Voting on Debate.org Should Be One Point Per Vote

I look forward to this! My opponent has only provided one argument to support his position. That argument is this: Because there exists three different voting styles (thoughtful voting, casual voting, and dishonest voting), the votes as a collectively whole become distorted; and therefore reverting to debate. org's previous voting system would be beneficial. I offer the following counterarguments: 1) My opponent's entire premise is flawed. As I and many other v2ers can vouch, the old debate. org voting system was much, much worse. There was a reason we v2ers pleaded for this amended voting system. 2) Your argument rests on the assumption that users actually care about their win ratios. For example, the cleaners have denounced win-ratio-worrying (. http://www.debate.org...); and instead, they debate for fun and learning. Others, such as askbob, have created their own systems for counting votes (. http://www.debate.org...). Furthermore, for those who care about their win ratios, the debate. org sys admin is currently building a vote-bomb-removal program (. http://www.debate.org...). So, really: Everyone should have no problem with the current voting system. 3) The flaw does not lie in the voting system, but in the users who do not follow debate. org's debate guideline and TOS. The voting guideline (. http://www.debate.org...) specifically tells users how to vote. Hopefully, we will soon have user moderators (the Webmaster has hinted at this feature many times), and bad users will no longer be a problem. Again, it is not the voting system, but some of its users, whose votes (like I mentioned in point two) will soon be removed. 4) Your system is impractical. You've conceded this. A system to convert all current votes to a proverbial binary system would take way too long to make, especially considering that the current system works fine. 5) As for the thoughtful voters, they often leave comments explaining how and why they voted. They give suggestions to the debaters, and this helps them improve their debate skills. Without the many categories, it would be harder for these "cleaners" to give reasons for why they voted. This would lead to confusion and would destroy the very intent of their helping, thus destroying the fun atmosphere debate. org is supposed to be founded on (. http://www.debate.org...). 6) I am uncomfortable accepting your "casual voter" premise. You bear the burden of proof in proving that a significant number of them exists (if at all). Honestly, I think that if people are going to spend the time to read a full debate, that they wouldn't be so lazy as to not spend the time to think for half a second, and judge the categories fairly. 7) The current system allows an easier identification of vote bombers. Vote bombers generally bomb all seven points, and so all of their information is shown in the "Votes" tab six times. This makes it easier to identify which users are bombers so we can report them. Imagine if you only had one vote statistic to judge off, which was mixed with tons of other votes. It would be virtually impossible to determine who the vote bombers are! Those are my objections and arguments for why we should not revert back to the old voting system. I leave the floor open to my opponent.
