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 know which parts I thought were stronger than others, but it would be interesting to hear what others think.We're the memes a nice flourish at the end or was it too much? Any feedba
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
Re: debate: Who is the funniest South park character?I have tried to vote on this debate.

Why do I always lose every debate where I am the instigator but when every debate when I am the contender?The contender always has an advantage since he can just change the definition of what the instigator said.

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? Default meaning that the use of AI is not specified in the description or title. Question 1: What should be the default rules for AI in Debate

We need more community members to come try forum mafia. It's a fun social deduction game where you have to discover a hidden informed minority in a large minority. I currently have sign ups going for a game that I need filled, If you have any questions about how to play, me or any of the other activ
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
Greetings,As you all know we are officially in alpha! Unfortunately that also means there are a lot of bugs and growing pains. If you found a bug please repot it here.

Hello friends,A big problem that has plagued DART and DDO over the past several years is last minute votes that come in that alter the course of the debate. Many of these votes clearly did not meet the voting standard that is required and some of these votes were from the same user muti accounting f
Are we going to implement a Hall of Fame? Are we going to carry it over from DART or should we start scratch. Discuss below
