>Reason for Mod Action:
Your votes have been deleted at the specific and repeated request of con (the person you voted for). While I am sorry for doing this, given that there was no malice from any of you, just an honest mistake made by the majority of people looking at this debate; but in re-review pro did indeed say something in R2, which makes this not an actual full forfeiture.
From the CoC: "A full-forfeit debate is defined as a debate that has no argument presented by one side following the opening round, resulting in all subsequent rounds being forfeited. When this is the case, these debates are considered full-forfeit debates and are not moderated unless a voter votes for the forfeiting side."
And as a general reminder for lesser forfeitures: People forfeit by degrees. Any unexcused forfeited rounds merits a conduct loss. However, for less than a 50% forfeiture, arguments must still be voted on or justified as a tie. ... Which is to say, conduct only awards are fine on debates like this, without going into any analysis.

Please can you inform your staff of their duties.
If it's more than half, it technically is a FF if I'm not mistaken.
He forfeited 3 of the 5 rounds.
I reported the votes. This isn't FF. He posted R1 and R2.

As this debate is not fully forfeited either but is still classified as a FF per the extended guidelines, I am confident that this debate constitutes an FF as well.
