Question I have. Not sure I heard a rumor about it but I haven’t been able to see it in action. How does the rating system work?

Melcharaz keeps bringing up this 24/7, but I think Kohai did say this was for ultrarated debates. Are there two different systems or is there just some confusion going on? Anyone have a good answer?
Just incase I or someone else forget.Votes are scored on a 5-point scale. A score of 4 or higher is required for a vote to be considered sufficient and count toward the outcome of a debate.5 Excellent In addition to meeting all the criteria for a sufficient vote (Score 4), the vote does at least TWO
In DART restraining orders were a problem for most people, the reason they were a problem was because mods got to decide if interactions between 2 people were worth a restraining order, however this is a flawed concept for 3 reasons1: This is an online website, not a actual real life situation where
Is it owned by one person or a group or a company? How much power does the owner have? Do you make money from this site or lose money?
Hey Everyone!Thanks for your continued interest in and support for DebateCraft! We are working on several Youtube projects from debates to political series and gaming movies, and I'm excited for all of them to come out soon. One of these projects includes simple gaming videos of Mike and I playing g
Note: These standards only apply to ultra rated debates Topic Creation GuidelinesResolution Must be specific, with a clear scope of what is and isn’t being debated.Must be fair, with each side having a roughly equal opportunity to win. Recommended formats:“THBT: …”, “THW:…”, “Resolved: …”, or a Ye
Some of the standards of how a debate should be done is getting weird, there should be a guideline on what makes the debate to win or lose. Should the title account for it? Or should the description be unchallengable? Does arguementation have to include certain patterns of wording? What logical fall
Does anyone use other debate sites? Do you prefer this site over others?
Most of the amount of wins people achieved in dart and possibly ddo was from people who foreited a debate, be it more than half or the whole debate entirely. Why should that count toward the other person's rating just cause someone didnt show up? This doesnt show merit on the side of the person who
To promote the site and the Ultrarated debate feature (pairing debaters with random opponents on random topics), DebateCraft will be hosting an Ultrarated tournament. This is your chance to test your skills against debaters on the top of the Rated leaderboard and see your name go down in DC history.
The concept of ultra debating is as flawed as the former DART version of it, you segregate people based on effort instead of ideas, you create a vaccum and gate keeping effect that spirals towards echo chamberism. Sure it may be consider minimal now, but it wont be in the future. Dart and ddo proved
Hey DebateCrafters! (DebateCraftians?, DCers?)It has been a fast moving and incredibly exciting first 2 months. As we near the 2 month birthday of DebateCraft, I just wanted to extend my gratitude towards all of you, and let you know how excited we are to continue to develop DebateCraft.First of all
I think if a specific section for debates over voice chat was added, the site would be improved. Certain members could be approved as unbiased moderators in order to keep debates in order, and much like the written debates, the rules would be agreed upon before hand. It would also add potential for
The state of tests offer a very easy 5 question with 4 answer method. This however can be simply retook over and over and cause the person who passed to forget what they learned. I suggest adding a total of 15-25 questions with multiple points, and introduce broader applications to the standards and
History has shown in ddo and dart that people leave when they feel harassed. This isnt a website to test the emotional resolve or to train them to deal with arguement outside the debate, this isnt a purist website to let in only the most qualified or the most base of people,This is a website for deb

I recommend a new stand and revision of voting policy for debatecraft, we arent DART, this is a new website, new leadership, new inspiration for debates due to recent death of charlie kirk. Doesnt matter if 90% are ddo or DART members. This also should be discussed in discord. I will list my PERSONA

Greetings,There has been some controversy in recent debates on how AI is used in debates. The question is what should be the default rules for AI in debates?

Over the past few days our team has been working hard to release a few new features. One of these features is an ultratated debate. Ultrarated debates are designed to be the highest quality debates this site has to offer. You will be assigned a random topic and position, as well as a random opponent
There are a couple of old debates that still show up when they should have been deleted a couple weeks ago. I think they are on there because of my account seeing them before. If I log out, I cannot seem them. When I click on them it just has an error screen, it’s really annoying, and I’m worried th
We should add fan theory debates. In these debates you use “evidence” from the stories, episodes, etc. I think they might be very interesting. Anyone else like the idea?
Why does there have to be so many random people on this forum? Most of them haven’t even done any sort of debate and they just keep talking on the forums and don’t have any of their information filled out so it just says “unknown” instead of “I prefer not to answer” or “not sure.”
i’ve seen my opponent do it before
Perhaps there would be some benefit from the addition a "Debate" forum topic. This could be a place to help people grow in their knowledge of debate strategy, terminology, logic, and other such areas. It would also potentially improve the quality of debates, contributing to a better experience for n
