How Debates Work

📝

Evidence-Based

All arguments must include credible sources. Personal opinions alone are not sufficient — back your claims with data and research.

🤝

Civil Discourse

Respect all participants regardless of viewpoint. Ad hominem attacks, hate speech, and harassment result in immediate removal.

⚖️

Impartial Moderation

Trained moderators ensure fair play on all sides. No topic is off-limits, but all contributions must follow community standards.

🏆

Quality Rewards

Well-researched, persuasive arguments earn reputation points. Top contributors gain badges, visibility, and moderator privileges.
