    Rules

    1. Attack the problem - not the person.
    E.g. Only idiots vote yes for gay marriage.

    2. Debates should not be based upon opinions.
    E.g. Grunts or Elites?

    3. Debates should not be centered on hate.
    E.g. Does God hate atheists?


    4. Rule Two is to be disregarded if your debate strongly focuses on intellectual philosophy.
    E.g. Immortality or Death?

    5. Forum wide rules apply here as well. No spam.

    Guidelines

    1. Cite your sources. If you see someone doing this, +rep.

    2. Use proper grammar, if not for us, but the credibility of your argument.

    3. Check the box to remove your sig when posting in a debate.

    The Debate Forum has only been up for a few hours, yet people are not following the guidelines. There are actually many of you that have followed them, but those of you that haven't overrule those of you that do.
    So, I'll let it go for tonight, but I, personally, will start giving out infractions to anyone that doesn't follow both:

    • The signature guideline
      And
    • The proper grammar guideline
    So watch out!

    I will be moving any thread that does not follow all the rules to the off topic section and adding "Debate:" in front of the title. Please follow all the rules.
