OFFICIAL FEATURE REQUEST THREAD

Blackflag: What if you refresh the page while on my profile?

Also, what's your browser?

admin: i can see it now because u did the repuload method i think

i use chrome (you would know that with ur admin stuff but i see ur not invading my privacy enough)

Blackflag: Nope, I never collect details of users without their input except aggregate analytics (that I can't trace back to individual users) and stuff that I need should I have to ban people.

I didn't reupload it BTW. When I uploaded it I had the checkbox unselected (so only I could see it) then I changed the value of the checkbox without reuploading the image.

admin: ok then maybe it's refreshing... sorry

One can now forcibly uncoach somebody. Just click their profile, then click "uncoach".

admin: how rude

Blackflag: Hey, you're the one that asked for the feature!

That's all for now, I'll add some more later when I have some time.

As I've only ever done one online debate (and won, 100% success rate right here) I don't have much of a leg to stand on but I get really sick of the number of forfeited debates. I think it's pretty rude to waste people's time like that when it's done on a continual basis and I don't think it goes with the whole "we're here to get better at debating" theme you have going. I completely get that people run out of time, or don't think they're going to win, but still.
If I liken it to my volleyball team, it'd be the height of rudeness to leave the court if we were trailing by 15 points. You (wo)man up, take the loss and learn from it.
Could there be some sort of feature that discourages this practise? Maybe you already have something and I haven't seen it yet, you're pretty onto it admin.

sea_shell: If he did something to stop it noobs would never have the guts in the first place.

sea_shell: Some people have a legit reason for forfeiting. Just saying.

Pinkie: Which is why I said "on a continual basis" and discourages the PRACTISE, which means reptition. If we invite someone over for dinner and something comes up after I've cooked all day, all good, no harm done. If it happens 90% of the time, I call arrogance.

Even having a system that you can't take on any more debates if you forfeit 3 in a row, at the very LEAST it would make people think twice before starting half a dozen debates. Which other people have complained about.

sea_shell: That totally makes sense. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Blackflag: Maybe. Also maybe those who actually take their debates seriously (and I'm not pointing at myself here) won't bother taking on debates when they're pretty much certain thEircom opposition won't follow through.

The stats section has been removed when you switched around the front page, Lars, that would be cool if you brought it back. I loved that.

Pinkie: All good! Just don't do it 5 times in a row, or else.

Kidding.

sea_shell: i wud ban u if i was admin

sea_shell: Lol, <3

Blackflag: With spelling like that, if you were admin, I wouldn't be here for you to ban me.

sea_shell: That was probably the best comeback ever. Just saying. ...
