Debate.org should have more information available before you become a member.

Okay, that Hillary Clinton thing was low. I know I haven't changed it, but I can still root for her even though she's not running. That is completely irrelevant to the topic so please lay off the personal attacks. And you are unprofessional for resorting to personal attacks (happy, Alex?). Now then, back to the matter at hand. So much to rebut. This could get annoying. First, you say, "My point was that I did not know if I would have minuets, hours, days, or even weeks to respond. I didn't have that information until I registered, made a profile, started a debate, made an opening argument, you accepted the debate, made your argument, and I came back to respond. Then I found out I have about 3 days to respond. You seem to think having that information before hand is unreasonable. I think being denied that information beforehand is unreasonable." You can actually find that information before you become a member. Just watch any debate. It says, for example "It is ********'s turn to debate. He has has 02:23:51:40 remaining to post his next argument, otherwise he will forfeit this round. When you see the seconds ticking down, you will realize that they are seconds, and work your way up to realize that from right to left it is seconds, minutes, hours, days. I do not think having it beforehand is unreasonable, just unnecessary. A (good) debater should be prepared to have a small amount of time to post an argument. But in the case that he MUST know beforehand, he can always check the other debates on this website. ------------------------------------------------- Next, you say " Breaking the rules would be typing the other way to pronounce "sofa king" but I would suspect that comparing someone's inability to keep up with the situation in a debate to that person still supporting Hillary Clinton even thought she is out of the race would be considered not "good form". Just a guess, but if the information was out there I wouldn't have to be guessing now would I?" Yea, I messed up there. Why do you need to know "good form"? You can make your own form and it's not like we vote based on the form, we vote based on how good you debated (at least that's what's supposed to happen) so why should you care? -------------------------------------------------- Quote from you: "Because many types of debates do not have the same amount of time per round. Here character count is somewhat being used instead of time, so if debate.org were adhering to many of the other forms of debate each round could have a different amount of time. But Again that information was not available until I got into a debate. Which is why debate.org should post it." Once again, the information was available to you. If you see my time model, you can check the time in all the types of debates on this site and see how long each round lasts beforehand. -------------------------------------------------- Quote from you: " I don't quite see how it would be unrealistic without a timer/counter, but you can have the same debate format with different amounts of time. And as to challenging... It would be more challenging if the form were somewhat different each time. You would have to constantly adapt, not only to your opponent but also to the field as it were. But once again this information was not available which is why...Debate.org should have more information available before you become a member." You can check if the timer is different each time (see above). --------------------------------------------------- Quote from you: "In real life I would not just walk away from court just because I don't have time. But I would also be able to find out about the law before going in. I would be able to talk to someone who has done it before. I would be able to learn something before being expected to speak to a jury. That is what I am asking from debate.org. Let us know about your court procedures before you ask us to testify." This in no way proposes another factor that debate.org leaves out before becoming a member. And if it does, you can see the procedures by watching and studying debates on debate.org before becoming a member. ---------------------------------------------------- And from there: "And finally when you weren't misquoting me, you had you own thought of" To "Again I agree. I don't want debate.org to tell me how to be a good debater. But I do I want debate.org to tell me about debate.org." Is completely irrelevant to the topic. Oh yea, and to the end. Vote Con. And Dali, please don't comment on that. Please.
