How is the site going to compute with my seven rated debates that are already in action?

@DebateArt.com
@PREZ-HILTON
A noob should only need 2 rated debates to vote and 0 unrated debates to debate rated.5???? They need to complete 5 unrated debages to even begin to debate rated. Even I would just do low valye trash debates to meet that quotaWelcome to the new DART, unpleasant and undemocratic.
If Wylted and/or Debateart.com read this, I as a Dartizen want to know the precise reasoning for rated debates becoming restricted for new users.

Want do have some healthy competition? You do 1000 push-ups and i’ll do 1000 sit-ups and let’s see who finishes first. I’ll be starting at 13 GMT.I’ll comment when i’m done.
I already started three hours ago.
alright I did 100. I’m done
It's your choice. I do not know your physical limits, but I urge you to break a limit. If 100 is your peak, then well done

No longer do you need a certain debate rating as long as you have that qualification. I'll back this up just a bit more, I also no longer see where it allows you to make users have a certain rating or above to accept the debate
Thank you for the clarification. I suspected that as one of the reasons, but I wanted more feedback. Personally, if this is the true reason--most likely it is, I do not appreciate that change. It is good to have debates that are presently "unreachable" for lower ranked debators because the more skilled do not want to chance a novice accepting when that is not the Debate Creator's intention

i am concerned that youI thought what better way to acknowledge my existence than through suffering.do you mean that as a joke? or do you truely believe existence is acknowledged by suffering
I will sometimes use suffering as a way to understand my part in the world. Suffering is a part of life and must be handled effectively. My suffering usually allows for serious growth in situations. This is also under the umbrella of Responsibility is the meaning of life. Responsibility requires suffering and sacrifice. My achievement of 1,000 pushups will leave me a better man than I was before the workout
i am concerned...but i shall pray!
I appreciate your thoughtfulness and concern

I will start with I do appreciate that there is enough care for the site to receive an update. It appears some things were changed just for the sake of change. I personally liked the old font style and color. Like Sir.Lancelot said, "more vintage style." Perhaps I will get used to it.
Lots of "little" modifications throughout the site. For instance, one can no longer describe their age in their account. Not a drawback just an observation.
I do not quite understand some of the new "Qualifications" that must be meant for certain achievements. I do not get the "Rated debating" qualification. I have not meant the requirements to receive it yet, so does that mean I can no longer participate in rated debates?

What do you guys think?
I am probably one of the first to experience this update. I do not know exactly when it started, or when the update was finished. I was on the website around 10:30 am, and there had been no changes yet. I hopped back on around 12:30 am to see some modifications. Update occurred sometime in that 2 hour gap.
There have definitely been tweaks made to the site such as font style and font color. Slight adaptations elsewhere.
The question is: is this innovation or merely adaptation?
Has this update improved the site and how so?

It is now Valentine's Day for the United States.
This holiday is modernly known as a day of love. My Valentine's this year (hold back your tears) is: me. Today is all about appreciating my value and being thankful for my abilities. I thought what better way to acknowledge my existence than through suffering. On this day, Feb. 14, I will accomplish the feat of 1,000 push-ups. You are all welcome to join me in my exercise insanity (I think I'm insane sometimes). I also urge you to find something to love about yourself today. Be happy with who you are and grow to be your best. If 1,000 seems a stretch, do 100. If you do not like push-ups--I certainly don't, pick something else to do. It's all for the benefit of your well-being.
This is not meant to be satirical or perky, but a message of goodwill. Take it however you like

The idea for creating this forum came from reading a post from RM stating he is a flat-earther. https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/8762/post-links/367653
This forum has been created so he can share his thoughts and others can also give their piece on the subject. I find "Flat-Earth" views to be interesting and worth learning more about.
Conditions for Posting: No trolling--it's boring

Why do you care about the debates being unrated?
I don't want any more losses to affect my rating. I didn't even know about this "unrated" option till the end of last week. Since I was decently unprepared when I first entered DART (having no previous background in debating), my first six debates are going to result in: 1 win by FF, 1 tie/mutual forfeit, & 4 losses by FF. Four losses so early is a lot for me. It's not overwhelming, I just don't like what I did

I wish for Tom Brady to stay retired, for his own sake.
Wish granted.
As the wish sinks in and Tom Brady is relaxing, he suddenly has a mid-life crisis. His memories of the good ole days are warped and lead him to assume a sniper position from above in any NBL game he can sneak into. Every chance he gets, he shoots through the footballs so everyone can know what it is like to play the game with a flat ball.

