Welcome to the Thunderdome. Here we facilitate 1 on 1 debates focusing on defending / attacking a single assertion, and keeping the debate on topic.
Rules:
- To begin a debate, state an assertion you wish to debate. State if you are defending or attacking the assertion. Tag a user if you are wishing to debate somebody in particular. Choose your ruleset in your initial post (see below).
- Debate topics should be limited to or topic / assertion, or a single group of ideas. If you want to challenge multiple unrelated ideas, start multiple threads.
- Anybody may respond to a new debate thread with their rebuttal. When the OP chooses an opponent, he will reply to the rebuttal he prefers to rebut. All other rebuttals will be removed. If he wishes to have the same debate with multiple opponents, a new thread with a user tag should be created for each debate.
- Debates should keep on topic. Changing topics should be moved to a new debate thread.
- Images that aren't used to illustrate the point (graphs, proofs, etc) are disallowed (memes, etc).
- Blatant insults are disallowed.
Debate Rulesets to choose from:
- Indefinite debate until one user concedes or until 7 days pass with no responses.
- Short debate: OP and Opponent get one comment each per round, 5 rounds (unless conceded or timeout 7 days no reply). Onlookers vote after on winner.
- Long debate: OP and Opponent get one comment each per round, 15 rounds (unless conceded or timeout 7 days no reply). Onlookers vote after on winner.
- Custom rules, state in OP.
