Are there financial costs to running DART?

Do you make money by owning DART?

'Could you make money owning DART?

Wow, I wish someone would have told me all that when I was 18 :/

Also I would recommend that in the description about debate descriptions, putting definitions that clarifies the topic setup is recommended by text, if descriptions on what descriptions(or even short descriptions) are exists. I don’t know because god knows how long I have been since I have created one, but a recommendation about a recommendation is a recommendation.

No, you replied “word”. That is what I am not confident in interpreting.

I am not sure the message went through clearly. I would request a clarification if it is possible.

 It made the site less competitive in the attention economy.

The idea behind the rated debates is not to shield anybody, but to make sure that before participating in the rated debates, the member understands how it all works. Also it avoids situations when it's easy to grind rating on the new accounts that don't know what they are doing.

Also I believe a while ago I added "two weeks" as an option for the voting period for the rated debates, it wasn't allowed in the beginning.

But you are right, I should probably reduce the number of required debates for being able to participate in the rated debates. I will drop it to 3, I think.

there is a way to make blocking actually block words and identifiers (for lack of better words) of people via javascript (and webviewer for certain phones) to make it where i no longer see their names and posts. why has there not been a similar development on this website? Im sure that you can implement it if you wanted to but it seems like there is no desire to. Is the nuiance of coding it that great for a website?

almost 3 days and not a response. It seems to me that you have no intrest in developing it

in which case, you allow spread of harassment, trolling and poor conduct which hurts a site dedicated to debates, instead of helping it.

if a site cant survive just because people no longer see a persons comments or debates, well, it wasnt much of a site to begin with.

Thanks!

Buy the major coins (i.e. bitcoin).  Alt-coins are high-risk.

Buy low, sell high.  Buy down, sell up.  Buy after corrections.  Never FOMO.  

Don't put the majority of your investing into cryptocurrency.  Maybe 10-20% if that, but diversify the rest into other things (i.e. index funds, business, real estate, collectors items, etc).  This way, if crypto booms, you profit, but if it crashes, you don't lose most of your life savings.

I think these days more and more people actually switch to Kotlin, especially after it was declared as the main language for the Android development ( or something along those lines )

Another point is that after having moved to a functional language, OOP started to seem kinda awkward to me.

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.
