DEBATE RULES:
1. No personal insults.
2. No vulgar language.
3. No insults of one's religion.
4. No off topic diversions allowed.
5. No usage of unciteable materials.
6. No usage of biased sites to prove a point.
7. There must be a common ground agreed upon as to what
Bible version will be used from which to quote scripture.
8. Opening statements must be the basis for the debate.
9. Once one of the participants is proven wrong in any capacity relating to the topic of discussion, the debate ends with that post.
10. Moderators of this site involved in a debate cannot moderate their own debate so an impartial moderator will be appointed. I believe that Knuckles makes the best candidate for this task.
11. Acceptable proofs are anything that can be cited, checked and immediately referenced online to all viewing.
12. Same "no ban" policy here applies that no one will be banned for their beliefs...only for their treatment of other members here, however, violating any of these rules will be ground for one being banned as well. That is a strict rule that must be adhered to in order to assure a respectful exchange.
13. Reference Sites Allowed:
www.BibleGateway.com
www.Dictionary.com
www.Wikipedia.com
www.YouTube.com
14. Suggestions are always welcomed that can improve the atmosphere of the Debate Forum.
15. Debate is only open to the two participants who are engaged in the opening statements. Any contributions by other members will be deleted.
16. Hypocrisy and/or double standards will not be tolerated. A participant who contradicts him/herself will lose the debate.
17. All questions must be answered directly before moving on to other comment.
18. When exiting the debate, the person leaving (whether for the day, temporarily or permanently) must post that they are exiting the debate out of courtesy so that the other party will not be left waiting for an answer.
