IMO: I'd rather get no votes on a debate than a bunch of RFDs fully AI-generated. If we were going to allow AI generated RFDs then we may as well just institute an AI bot that judges debates automatically once the debate ends.

The problem with fully AI-generated RFDs is that the way you prompt an I matters how it will answer the question. If you ask it "Why did PRO win / lose this debate" it will spit out a very much biased RFD.

AIOnlineAudits has been banned from voting due to posting multiple AI generated RFDs
As a reminder AI may be allowed in certain contexts but AI is strictly banned when voting on debates.
Welcome back

I know its a bit long reach, but site looks more and more professional and similar to top tier sites, so maybe at some point it can also be social media site, with like users being able to post on their wall on profile like they have on facebook, maybe videos too in future. I am sure we shouldnt be just a debate site, cuz thats too small reach. We should definitely be everything to everyone.
This is something I’m actually moving towards

I would say unban Debby and limit her post number to 15 per day, but I know it ain't happening.
Debby has been unbanned. She just hasn’t returned

the only issue I see so far is text in debates in debate section being a bit more difficult to read, so maybe make it slightly bigger or something in dark mode, idk
This should be fixed. I made huge UI changes to the debate stage. Lmk your thoughts.

Did you not think it was adequately addressed in this survey? What additional questions would you want to see people surveyed on?
One of the problems I'm seeing is between that survey and now we have a lot more AI slop that has appeared throughout the site. I think it is worth revisiting.
One thing I want to address in this round of the COC is to really nail down the use of AI in debates. When should AI be used and when should it become a moderable offense?

Thanks! I'm making debate UI improvements as we speak so that might be in my next pass.
Several people have been asking about making a dark mode. The wait is finally over. I have made a native dark mode theme.
Please let me know your thoughts. If something in dark mode seems broken or hard to read please let me know so I can fix it.
Wow! I can't believe it's been a year already. Thank you, Airmax, and the rest of the team for making debatecraft possible!
I am horrible at rapping but would be down to the
Greetings,
As you can see we've been very busy with making visual improvements to the site. We would like your feedback on what we have done so far. What is working and what do you think should be improved?
I can definitely see this happening. The question I have is what happens to the GOP post Trump? Trump has been the glue holding the GOP together.
2028 will be an interesting election to watch. Neither side has a clear heir apparent. 2028 will be a blood bath

Just wanna say all these site changes are very cool. I don’t participate in threads outside of mafia much nor do I debate. But stuff like this would have wowed me a lot more 5 years ago. Glad to see active developers who are passionate about the community putting in work. Even though I don’t use a lot of the non mafia related features, I appreciate that they are being done.
Thank you, Luna.
I am very happy we have a strong team. I am currently working on big issues v2 - more questions + more accurate calculator

This classing me as a moderate is hilarious. Maybe I should run for Congress on my Big Issues platform.
Sounds about right. You are definitely on the right side of moderate thigh you have some significant disagreements pulling you towards moderate and not center right or right

I wonder what would my politicial ideology be. Probably anarcho-fascist.
Right now it only has the left-right spectrum. Perhaps in future releases I can add more stuff like that
Hello friends,
I'm excited to announce that we are going to be releasing a new feature soon that I am copying from the days of debate.org. Back on DDO there was a thing called the big issues. This was a brief survey of hot button issues where you selected if you were pro, unsure, or con. This helped you see how similar / disimlar you were to another member.
What is really cool is that I built in a political typology measurement. This will calculate where you are on the political spectrum based on how you answer.

What quesitons / issues would you like to see on this feature?
Best Moments
1. The Pitt DP2 when Luna fake claimed tracker result on their partner wylted. Luna HARD bussed wylted, got massive town cred, and won in MyLo. This was such a ballsy play and it paid off big time.
May add more later

I’ll also probably nominate the obvious
Airmax - for putting his own money and resources on the line to make this site possible.
Savant - for doing the hard part in getting this site coded and for patiently teaching me how to code
Whiteflame - For his continuous efforts in debates, votes, and mafia. He has also been a mod for many years and is a great person to work with.

Who is even a real new user then, we must clarify that.
A person who has never had an account on DDO or dart. I didn’t realize shoresh was grey parrot
I’m not opposed to increasing the number of nominations. I was copying the inaugural HOF from dart

Justification for Shoresy (who I now assume is authentically new since mod Kohai didn't say otherwise): He is very active, opinionated and while he's sometimes toxic in how he will express his view he's not bad faith trolling he really believes in whatever his stance is.
I gather that he's an unusual variant of right wing potentially Ancap, this leads to some strange takes where it doesn't align with the 'right' as americans know it and him being Canadian and slightly anti Republican while being also heavily anti-Dem gives him a genuinely unique perspective here.
Not quite sure. Regardless definitely eligible for best user.
Don't forget to write a brief justification for your nominations.