I wish for an apology from everyone who voted against me in the presidential election
I just discovered this forum.
Wish granted. But then the mods suspect you of hacking roughly 20 accounts simultaneously on DART to post a forced apology, so they permaban you and remove your president title.
I wish I was Black.

@Wylted
Contrary to popular belief, I like RM. He frustrates me and sometimes it results in me saying things to him I regret, but what I say is reflective of my character or lack of it and not my actual opinions of whiteflame.
I am pretty certain his mild dislike of me is turning into some form of hatred though. Because I like him so much it used to hurt my feelings. I am kind of a fan, in a way. He was in this community before me and had a permanent ban. I only knew his legend. The absence of him and people's talk of him made it seem like this is the type of guy I could root for. It never quite went away even after getting to know him better.It's kind of like meeting your hero and then having them spit on you, LOL.
To be honest, there is a lot I could say about you... or with you. I don't want to talk about it here in public, but if you are interested in the "outsider's view" I have to offer, we can chat in the PMs.
If you think I am some stupid kid, I understand as well.

@Sir.Lancelot
RM regularly victimizes himself when he trashes people and cries to the mods when I do the same to him.
I think RM has certain obligations to the mods that are kept in secret. Even though Whiteflame stated to RM, "I don't know what handcuffs you think I've placed on you," there are probably other factors in play that are only known to a few select people.
I can see why he appears to you as though he is "complaining." This is probably due to irl behaviour on his part that contributes to how he acts online, but let me be clear: I do not want to discuss this because my perception starts to get murky in this area, and I do not wish to offend anybody by my mere hypotheses and theories.
Me being bitter doesn't mean I'm angry.It's pretty obvious under these circumstances that he is the one getting emotional.
Lancelot, what I am receiving is that you agree to being bitter but not to being angry. If that is not the case, correct me if I am mistaken. I don't want to argue about these specific quotes. I recommend: you let it go. Do not let the online communication on DART let you be "bitter." I only reach out to people in this way when they exhibit traits of "being capable of being influenced by others." I am assuming you are fairly young, early 20s if not a teenager. Whether for good or bad, you have been influenced by users on this site. Some have made you laugh, and others have upset you (if you do not like the phrase "upset" then fit it to your own description because I really do not want to argue on that point). Please, accept my words. Be in control of yourself at all times--not to say you have not been in control of yourself in the past and right now.
You clearly care about debating and the leaderboard. You want a high scoring. You also enjoy Star Wars. My point is to enjoy the good things in life that make you happy, are productive, and benefit other people around you. Be the best Sir.Lancelot you can be

No need to, your response is sufficient.This is all fun and games to you. You just forgot the game has rules and that some of us care.You want to back the so-called sith lord, be ready for all technicalities to be pulled out.Your vote should be discounted and I am being informed 2 votes for me were legitimate in all ways except they signed up a week ago.There is, in other words a way for me to win 21-20 right now based on enforcing the rules without bias.I will say no more. It is up to whiteflame, the DART owner Mike and destiny/god to see this through.You joke about destiny in another post. We will simply see. Next time you wish to prank as you did, delete your vote instead of editing, it at the very least leaves more uphill battle during the investigation.
That one just simply hurt your feelings--this is not meant to be patronizing.
"This is all fun and games to you." - RationalMadman
You do or at least did portray yourself this way.
1. RM talks shit to everyone. ^^^2. My beef with him comes from the fact that he poses as a good guy, but assumes the moral high ground constantly, deliberately mischaracterizes people, and gets petty when you call him on it. He has @'ed me several times in subtle callout threads and accused me and Wylted of fraud because I supported the latter in the election. Then plays victim when I respond.
1. No, he does not. I would not say he even talks rudely to most people. 2. Your problem with him is more so with his attitude. I do not mean a "negatively connotated" attitude, I mean his literal attitude. The way he acts. He does portray himself as the superior, and I would say he in fact is the "better man." He thinks your side is wrong, so he is going to express that. He gets more angry or opposed to a person, not when they say he is wrong, but when you and/or Wylted and/or anybody say they are right for what they have done in opposition to RM. Especially in the Presidential Election. He will attack his enemies, and he needs to demonstrate to everyone that his enemies are in the wrong. That is how he will gain support, allies, love, etc, or at the bare minimum people to oppose his enemies. Wylted... sort of does the same thing. But that is a discussion for a later Comment Post if you want me to expound on the topic. I understand people a lot better than the average person. RationalMadman and Wylted are no exception (as in I understand them, not that they are average people).
Then plays victim when I respond.
Explain that more. The examples show him volleying back his arguments and viewpoints, but he does not victimize himself in a passive-aggressive manner.
"I pity you, I worry for you. I don't type this to hurt you, I type this to talk down to you as you talk down to me except what I am saying is really true." - RationalMadman
This actually sums up RM in A LOT of ways.
This is also the same guy that acted like he was on good terms with whiteflame for a year and started shitting on him when he felt the mod was no longer useful.
You didn't join this website too long after I did, so I will assume you know roughly the same as me with Whiteflame's and RM's relationship. It is true that RM did not criticize Whiteflame in recent months so he could gain his vote. That is pure strategy. Wylted uses similar tactics but for more malicious intent.
I truly do not want you to be bitter over RM's actions towards you. Get mad at IRL things and use that as fuel to find a good path for peace and well-being

