How come you would invest time and money in a new debate website if you could've used that effort for this one?

First thing I see after months being away. I again have the eerie feeling that the civilization I live in is slowly reenacting the rat utopia experiment.

Respect for other usersUsers must treat other users with respect and refrain from personal attacks, insults, or discriminatory language. We do not tolerate any form of harassment, bullying, or threats of violence. All users are encouraged to engage in productive and respectful debates, even if they disagree with the opinions of others.Respect is earned, not given.

The rise of social media as a primary source of news distribution has thus far done more harm than good to society.
I agree to this topic and the changes you made.

It is possible for users to put full effort in all of their debates regardless of high number. This may not work or suit for you, but you do not know what other people are capable of handling in the way of debates

I specified no trolling, but that is not enough for you. I did not see the PMs as an option because you tend to be more silent, so I would not expect an answer. If you are worried I was playing a joke, I was genuinely interested in hearing what you thought and opposing views--one of the core uses of a forum

Perhaps directing users to some sort of "Beginner's Guide" when they join might be helpful.

Additionally, this is not directly related to the UI but new users will be confused by the "slang" used on the site: DDO, DART, BoP, Kritik, etc.
I recommend adding a place new users can go to understand these terms in a forum or addition to Help Center

It will be interesting to see how they [vegans] justify killing insects.
Not all vegans are against the universal consumption of meat and animals. They are, at baseline, against their personal consumption of meat and animal products

It is possible to get away with prosecution and to sue, but your argument is self-defeating. If you were not born, you would not be able to have this argument. You are defending that you should not be alive right now. It would be better if you not alive.
It appears you are blaming those around you, especially your parents, for where you are in life right now. If you viewed your life as good, you would not be arguing for this.
You would definitely have a disorder that is akin to suicide to say it would better off I did not exist

Well, at least for the sake of letting us feel like we can know what is going on. We need to feel comfortable admitting that our leader knows what he is doing. By keeping us more in the dark, we are much more inclined to accuse you of deception and tomfoolery. By shadowing your intentions, you are more likely to truly be deceptive
I actually changed my mind about them being weekly.
I recommend you finalize your announcements beforehand. Your indecision weakens your credibility

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

@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.

This can be YouTube or BBC News or something entirely else.

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
