This is the new moderation log that will be replacing the old one. This thread is a log on ongoing bans, bother permanent and temporarily, which were effectuated on or after October 29, 2019. Not included in this log are bans impacting accounts which were created exclusively for commercial advertising or spam-related purposes. The information given for each kind of log is clearly stated below:
- Entries of permanent bans will state the date the ban was effectuated and provide a brief (not more than 500 characters) summary of why the user was permanently banned
- Entries of temporary bans will state the length of the ban and the date the ban was effectuated
- Entries of bans by request (i.e. bans a user requested be applied to their own account) will state the date the ban was effectuated.
- Entries of closed multi-accounts (i.e. old accounts of otherwise active users) will state the date the ban was effectuated.
As the new chief moderator, my goal is to make the moderation team more transparent with our process. Additionally, we believe that debaters expect their opponent to be able to finish their debates and will naturally be curious when someone is banned. I am moving the ban log from the miscellaneous section to the DebateArt.com section to make this thread more transparent and easier to see.
The moderator who made the ban ruling will also be included in all entries. Moderation will not offer public comment on the reasons for temporary bans unless and until either (a) the banned user returns and raises the issue publicly or (b) public interest outweighs the banned user's privacy concerns.
If you have any questions as to why someone was banned, please refer them to this post.
If you are banned and want to appeal your ban, please email us at [email protected].

Greetings, everyone!
I have some sad news to share. Speedrace is stepping down from his position as forum moderator. We appreciate the hard work, dedication, and insight that he brought to the team. Needless to say, speedrace is welcome back to the moderation team anytime he feels ready. I wish him the best as he finishes up the semester and starts college.
As of now, the moderation team is:
Chief Moderator: Virtuoso
Deputy Moderator: Ragnar
Voting Moderator: Blamonkey
Voting Moderator: Christopher_best
Thank you,
-Virtuoso

Greetings, everyone!
I wanted to update you guys on a few things that are going on behind the scenes. I have not been able to get a hold of PressF4Respect. As such, drafterman will be taking his place and is being promoted to forum moderator. Please welcome him to the team! That being said, SupaDudz will be announcing the new discord assistant mod soon.
Next, we are currently working to revise and expand the Code of Conduct to make it easier to understand and digest. One thing that we are considering is splicing it up into three sections under the umbrella "terms of service." If you look at that page, you will see exactly what we mean. The only text that has changed is adding a link to the moderator's profile and a statement that you must be at least 13 years of age to join our site in compliance with COPPA. We would like some feedback for this change
I would now like to open up a discussion on what you would like to see changed in the COC and what changes you would like to see the moderation team make.
Regards,
Virtuoso

Greetings, everyone!
The moderation team is looking to add two new moderators to our ranks. We are looking for both a debate moderator and a forum moderator.
The debate moderator will work closely with blamonkey, myself, and Ragnar in handling reported votes, reported debates, and reported debate comments.
The forum moderator will be working closely with speedrace, myself, and Ragnar in handling forum reports, sending warnings, and possibly determine if a user should get a temp-ban.
We will be accepting applications until the end of the week. Please get them in ASAP if you want to be considered.
Edit: To be clear, if you want to apply, please contact me (Virt) directly.
Note: Applications are now closed