@Wylted
@Sir.Lancelot
RM is the only one who thinks highly enough of Wylted to put him on a pedestal.
I think you have "sung Wylted's praises" from time to time. Especially after he became president.
Wylted is a good debater, a decent troll, and a competent president
I agree with the first two, but it is too early for me to confirm the last one.
His beef with RM is not my beef with RM
I caution you from letting "your beef" control largely what you do on the site. Think about what you want and what RM wants. I do not know exactly why you dislike RationalMadman. If you would share, I can better understand your view. Right now, I would guess it is because he shoots you down on what you say. My examples would only be from forums dealing with the Presidential Election, but I am assuming there is more.
RM repeatedly engages in threats and callouts. Perhaps you'd reconsider if you knew how often he does these things he accuses other people of doing.
Well, I would say the reasoning behind RM's threats and others' threats are different. Threats can vary greatly. An example that you deem fitting to present would be appreciated. I will admit RM is aggressive in his speech sometimes, but that is part of his overall strategy. Whereas, it appears others threaten simply out of anger or hatred or apathy. We need to define what a threat is and what constitutes as a threat that slashes the CoC.
Then, the arguments will sometimes spiral into unreasonable posts. They have no gain except to cause unneeded division

I am not saying my next statements to explicitly defend RationalMadman, nor does he need my support.
You guys do not truly understand why you are arguing with RM. You see him as a target for your ridicule, but you engage in that because there are little to no consequences--at least instantly. Come on, this bickering is pointless when you understand RM's goals vs. your own. One of the only reasons you argue with him is because you know he will stay. He is not some noob user that will have his feelings hurt immediately and refuse to come back. There are people like that, so this behaviour is detrimental to the site. RM wants this site active and prosperous. You guys do not see the end result of your cutting words. What do you think would happen if RM left DART? He never will, but you attack him like he is some weak prey. RM is one of the very few major factors that have kept the website running. When you go after such a prominent figure on DART who works very hard to keep the site going, it is futile. I do not know how much the mods care for the site, nor do I want to explore this for concern of getting banned or the like. But I have seen what RM does, and I have seen what Wytled does.
Your attitudes are part of a bad "sub-culture" of the site that is unnecessarily negative and predatory. I am not saying these things because I think you are some evil non-Christians who are out to destroy the world. No, do not think of me as some sappy, hippy Christian who thinks we should all hug it out. I try to present an air of "innocence" and neutrality, but that is only because when I do strike, it will catch you off guard.
It is very plain to see that you guys are Wylted wanna-bes. Let me explain. Wylted has developed his own persona and image on the site. Even though he sometimes does not do productive things for the good of the site, he is his own type. I mean, Wylted at the very least is infamous. He in his own way promotes activity on the site. The rest of you mold yourselves to act like him, and thus lower your own reputations. You act like a pack of hyenas following the lion Scar (from "The Lion King"). The high school dictator and his henchmen. You do not stand out. You are an obstacle. The dynamic between RM and Wylted does not consist of your bickerings.
I do not want to fight. Unless it is necessary. I do not know if this was a particularly negative situation or if you guys alway act like this. This "problem" seems to be spreading like a disease though. I recommend doing things that promote activity and general peace. Do things that benefit the individual and the group, not just yourself.
I will await your justifications, personal attacks, and/or excuses. And I am ready for them
