This is why the website deserves a leader like bsh1. Everyone is too jokey and time-wasting when real opportunities to display united dismay at his moderation turn up.

I will wade into this later today when I have more time. I have seen it, and will be talking to RM and Supa about it. In the meantime, I would ask everyone to remain calm. Thank you.

That's up for MU to decide. Unless you've been on MU for a while and hosted a bunch of games, they probably won't let you. I've hosted dozens of games on MU.

Thank you for this thread. I too have been a victim of bullying and it nearly cost me my life. That said, I think this is a good placed to post the phone number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255.

Hello all,
Since many of you have announced your candidacy for secretary, I would like to make a major announcement: I am running to be DART's next Deputy Moderator. I appreciate your vote.

+1Are these real positions?No, not really. But if people want to help out on the site by being "secretaries" for their forums, that's great. I admire and appreciate that people are stepping up to the plate as members of the community.

@Castin
It amuses me that even on a rinky dink site with a trivial election people see conspiracy theories about a sinister rinky dink deep state whose evil master plan is to stop two rinky dink votes.

If we're going to do a name change thing, moderation needs to be able to see who the accounts were before.
I agree with this. Also, should we limit the number of times a user can change their name?

I am super excited for the first annual hall of fame. I'd like to begin by thanking those who have nominated me.
Users
(1) RationalMadman - RM has contributed a lot to this site as evidenced by the fact that he's the first person to receive every single medal. He was also the first to be on the top of the leaderboard and has done literally hundreds of debates in less than a year.
(2) Mike (DebateArt.com) - Without him, this site would not even exist.
(3) Speedrace - In a few short months, he is one of the users I most respect. I really enjoy his debating style and his overall professional conduct in debates and in the forums.
Debates
(1) Jury Nullification https://www.debateart.com/debates/88/jury-nullification
(2) Firing Squad Firing Squad is the best form of capital punishment https://www.debateart.com/debates/1235/firing-squad-is-the-best-form-of-capital-punishment
(3) Animal Experimentation https://www.debateart.com/debates/456/animal-experimentation
These debates, I believe, are of the highest quality that debateart has to offer.
Threads
I will think on this more.

@DebateArt.com
Yeah. Perhaps move the leaderboard to the bottom?It would be difficult to find space for it in the header, I am afraid. On most websites that I know this stuff is always on the bottom :/ What we can do is to add warnings here and there with a link to the rules saying something along the lines of "Hi there, please read the rules <here>".Not sure about the second suggestion, you want to make open challenges the default sorting algorithm?

@DebateArt.com
Move the link to the rules from the footer to the header. Too many people don't know where to find the rules. Putting it in a more prominate place would be helpful.
Maybe make something like this: https://www.debate.org/debates/?challenge=true and automatically put the open challenges first.

@Wylted
Bans by request are a thing. Can you explain possible reasonings for that and why you would even participate in that?
I have no idea what you are talking about. A ban by request means that a user PM'd us asking for their account to be deleted. We don't go out and willy nilly ban someone because the mod team requested it.

@OoDart
It means they are banned. We have an official ban log if you want to know why a user was banned. https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/2305/site-official-ban-log

Ironic that the person most known for accusing threads of being call-outs and against the CoC is now asking for help in finding loopholes around the CoC so he can call someone out.

Banned as an alt of a previously banned user, Sparrow. Per the rules, spam debates that are started by previously banned users are deleted.

Don't fucking RIP the competition to replace DDO. Civid ran against DebateIsland and DART both.
I completely forgot debateisland existed.

As some of you may know, Civid was another website that was being developed for quite some time and launched the same time this one did. I decided to see how they were doing and it appears they have completely shut down.
RIP DDO
RIP Civid

@Imabench
It was probably because the main forum is already cluttered with a lot of pinned threads already, and adding the ban list would just add to the problem, whereas the misc forum was nice and open for stickied threads to receive a good amount of attentionSame thing happened to DDO after a while when stickied threads became a thing, so some shit started going into the misc section, including the Hall of Fame itself I believe
This. Exactly this.

RationalMadman, please for the love of God, read the ban log. Pink was banned at his request.
For the record, CBTlover posted a debate that I thought was spam. I deleted it and banned him as I mistook it as a bot.
