MEEP: Voting Policy, Part 2
1. Is the current MEEP process an acceptable framework for hosting these policy discussions? Generally, the reviews of MEEP seemed positive, but confirmation of that impression is important. The MEEP process is described below.

MEEPs (Moderation Engagement and Enactment Processes) will be periodically instigated by moderation in order to gain community feedback on various policy options and to obtain the community's approval or disapproval of those policy options. This will ensure that the site usership will have the opportunity to democratically weigh in on moderation policies. In order to ensure that the result of any MEEP process reflects the will of a substantial number of community members, for a specific MEEP result to be binding, at least 10 users must have expressed a preference on the policy in question, and more than a majority of participants must be in agreement. That means, in a MEEP with 10 voters, the minimum threshold for a binding result is 7-3; similarly, a in MEEP with 19 voters, the minimum threshold for a binding result is 11-8. Again, this ensures that the outcome of the process reflects the consensus of a significant number of site users. If a MEEP result is not binding/valid, moderation will maintain the pre-MEEP status quo, whatever that happens to be. MEEP commentary periods will be open for feedback for at least two days, and may be switched a read-only mode shortly after that period in order to signal a clear end to the MEEP process. MEEPs will be broadcast using the site's announcement feature to ensure maximum awareness.
It starts
discussion
. I think they are acceptable. I think they need some more key discussions
2. Should an opt-in voting standard which is less stringent than the default be implemented for debaters? A potential such opt-in standard is described below.

  • To award argument points, the voter must (1) analyze the argument they found most important, (2) explain who is winning that argument and why.
  • To award sources points, the voter must (1) offer a comparative statement about the quality of each side's sources, or note that one side did not use sources while the other did, and (2) point to a specific good or bad source.
  • To award spelling and grammar points, the voter must (1) offer a comparative statement about the quality of each side's spelling and grammar and (2) point to a specific instance of poor spelling and grammar.
  • To award conduct points, the voter must (1) offer a comparative statement about the conduct of each side, and (2) point to a specific act of misconduct by a particular side
This is evident. I think voters should do this. Yes
3. Should moderation moderate select-winner votes using the argument standard currently applied to the 7-point system?
Yes

4. Should moderation be able to suspend problematic votes prior to deleting the voting in order to give the voter to fix the vote before the vote is taken down?
No

5. Should there be an opt-in for stricter moderation standards? If yes, what should those standards look like?


No for now. Not until I see a major flaw that happened with the mods

They still make a comeback down 23-7. There are 2% of games that you can blame refs. Fmpov, this is not a game like this. They made a great comeback and beat a top 6 team

The Power of Positive Thinking
Negative mindsets can cause you to believe something is worse than it is, and when it turns out better, you have more of a desire to go back. Versus positive thinking where your more likely to be disappointed

If The NFL Season Ended Today on Week 13(Playoff Predictions)
WILD CARD NFC
3. Bears
6. Redskins

Bears win 30-14

Without Alex Smith and good receivers, the Redskins can't compete. Too many injuries and too many bad players offensively that the #1 defense in the league can take advantage of. Offensive will come up strong. Bears win big. Also Sanchez may have to start #ButtFumble

4. Cowboys
5. Seahawks

Cowboys win 17-13

If that defense is capable of stopping the Saints, I don't have a problem picking them over the Seahawks. The defense for the Seahawks is good with bigger names, but not as consistent as Dallas

WILD CARD AFC

3. Texans
6. Ravens

Texans win 34-20.

Texans have too much offensive weapons on their team and prove they can get stuff done with. I have no issue taking them over the Ravens. The Ravens offense is very slow and Lamar can't rush when JJ Watt will sack you. The Texans D is underrated, they are a sleeper team, but watch out for Indy

4. Steelers
5. Chargers 

Chargers win 27-24

Another rematch. The Chargers are a top team in the league, but the Chiefs are looking better. If they can clean house vs the Steelers in SNF, they can do so in a big time playoff game with weapons like Joey Bosa, Kenan Allen, and Melvin Gordon. Also look at Ekeler and Justin Jackson. Sleepers. Desmond King is a future star

DIVISIONAL NFC

1. Rams
4. Cowboys

Rams win 30-23

The Cowboys will put a hella of a fight versus a complete Rams defense. But they have a defense locked and loaded vs Zeke. It will be a great match, but Rams will come out on top

2. Saints
3. Bears

Bears win 17-10

The Cowboys defense locked down that offense with Brees. The Bears have a way better defense and a more stable offense than the Cowboys. I think with good playcalling and Trubisky playing great like he did vs the Lions and Bucs, they will pull off a major upset

DIVISIONAL AFC

1. Chiefs
5. Chargers

Chargers win 38-24

Don't sleep on the Bolt. Without Kareem Hunt and a good RB crew, the Chiefs can only pass with Mahomes, and the Chargers have a good defense that can pressure the ball. Also with a horrible Chiefs defense, they can just run and pass and get all the points they need. Chargers are going ALL THE WAY!

2. Patriots
3. Texans

Patriots win 28-20

Experience will win in this case. Texans are a sleeper, but they wont be the GOAT

CONFERENCE CHAMPS 

1. Rams
3. Bears

Rams win 24-17

The Rams are a more complete team and the Bears are not going to compete offensively. The Rams are stacked and are the best team in the NFL fmpov. They will get the job done and take home a NFC Title just because A. Bears lack XP and B. Not consistent offensively yet, Bears will be a super bowl contender soon tho.

2. Patriots
5. Chargers

Patriots win 28-17

What an epic win vs the Vikings. Listen I do not think the Chargers defense can win if the defense played that way vs the Vikings. The Pats always come up big in big games, so I have to give the win to Brady and the crew as they go to their 3rd straight Super Bowl


SUPER BOWL

1. LA RAMS
2. NE PATS

RAMS WIN 37-30

A more complete team, a more explosive offense, a more explosive defense vs mediocre and old. I think it is time for a new era in the NFL. THE RAMS ARE HERE TO GET LOMBARDI

College Football: Playoff + Conference Predictions
1. Alabama
4. Oklahoma

Alabama torches Oklahoma
42-17-Bama

2. Clemson
3. Notre Dame

Notre Dame will beat Clemson as Clemson hasn't faced a big opponent like Notre Dame
30-20 Notre Dame

1. Alabama
3. Notre Dame

If Tua is healthy, Bama will win. If Tua is hurt, I still think Bama will make it close, but ND will pull it off. Since Tua likely to play fmpov, Bama wins
41-30 Bama

Did you honestly get mad at this line

“WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY I WILL FUCKING SLIT YOUR THROAT IN HALF YOU GODDAMN ABOMINATION!!! DO YOU KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE TALKING TO PEASANT?” screamed Rational.
You said:
You're a motherfucking mortal, watch these tentacles as they rape,.
You're gon' be screaming like a hentai girl you say I watch on tape,
You're the type to scream for mercy, try to tell me that you're sorry,

That is a little extreme. See, exaggeration for something that is true. You act like a barbarian in a rap battle scenario which that line was referring too
