New DDO members shouldn't be able to start debates right away.

Thanks to Double_R for his acceptance. I hope this will be a very entertaining debate. In my opening I will show the why the resolution is correct.Resolution: The Falcon Plan which outlines the procedure that a new DDO member must follow before being able to instigate debates is better than the current DDO system which allows new members to instigate debates as soon as they join.(A) Members better understand the world of DDOThe member can better understand the subtle nuances and unspoken etiquette about DDO. The more they learn about it, the more interesting it becomes. To an outsider, soccer or baseball may not seem very interesting or complicated. However, when they understand the game better, the finer points of the game and the different possible plays and tactics become more fascinating as the person learns more about them. The same is true for DDO. Reading debates made by other people and challenging themselves to critically analyze those debates engages newcomers enough that they can't wait to start. Newcomers can easily read and pseudovote on 5 debates in 2-3 days at which point they go through the tutorial and challenge someone they met in the forum or challenge a friendly person like rockylightning who probably added them as a friend the moment they entered the site.(B) Knowing where to find helpNew members can use the forum to ask for help. Sure, they can also do it under the current system, but many members just think that this is a debating site and are unaware of the help that the forums can be to them until much later. Under the new plan, because they are unable to start a debate (likely due to a message showing what they must do before starting a debate), they would know that they should pseudovote, or go to the forums, learn how to debate on DDO, and then debate.(C) Better DebatersThis leads to informed, trained debaters who will be a more valuable addition to the site than the majority of new members who leave after just one debate discouraged with their loss. Currently 2766 out of the 5410 members or nearly half of all members (49%) only have one debate [1]. The primary reason would be that they are discouraged with their debate and leave the site. Only 1150 members or just above 20% have at least one win. This means that nearly 80% of members on this site never won a debate [2]. With the new system, not only would it increase the number of interested, motivated debaters, but it would reduce the number of people who have the wrong idea of the site and who give up easily and are likely to present poor arguments, forfeit their debates and never come back. (D) Improved quality of debating The debates on DDO will be of a higher quality because both members will be well acqainted with standard rules and etiquette. DDO is a site of intellectuals and intelligent and well-argued debates are more popular than debates written by novices who don't follow the standard rules. Granted, joke debates/rap debates may be popular too but these serve a specific purpose and are different than amateur debates instigated by novices who are unable to competently debate.(E) Less forfietsMembers can be guaranteed that anyone they are debating is less likely to forfeit or post random incoherent rubbish than they would be under the current system. This is because these members have taken the effort to read at least 5 deabtes, analyzed them in their pseudovotes, posted 5 forum topics and passed a short tutorial. They are well aware of what they walking into. The kind of people who will become established members of DDO will be persistent people who are interested enough in the concept of online debating and DDO that they would not want to pack up and leave when they see an argument they cannot respond to. They will understand what the site is about and will want to pursue it. This creates less forfeits than the current system.Note: IP addresses/phone numbers should continue to be checked, trolling must continue to be reported etc. I don't advocate making any changes to those aspects of DDO.Sources[1] http://www.debate.org...[2] http://www.debate.org...
