Description
No need... this is just for fun, because I heard someone have alt accounts
Round 1
Forfeited
DebateArt Rules and Code of Conduct, Part I, Section C, rule number 3:
“The use of multiple accounts, particularly in order to cast votes on one's own debates, is strictly prohibited. Password and credential sharing is a form of multi-accounting. Only one user should have access to any one account, and no user should have access to more than one account.”
(rules)
Using an alternate account will get you banned from the website. Since being banned from DebateArt is not a good thing, creating multiple accounts for whatever reason is not a good idea. Thank you for the debate, TheAtheist out.

I agree
sorry
Why do you have me in the receiver?
How was this about me again?
lol yeah even though I disliked dsjpk5's views and bias, I always found a liking to his voting style which is why I combined it with a few other voting styles I saw.
sorry
look at a couple of votes

hunh. In the cited debate, dsjpk5 decides, "This is poor conduct." who first did the patented pinkfreud08 "That is poor conduct!"? Because that exclamation point makes all the difference.

"In the immortal words of Pink,"That's poor coduct!"
Wrong it comes from dspk5, he even admitted it,
Very true.
Well, it may not be a fair ratio of voter consideration to debater effort but the dynamic is easily explained. Forfeits require little attention but count as a vote just as much as a well-contested debate. Well contested debates require careful reading, consideration, and a well-reasoned decision. That's why major voters like Ramshutu are so essential to health and well-being of this site.
I find it bizzare that when a forfeited debate finishes, half of DebateArt rushes to vote, but when an actual productive debate finishes, people rarely vote on who won.

PRO forfeits entirety. In the immortal words of Pink,"That's poor coduct!"
It's not sinning, breaking the rules of a website
Well there you go.
Yes
IS it against the rules to have 2 accounts
Lol how is that sinning?
Are we allowed to have 2 accounts
So is this admitting that you are an alt account.
I have always wanted to make a troll Account on April fools day. I would use the username RainbowSerpent. But it would be sinning which is why i have not done it. I could have so much fun
What do you mean by an "alternate account"? An alternate account for DebateArt, or for another website?
