- if the debate forbids it, one single forfeit can be considered as FF and as such, make a side lose
- If one forfeits more than 40%, he may just have a poor conduct vote
- If so, the voter may give "conduct" vote to the opponent without giving explanation
@RationalMadman:
You say "If I post as little as 'gg' I count as not technically forfeiting. The key to not technically forfeiting isn't to avoid the 40% as much as to avoid FF" " in the scenario one forfeits 40%+ but did not FF, you can only give conduct without explanation, not arguments etc."
so if someone simply "argues" "gg", as a voter, I will have to vote for his "gg" argument and explain the why of my vote?
@Intelligence_06: As i am new and trying to understand the voting system, can you please elaborate on the why of your vote?
Indeed, I see PRO has forfeited but the absence of rules for this debate implies that forfeit isnt automatically a loss. Or, am I wrong?
RationalMadman brings not proof or references to assert his arguments.
Also, when he used the same unargumented claims in another debate against Yassine, he forfeited https://www.debateart.com/debates/3939-islam-does-not-encourage-authoritarianism
So, what weighted in favor of CON ?
Hoping to learn more, thanks for your help!
ps: @RationalMadman sorry, it isnt against you, I am just trying to understand how to vote in future debates. You obviously make great points in many debates :)
I am new to this site and to the concept of debating.
I have 2 questions:
- do arguments strength have to be weighed before one make a vote? for example, those who voted for CON have been convinced by your arguments?
- Also, what did PRO mean by "gender"? Male and female or genders as chosen sexual identities?
That was very clear. Thank you for taking the time :)
thank you. I will try to recap it :)
