I don't know what the Dhar Mann situation is, and I don't really care. His videos are completely unwatchable. Blatant clickbait, the worst acting imaginable, moronic scripts, simplistic morals, and a grating, narcissistic sense of self-importance. And yet, somehow, that gets millions of views. The only thing Dhar Mann is good for is proving that humanity really is just that dumb.Now let me tell you how I really feel...
It's really juicy drama.
The actors participating in the jobs couldn't get high-paying ones, so they settled for acting in Dhar Mann's videos and dealt with the low-pay wages as a result. A lot of them realized the messages were cringe but they were doing it for the pay only. It's now being outed that Dhar Mann is a con-man.

I’m not going by faith, I’m basing my assessment from my own personal observation and previous experiences of him voting on my debates while we were sworn enemies.
Of course, that’s separate from characterizing who he is personally.

Perhaps ‘trust’ was the wrong word.
I know he will judge objectively.

Me and RM loathe the fuck out of eachother, but our personal views have never conflicted while voting.
He cries to the mods that I bully him, but I still trust his ability to judge objectively on my debates.

What's your opinion?
I can certainly sympathize with the actors’ frustration because the living circumstances in LA are nearly impossible, especially under Dhar’s pay.
Now with that said, it was semi-irritating to hear that they walked out of a meeting because Dhar himself was not present. (They arranged to meet with Dhar personally and negotiate their pay and were blindsided that the meeting was with Dhar’s associates.) So they walked out.
Then when the studio was filming, they proceeded to protest very obnoxiously and made loud noises, intentionally disrupting the work that was being done. Police were called on them and while I think Dhar was being an asshole, their decision to be a nuisance was uncalled for.

I assume you know about the protesting.
If not, here’s a video to get caught up.

Also you cannot have rated debates as is. So my interest has dwindled.
Temporary error of judgment that will be remedied soon.
Postpone the debate until then.

Personally, I like the concept of celebrating diversity but it can be overdone.
Overdone, as in to do so as a superficial way.
There have been complaints from black communities about a different kind of racism from liberals. The idea that white liberals believe they understand racism more than black people who have experienced it and will white-knight all african americans as victims of oppression.

I think it would be a good topic. I'm not opposed to freedom broadly, like I shouldn't be told every little aspect of my life, but people who say "muh freedom" in the face of genuinely good ideas without a detailed description how the loss of freedom lowers their quality of life more than it would be increased through social cohesion or whatever is goofy.Also, I think it's both. When two out of three of the first three debates that are currently voting are forfeited, that has an effect on the site.
Freedom in the context of a user's abilities to efficiently make use of the platform and when certain restrictions severely compromise said freedom, which then discourages people from engaging in the community due to limited mobility.
- Your freedom to vote for example.
- My freedom to create more debates.

@Sidewalker
I don't think you should be able to sue your parents for giving birth to you...I do however, think everyone else should be able to sue your parents for giving birth to you.
Sidewalker is not encouraging suicide. Lmao.
Also, the response is appropriate to the title of the thread. You're so sensitive and hypocritical.
How are you so bold when you implied you would be satisfied with someone here committing suicide, RM? Explain your hypocrisy. Didn't you say the following,
I hate you so as to register in my brain to not ever invest myself into you emotionally, I literally would smile if a Lannan thread got made about you.

I just disagree. 10 feels like a ridiculous amount. As someone who judged half a dozen of your debates, Sir.Lancelot, it's evident that too many active debates lowers a debaters quality and that lowers the quality of the site as people stack on debates that they don't participate in, that other people are then upset that they're engaging in.
Why would that be reason to infringe on a debaters' right to create more debates?
Presume that you are right that debate quality goes down, that raises three questions.
- How does that impact site quality?
- Isn't an opponent rewarded for one debater's poor quality?
- Don't debaters have the right to pick and choose which debates they take?
If a debater feels they can withstand the burden of carrying on ten or more debates at a time, stifling that opportunity is killing their engagement in the community and that leads to people leaving the site. Other debaters have the choice of whether or not to partake and if one forfeits, the other is compensated for it through increased rating or win percentage.

@AleutianTexan
The small amount of users who already use this site shouldn’t have to be restricted, as they are what is keeping the site alive.
They should have the ability to engage in as many debates as they desire.

Some debates have a wait-time of 1-3 weeks in-between responses.
And sometimes, people never post and forfeit anyway, meaning you have to wait to finish all of those debates before you can participate in new ones.

@DebateArt.com
Some debaters such as Lancelot and myself can handle many debates at once.
Could you enable the creation of limitless Rated debates?
We would be forced to participate then because there would be no advantage for forfeiting.

@AleutianTexan
Which matters more?
- Encouraging fewer debates with higher quality by restricting users' freedom?
- Promoting user activity and contribution by allowing multiple debates with lower quality.

Rat-man's comeback to me calling him by his new nickname was to address me as "wannabe BatMan." He also just did the same to you.
Be careful how you wield your words when trying to paint me the villain, batman.
Like what does that even mean??? Lmao.

The fact that Wylted has an investigator proof role does make it less likely that there's a ninja, though.

Extending the number to 20 or 25 will actually increase activity within the site.
Google tends to obscure certain sites based on inactivity and filter bubbles, but increasing the number of debates at a time could reverse this by making it more searchable.

The response time of a lot of debates are usually a week.
I don’t think it would hurt to extend the maximum limit to 20 or 25.

Is there still an option to create debates? It seems to have disappeared.
Created:
There’s a backup site I’m working on hosted on a separate server.
Already has features like the option to debate, but it’s underdeveloped, so it’s still a work in progress. Trying to set it up to look like Reddit/Quora.
