If we auto-lossed forfeits, concessions, and banned debaters then voters would have to focus non-automatic decisions if they wanted  increased voting stats or rep 

Why does it have to be different if you can't think of anything better? Most of this sites format is copy-pasted from DDO and the parts that are different are sometimes worse (such as the PMs). If some way of doing things works why not stick with it?

I can think of something better but it would take time to implement and especially design, because I am pathetic at designing stuff. The general idea is similar but it's not exactly copy pasted, we have lots of things that are either built on top of what DDO has or are simply different. But frankly, that's what most people do, you just take some idea and improve it. PMs are possibly worse, yes, but only at some aspects and that's because I wanted eventually to use a paid solution ( say Twilio ) for the chat system that provides everything we could possibly need, group chats, image attachments and etc but I can't afford it because, well, I can't even cover my hosting expenses, leave alone the paid chat systems or phone number verifications to prevent multi accounts and stuff.

I don't have a record of questions answered. I would like to see that

Also, it would be interesting to know if there is a way to tell if a debate was set to be against a specific person (as compared to becoming an open challenge)

Bronze: "The Helper" -- Give 1 Used Recommendations to the Site

Silver: "The Assistant" -- Give 3 Used Recommendations to the Site

Gold: "The Developer" -- Give 7 Used Recommendations to the Site

P.S., in the list of current medals, don't you think "Law Abiding Citizen" should be "Law-Abiding Citizen"?

When you go to someone's medals page, you can see if they've asked 0/5, 1/5 2/5, 3/5, and 4/5 questions, but once they've completed it, with 5 questions asked and answered, you don't know how many they actually asked.

Anyone with 5 or more questions has only asked 5 or more questions, and that's all we know.

It would be nice to easily see the over-completion of a medal, writing "7/5" and such.

Now, you can often check these elsewhere, including in the golden versions of the same medal, but some of the golden ones themselves, such as Respectful Contributor, gives you no other way of checking that information.

A bigger issue is that one can like their own comments and forum posts to fast-track the like challenges (other than the 25-at-once one).

Those are not counted when it comes to the medals.

Ah it means voting period for a debate with banned participant.

Close enough, there are 3 different indicators now.

At the bottom of the forums page is a notice to read CoC but it doesn't go away if you've read it (probably should do that and link it to if the CoC medal is been activated or not).

It's been there for a while.

Indication on debates that you cannot vote on via icon on the outside.

A page to handle incoming and outgoing Friends Requests now exists (but you still have to visit their profile to accept, reject or conversely to withdraw it).

There is now a way to split your notifications up by the type they are in 'Activities'.

Is it just me, or has Mike been conspicuously quiet during the whole bsh1 revelation?

Was he in favor or opposed to a change in moderation? Does anyone know?

Make DART opensource >::((

I don't think I will go this route. Not only it can bring security issues, it will also make code easy to steal and all that. And I highly doubt people would be willing to work on it, it's a small hobby project written in a language that many devs never heard about. I can't collect enough donations to cover the hosting expenses and expecting people to work on the open sourced code is even less realistic, especially considering that not everyone is a developer.

Are sigs for forum posts in the works?
