Platform development

I understand why there is a maximum pixel size for our PFPs, why the hell is there a minimum?

High quality. There wasn't originally

YOUR FACE IS HIGH QUALITY

I needed that compliment after this week

Oh, did someone tell you you had a low quality face?

I get that a lot.

In the votes tab on debates, please re-enable the ability to select ✗'s and ✔'s

Copy/pasting votes without data loss is useful.

Hmm, alrighty, I will look into it :)

The ratings to accept debates may be broken. I've gotten reports of people with higher than the selected rating being unable to accept open challenges.

I am afraid I couldn't reproduce it locally, could you please get me in touch with someone who had this problem so that I could get more details?

Intelligence had a score of 1594, but was unable to accept a debate with a rating requirement of 1511.

Understood, thanks a lot. One condition that comes to mind when it could happen is if the instigator was blocking him, the blocked people cannot accept challenges. But apart from that, I am not sure. 

Did you have any error message or anything like that?

Suggestion: What if when a user clicked on the members tab in the statistics window, it gave a comprehensive list of all the members. If that existed, it would also be really great if it could be filtered, maybe by last login date, or number of debates won, etc. Food for thought

I am afraid I don't follow, could you please give more details on what you mean by "members tab" and "statistics window"?

When on the "debates" page, on the right hand side, there's a statistics box. Within that box are 6 smaller boxes, one of which has the number of members on the site. If that was a button that led to the mentioned member list, that would be very helpful. I was just thinking of a way to browse potential debate candidates with filters. I just find a lot of people that seem interesting only to see they have not logged in in months or a year.

Thanks a lot for explaining! That's a very good idea, could you please share what filters you'd like to have? 

I would say I would like:

1. Filter by ELO

2. Member Search

3.  Filter by "Last Active"

Sum1hugme may have different opinions.

Bearman's suggestions are all perfect ideas i had in mind. There could also be a way to search people's specific views (religious, political, etc.) Those are really all of the filters i can think of off the top of my head.

I think the first two could be done via the leaderboard, you can order by ELO rating there and you can use a simple search to find the members. But the idea is good, I will look into it, for sure.

Yeah, we should definitely enable something like that

I don't get what you are asking, can you elaborate please?

Is it me or is the "debating phase" flairs in a different color?

Oh yeah, I switched it from red to purple 

How about a reCAPTCHA system for every login? It will help fight against adbots.

Also, do you know where the bots are coming from?

Yeah, I definitely need to tighten the anti-bot measures

Can you make so that arguments can autosave or at least add a save feature? I have to open the tab to write a long argument and when I close it, blank as a piece of paper out of the factory.

Click Preview/Review Argument, then click Edit rather than Confirm. It's now saved.
