Description
(joke debate)
sigma male--Sigma male is a slang term used in masculinist subcultures for a popular, successful, but highly independent and self-reliant man. Another term for a sigma male is a lone wolf.
For the 3rd time...
"Should either side forfeit every round or every round after their initial arguments (waiving is not an argument), the debate is considered a Full Forfeiture,"
and where is that called ff in your pasted description?
What rounds besides the third are you claiming pro did not forfeit?
perhaps read what you post and then look at the debate...
Pro forfeited the 1st, 2nd, and 4th rounds; 75% of rounds. Not to mention that the 3rd round is merely repeating the Topic, which lack's sufficient proof of an argument's merit. Showing up is not a sufficient argument; no better than a student raising a hand to confirm presence in a classroom, which is all showing up implies, and not that participation is accomplished. Debate requires at least little more than even just participation. Allegedly, we're not children, here. Full forfeit.
Pro only showed up for one round.
From the voting policy:
Should either side forfeit every round or every round after their initial arguments (waiving is not an argument), the debate is considered a Full Forfeiture, and any majority votes against the absent side are not moderated (a vote may still be cast in their favor of the absentee, but is eligible for moderation to verify that it is justified via the normal voting standards).

>Reason for Mod Action:
This debate clearly falls into one or more category of non-moderated debate, and the vote does not seem to be cast in malice. Therefore, no intervention is merited.

Any unexcused forfeited round merits an automatic conduct loss, but arguments must still be voted on or justified as a tie. Repeated forfeitures waives the need to consider arguments (you still may, but by the choice of one side to miss at least 40% of the debate, the requirement ceases. And yes, this does apply to Choose Winner, which otherwise would not allow conduct to be the sole determinant).
Should either side forfeit every round or every round after their initial arguments (waiving is not an argument), the debate is considered a Full Forfeiture, and any majority votes against the absent side are not moderated (a vote may still be cast in their favor of the absentee, but is eligible for moderation to verify that it is justified via the normal voting standards).
