Retirement Announcement

Greetings, everyone! 

It has been a great pleasure and honor to serve as the head moderator of DebateArt.com. I have been a moderator for almost 3 years. I decided that it was time for me to step down as head moderator. Over the past few months I’ve been taking a back seat as I am working on my bachelors degree. I will still be in on the mod team as an advisor and will still be on the site. 

Ragnar has also opted to step down. I appreciate the work he has done for the community. 

The new mod team will be 

Head mod: MisterChris

Deputy mod: SupaDudz

Vote mod: Whiteflame 

Over the past 3 years I have made many great friends and feel that I’ve grown as a person and as a debater. 

Thank you, DART for making this a great place. 

Peace and Service.

David 

It has been a honor working alongside Ragnar and Virt/David over these 3 years. I am honored I was given the opportunity to become a Deputy Moderator alongside my fellow peers, whiteflame and MisterChris, both of which have moderation experience.

Kind of interesting I guess...

Thank y’all for your service

Here’s to a new (hopefully more conservative) era.

Congrats!

I know that both MisterChris and SupaDudz will do well in their positions. It's been a long time since I've been a vote mod, but I will endeavor to rise to the challenge.

Thank you to both David/Virtuoso and Ragnar. You guys have done a lot for the site, and knowing how busy each of you are elsewhere, it's quite the feat that you were able to persist for this long as moderators. We will continue to appreciate your advice and assistance in the future.

Hey all! I'm looking forward to serving as head moderator while continuing my debate journey. I'll make a slightly more formal statement once this transition is finalized, but for now just know that I genuinely care about DART and am going to do my utmost to keep this site safe, healthy, and enjoyable for all members.

Thanks to Ragnar and David for their dedication to the site, I wish them the best in their future endeavors.

Many thanks to Ragnar and to David for their service.  I hope this will translate into greater participation on the site.

what would be the qualities and characteristics of a more conservatives website?

Not much to congratulate in my opinion, this move is definitely a positive thing for the website though, without a single doubt.

Not banning Wylted for dumb reasons 😂

Sad to see you go. I’m not too active on this site, but you’ve done a splendid job. Good luck with your bachelor’s degree!

When I became this website’s (I think first?) vote mod briefly in 2018, I looked to Whiteflame’s incredible job moderating votes on DDO for a model to follow, and am so glad to see him back at the role on here. 

I enjoyed Ragnar's posts in the philosophy/religion section a while back. I don't know much about how moderators generally work; Im not familiar with their bans/reprimands. The site is pretty nice and calm (i.e. spamless etc) so I guess I should say thank you for your services. Also, congrats to the new mods.

Good! I was hoping it would be more like Gab

Don’t listen to RMM.

You guys made the site better. Hope to see you both more active if/when your schedules clear up!

why was wylted banned?

You are a person who unironically thinks Nixon was the best US president and that Fascism is morally good... So, forgive me for taking your stance as a compliment since you believe quite literally the opposite of truth regarding who is good vs bad at what they do.

Many thanks to David, Ragnar, and MisterChris for your service; congratulations to MisterChris for your elevation to head mod, and to SupaDudz & whiteflame for your elevation to mods.

Your advice has always been and will always be valued. Thanks

Moderation is not supposed to be about pushing your ideology.  This should have happened the moment you realized you weren't man enough to separate your emotions from you duties.

good luck to new mods

Now, don't over do it Ratty.

Congratulating doubtless positivity......That just wouldn't do.

RMM,

Considering a broken clock is right twice a day, that means there is a 1/43,200 chance you’re correct about them 

Lame insult tbh?

If I'm a ratty and you keep chasing me around in every thread I'm in, I guess that makes you a pussy.

*blocks people for disagreeing then calls them pussies*

🤔

It's called a pun.

I never asked to be called 'ratty', I have explicitly made clear I don't consent to it, so here instead of crying about it I decided to make clear that if I'm a ratty and he's 'hunting me down' to toy with me, he's the pussy cat.
