Round 1
Forfeited
Memes are entertainment, sweat actually does physical things that matter.
Round 2
Forfeited

Memes can't beat in any of these ways, they aren't physical.

Only 4b would be a definition that Pro would win with and that is ridiculously unreasonable to assume is what he/she meant by 'beat'. Perhaps 4a was what was meant and that's the point, Memes don't defeat sweat, they are in totally different leagues. Beat sweat at what? Exactly...
Round 3
Forfeited
Fixed
We are working on it
I’ll text Mike. He’ll have to be the one to fix it
That is much much worse, that is totally unacceptable to change post-acceptance.
I want elo gain or loss on this debate, I agreed to it under the premise it was moderated and there was elo gain/loss. This has been altered since in all three instances.
Regardless this is gonna be a FF debate and the only
Votes that will be removed are the ones who vote for the FFing side
that is much much worse. I agreed to a moderated debate in all three instances.
I’m tagging Mike as he will have to be the one to fix it. Unmoderated debates does not mean the votes can’t be moderated. From what Mike told me, the votes can be reported and removed. The main difference is that unmoderated de ages are not rated. In other words, your ELO score won’t go down if you lose this debate. I told Mike that the wording was awkward and confusing
if you don't fix this I will make a huge forum protest about it, I promise it will get a crowd roaring.
I agreed to this debate under the notion all votes would be moderated. This doesn't meet the criteria of troll debate that we voted on, which was the strictest definition of the three (option A) I will really take this to the forums if you don't revert all three debates I accepted with the 'moderated' option selected. The rap taste battle is the only one that you can justify.
This debate was moderated and just got changed to unmoderated within the last hour.
