I think he can legitimately go back to prison now for what he admitted. I am not sure what to say exactly.
I can’t agree with you more. I draw a very hard line at sexual abuse especially of a minor. I was disgusted when he tried to blank the 13-year-old.
I actually have no problem with this. There's nothing wrong with running your opponent's argument into an AI bot if you don't understand fully what they are saying. However, it is better to ask for clarification first.
In of course

kuranasophiya has been permanently banned for spam. Several spam threads have been cleaned up and removed.
Edit: smithmarsa, an alt account of kuranasophiya, was previously banned by whiteflame for spam.
These are honestly great points. IMO restraining orders were / are an absolute nightmare. The moderator team will discuss this.
I honestly use both and use both as a cross check for each other. I like ChatGPT better mostly because I despise Elon Musk. I've asked both bots some very basic questions and have seen both get it extremely wrong. I've corrected both bots on multiple occasions. AI has utility but we should not blindly trust AI
I think redoing it monthly would be an absolute overkill. I would say that if they got more than 3 votes removed in a 30 day period they would need to retake the tests.
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - definitely had me tearing up at the end when Fi vanished into the sword. As much as I'm not the biggest fan of Fi the departure of Fi definitely had me tearing up.
This is a known bug that we are working on. That said, your vote and RFD did actually go through!
Could not agree more

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 as soon as we find one with a similar elo. Ultrarated debates consist of 3 rounds and allow 3 days per argument. Each round has a 10,000 character limit for each side. When your debate receives 3 votes that pass voting standards, the voting period will end.
A list of topics can be found here:
https://www.debatecraft.com/debates/ultrarated-topics
How to submit a topic
Go to your profile -> Badges -> Earn a topic badge. Read the guidelines, take a quiz, and submit topics for ultra rated debates!
Become a certified judge
Go to your profile -> Badges -> earn a vote badge. Read the voting guidelines, take a quiz, and become a certified judge! Eventually this quiz will be mandatory for anyone who wants to have the right to vote on debatecraft.
Happy deabting,

Just allow it. People who use AI are likely to lose because AI makes such bad arguments sometimes. Personally, I have to instruct AI a lot so it gets somewhat better at its arguments:
This has been my experience as well. You really have to prompt it and ask multiple questions to get it to revise to get a semi-decent debate argument going.
After my debate with PhilosophicalJay I ran the arguments through a few Ais to check my work and see how I can improve. I called out one of his arguments for being invalid. One of the AI bots said I was wrong and it was valid. After pressing it hard it finally admitted I was right and the argument was invalid from the start.
AI is really bad at deep philosophical stuff.
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 Arguments?
Option 1: Blanket prohibition
Prohibited for any reason, including research, argument reviews, source finding, etc.
Option 2: Blanket permission
Permitted for any reason, including permission to copy and paste directly from AI.
Option 3: A middle ground
Prohibited from copying and pasting directly, but permitted to research, review, find sources, simulate rebuttals, etc.
Question 2: What should be the punishment for violating AI rules?
Option 1: No punishment
No warning or bans and let the voters punish them with a L.
Option 2: Progressive punishment
Frist offense warning; second offense 3 day ban; fourth offense 30 day ban; 5th offense 6 month ban, etc.
Question 3: How should we moderate AI VOTES
This is a more serious category as some voters may use AI in writing their RFD or allowing them to think for them.
Option 1: Complete prohibition
Option 2: Partial permission (please discuss)
Option 3: Complete permission
Question 3 How should we punish voting violation?
Option 1: No punishment
No warning or bans and let the voters punish them with a L.
Option 2: Progressive punishment
Frist offense warning; second offense 3 day ban; fourth offense 30 day ban; 5th offense 6 month ban, etc.
Question 4: Should we allow debaters to change the default rules?
Discussion is now open. Thank you for your participation!
Yep! We can mark the entire account as offensive and all of their posts will be marked as offensive. The mods can unmark a post as offensive but it saves a lot of time if 99% of their content is rage bait garbage.
I'll try to translate it. But first I need to know if it's Egyptian or if it's reformed Egyptian
We have a feature that if so many posts are marked as offensive then we can mark the entire account as offensive and all posts will be marked as offensive.

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 for a win. This drove several high quality users away from the site.
DebateCraft has a feature where moderators can continue to remove votes even after the voting period is over. This will prevent last minute vote bombs and cheating attempts.
If you see a vote that doesn't look quite right, please message a moderator and we'll review the vote.
Happy debating!

It should be fixed. I just started a debate and it was accepted within a few minutes
Panpsychism is quite intesting to read about
This is such a strawman.
I like the second one

True. I personally would prefer a clean slate. As an alternate make their default rating what it was on debateart. If I was a new user I’d look at my profile and wonder why it says I did 50 debates but only shows 3.
I think we should start from scratch and have a clean slate rather than having the old site affect our ELO
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.
Note that the best way to do this is through the bug reporting thread in the discord server; however, we recognize not everyone wants to use discord.
ba ba ba ba ba I'm hatin' it
