS-"
And my PERSONAL favourite...
"Did you really just say that. Wow,just WOW. "

Reason for mod action: To award argument points, the voter must (1) survey the main arguments and counterarguments in the debate, (2) weigh those arguments and counterarguments against each other, and (3) explain, based on the weighing process, how they reached their decision. While the voter seemed to weigh them, they need to explain *how* they got there and how they reached their decision.
To award sources points, the voter must (1) explain how the debaters' sources impacted the debate, (2) directly assess the strength/utility of at least one source in particular cited in the debate, and (3) explain how and why one debater's use of sources overall was superior to the other's.
To award S/G points, the voter must (1) give specific examples of S/G errors, (2) explain how these errors were excessive, and (3) compare each debaters' S/G. The key to awarding s/g is *excessiveness* and how it made the debate incomprehensible.

-Homosexuals die 20 years younger- 1 point pro

Spelling/grammar
Both sides had pretty good spelling, but I saw pro spell dying as dieing (4 times) so point to con.
Counduct

Pro's insults were obnoxious and downright disrespectful to Pro who maintained a logical attitude.
All other points tied, neither convinced me and both had relatively good sources and spelling
Reason for mod action: Unless a debater forfeited more than half the rounds, one still needs to explain a tied argument point.

RFD: Arguments | Pro is the only one who made an argument, which was a solid one.
Sources | Tied as neither opponent used any sources.
S&P | Both has equal spelling and grammar.
Conduct | Conduct goes to Con since Pro forfeited the rest of the debate.

Vote Reported: {username} // Mod Action: Removed
Points awarded: 6 points to pro for arguments, sources, s/g
RFD: See below
Reason for mod action: To award argument points, the voter must (1) survey the main arguments and counterarguments in the debate, (2) weigh those arguments and counterarguments against each other, and (3) explain, based on the weighing process, how they reached their decision. While the voter seemed to weigh them, they need to explain *how* they got there and how they reached their decision.
To award sources points, the voter must (1) explain how the debaters' sources impacted the debate, (2) directly assess the strength/utility of at least one source in particular cited in the debate, and (3) explain how and why one debater's use of sources overall was superior to the other's.
To award S/G points, the voter must (1) give specific examples of S/G errors, (2) explain how these errors were excessive, and (3) compare each debaters' S/G. The key to awarding s/g is *excessiveness* and how it made the debate incomprehensible.

Both sides had pretty good spelling, but I saw pro spell dying as dieing (4 times) so point to con.
Counduct
Tie, no swears or over-repetitiveness.

Vote Reported: Pinkfreud08 // Mod Action: Removed
Points awarded: Tie
RFD: Both were very rude towards each-other and the argument didn't go anywhere.
The spelling and grammar for both were also equally as decent, same with sources.
In the end, neither convinced me.
Reason for mod action: To justify a no-points awarded vote, the voter must offer some reason specific to the debate itself which explains why they were unable to award points. Because this RFD could've been C/P'd to any debate on the site, it is not sufficiently context-specific.
