The Elo system firstly is not entirely accurately done here, in my eyes (weighting-wise) and there were many issues earlier on as grudge-voting disguised as genuine voting was a major issue thanks to quite a few users, the most prominent one who did it nonstop to me was Ramshutu, he also is a major reason why Oromagi won as much as he did (they voted for each other but to be fair to Oromagi, I believe that he believed his votes whereas Ramshutu was blatantly slanting utter nonsense angles to justify his votes). There was a clear cut win-win relationship between Oromagi, Ramshutu and Ragnar, with Ramshutu being the one who most knowingly and ruthlessly did the bullshit voting scheme.
Ramshutu quit this website mysteriously soon after the old head mod (who always ruled in favour of Ramshutu and even modded this corrupt guy) was dethroned. I think it had to do with Virtuoso not letting him prey on me so easily and Ragnar changed after he got his role as deputy mod into a far fairer and wiser member of the community. Why I specifically call out Ramshutu is to explain that the Rating you see on debaters who had a lot of debates was almost 80-85% controlled by Ramshutu's whims as he dedicated to voting on everyone's debates and stalled ever debating at all for many months of his site membership, planning carefully who to build rapport with and who to prey upon without letting them fight back as he picked his opponents and topics extremely carefully.

Most of those who are most highly rewarded are the crap rappers. Admittedly some who are somewhat good get rewarded, so long as they stick to safe talking points and 'scripts' playing a persona that the Illuminati allows.

That was a clever way to try and disprove the stereotype, nonetheless I apologise for nothing I said. From the first time we interacted on this site to now, you've been either passive-aggressive or outright rude to me and many others.

This website in general has only 12 or so active members at any given time. Thanks to Covid-19 driving us all more indoors, the population is nearer to 15-16 active members whereas before it was nearer to only 8-9. Imagine out of the whole planet only that many people caring about debating. It's sad but yes, I too searched for a place like this. Formerly debate.org and debateisland.com suited me (I do NOT recommend EVEN TRYING createdebate.com it's an anarchic shitshow of trolling in severe forms). After DDO was plagued by adbots and had many technical glitches, this website arose and I definitely enjoy that the mods and admin are so interactive with the userbase here, it really is the biggest selling point.

On a computer's Internet Browser the bottom of the website are buttons to things like the code of conduct, it may be placed different on an iPhone but for Android, it's easiest to view the website on a smartphone while it's vertical (the horizontal formatting is done less straightforward in my opinion).

The debates need to have 0 Rounds forfeited by you and must be 2 or more Rounds (or 3, am not sure on the specifics I am an old timer here who unlocked voting at a time when just joining the site got me the access to the button).
One or more of the three people I tagged aside from you will be able to tell you the specific criteria.

@simplybeourselves
Voter EligibilityIn order for users to be eligible to vote on debates, user's current accounts must reflect that they have read the site's COC AND either completed at least 2 non-troll debates without any forfeits or posted 100 forum posts. Any user who attempts to vote without having these criteria met will have their vote removed. If a user repeatedly attempts to vote without having these criteria met, their voting privileges may be suspended until they meet this criteria.

What is your point?

@zedvictor4
Yeah, the privileges can be established with pay-only things that don't help your winrate as a debater, definitely that's acceptable business model in my eyes. A gaming company named Riot Games engineered this pay model in their original game League of Legends and it works very well in other web environments too.

Your anger is controlling you. Stay calm or you are no better than they are. They are intentionally winding you up and twisting your words, don't play into their hands, just calm down and delete your posts. This isn't worth it, you're not changing anyone's mind by approaching them angrily.

I said people, not cultures. Even your idea of destruction is again a futile concept. Alter, remodel and convince the people with accurate information and love to ditch their flawed ways of operating. It isn't the culture you are aiming at, it's a certain toxic aspect of the law or action that those typically do. Learn to separate harmful elements from harmless ones and you needn't destroy either; express, expose, educate and evolve.
Hitler was not Nazism, he was a figurehead who led it. People are not the culture and only he and the high rankers were too far gone to convince otherwise, in fact many of the medium-high rankers were begging for a way out the whole time.

Just because someone gets fired doesn't render all work they did as worthy of burning. It's their career that's burned, not the goods/services they helped enable.

It is more accurate to say that they don't care what happened than that they directly support it. In their eyes, it's only wrong if it's done to them and this indeed fits with right-wing ethos, which believes not everyone is even close to equal.

While China is indeed successfully pseudo-left, the pseudo aspect is important to comprehend.
You see, left wing in true form encourages harmony and educates the populace to leave them safe, China achieves the end results by blackmailing them into harmony via 24/7 surveillance and censorship of all media and tackles safety by masking when shit goes wrong. People get their hands cut off in the working conditions of Chinese factories and much along those lines, yet it's recorded as a non-crime and non-incident. This ignores the deep putrid pollution and all harms to the entire populace happening as a result of that. When the population needs reduction, they literally encourage killing people and will mercilessly do so to groups they wish to brainwash the children of (Muslims in China, research it)

Here is a controversial statement:
Christopher Columbus was an immigrant who led pillaging, slaughter and abuse of the locals only to birth a nation whose majority ethnicity would end up paranoid of all immigrants doing the same to them.

What I see is people talking big, their white privilege is evident,
Spoilt brats born rich, think their ancestor's wealth is heaven-sent,
Think they deserve a cent of it, then wonder why the rest resent the fact that blacks have inheritance far less common and the bottom of the barrel's only low due to past prejudice still rendering results the remain prevalent,
What do you know about it? Petulance among caucasions blessed with tenament,
They used to own all votes but cannot gloat the privilege anymore; protestors got the betterment thanks to Democratic president's benevolence,
I know Lincoln freed the slaves, but the was a fuck-ton more to fix and that he never did,
Civil Rights, affirmative action and practically every tax that helped them was down to Dem's development,
Some of you are blaming B-L-M for their reverence towards a party that blatantly helped the blacks so much and today is dedicated to egalitarian prevalence,
I suggest getting your head out of your ass, read less Mein Kampf and your Faux Fox News and more objective facts that'll slap the ignorance out of your mind so fast it's like a zap of electric intelligence,
You look at looters and think they represent the protests when they are literally hurting black business owners, you're a moron for suggesting it,
Get to grips with reality, commit less logical fallacies and open your mind to the issue that's affecting many African-American residents.

TRN is someone who basically asks to be bullied, it's not even a rude thing to say or victim-blaming in a corrupt sense. He will set out to piss people off and if they lash out at him verbally or physically, he will stir the pot more and more. It's fascinating in a way how oblivious TRN is to the annoyance he brings on others, yet he very intentionally sets out to specifically anger and sadden those that are most hostile towards him when he initially 'tests the waters' with a small wind up and prod.
TRN doesn't have any friends, if someone befriends him then it's to their detriment as TRN will make them involved in all his spats and beef and if they even back out once he deems them unworthy and disloyal. It's safe to say that TRN is toxic to be around and spend time with, he is a loner by his own making and even the other outcasts don't respect or like him much.

The usage of green coins is solely one of assisting your prominence in the forums. It will help significantly if the site had a self-sufficient currency for those that particularly get things going in the forums.
There could be another currency that lets you get cool profile aesthetics such as a background, unique font and much more. This could be tied to donations and/or debate rating, medals etc.

@Lunatic
The true champion can play amongst idiots even on their own team, and thrive. It takes a lot of practise and strategic thinking but it's possible. I showed that in the game with drafterman as scum vs me as town all those months, even over a year, ago. I was angrier then, I will outplay in a calmer way now. At worst a counterclaim will sacrifice me, I'll still work hard to separate me from my partner if I am scum or work hard to out my reads if I am town so that my death means something positive for my team.

Left Wing admits it wants authority figures, however the authority must answer to the overall populace and be held accountable. Right Wing denies that it likes authority and the sheep call the left-wing 'sheep'. Even in anarchic left-wing variants, there'd be community figures with authority.

@sadolite
Good topic. I am happy to help.
Left wing in its pure form stands for safety and harmony.
Right wing in its pure form stands for freedom and chaos.
When I write that, I do not ignore Stalin being pseudo-left nor Hitler being right-wing and yet still using the term 'socialist' to describe his system.
I am going to explain to you that these two things (safety and harmony vs freedom and chaos) are paired values that rest at the core If the wings.
The right wing sets out to unleash everything on the world, both good and bad. Its motive is to enable the most brutal and unrelinquished form of society with each individual taking what they want when they want however they want. This is the pinnacle of right-wing ethos.
The left wing sets out to have a society that is as safe and harmonious as possible, the more left-wing a society is, the less it focuses on retribution and more it focuses on rehabilitation (in all senses, even bad financial decisions).
The right-wing in practise, doesn't enable freedom because it is tyranny by the rich and influential who mercilessly thwart those that stand in their way and whose children unfairly inherit that power and wealth.
The left-wing in practise often devolves if it's extreme, into a situation where instead of safety and harmony being a thing all have, instead none at all have it and it deems that a good solution with a tyrant ruling all.
Neither wing functionally achieves its goal if it is taken to the extrene.

Even the child's reaction will in part be due to nurture. The point is it's not a thing you think yourself into, it's a temperament and core mentality thing that's hardwired in your subconscious brain.

No, he says he still stands by it.
He thinks they should have been electrocuted to death and never lived to have their names cleared. The case was known to everyone to be based on extremely evidence and get Trump was deadset on it being them.
The most fascinating thing is that they were only released because the guy who actually did it was many hears later imprisoned anyway for another crime and it occured to him during his sentence that he should admit to it for their sakes. It's a brutal and severe injustice and Trump is too much of a racist fucktard narcissist to literally say that he was wrong and that his funding and encouragement of the abusive prosecition and demonising of them was wrong.

I will like to ask you about the Central Park Five and Trump's refusal to apologise, let alone his public encouragement and sideline participation in the incident.Why do you think Trump funded Hillary and Romney? Is it to do with him truly being racist on a deep level? There's a pattern you cannot deny.
