House rules
Debate hard. Stay decent. Change your mind once in a while.
1.13 and up only
You must be at least 13 years old to join Debait Club. Signup requires a birth date, and accounts found to belong to under-13s will be removed.
2.Attack the case, never the person
Disagree as fiercely as you like with what someone wrote. The moment it becomes about who they are instead of what they said, you have lost the debate and broken the rules.
3.No hateful content or slurs
Slurs, hate speech, and dehumanizing language about any group are never allowed — not even quoted, not even "as a joke". Posts are screened automatically and reviewed by moderators.
4.No harassment
No dogpiling, no following someone across threads to heckle them, no threats, no posting private personal information.
5.No spam
No ads, no referral links, no copy-pasted walls of text across multiple cases, no flooding the same point over and over. One strong case beats ten loud ones.
6.Bring something real
Cases should make a claim and back it with reasoning or evidence. "You are wrong" is not a case. Links are encouraged — highlight text and use the link icon to attach a source.
7.Propose debates properly
Topic submissions need: an easy to understand debait question, context for why it matters, and at least one relevant link, plus a category. The club votes all week. The leaders are considered for next week’s debaits.
8.Keep it clean
No profanity, period. Strong language is blocked automatically, and repeat offenders lose posting privileges. Learning should be for everyone.
9.Own your words
You can edit your bio, but cases and comments stand as written. Think before you post; the club remembers.
Breaking the rules can get your cases removed and your account suspended. Use the Report option in the “…” menu if you see something that crosses the line.
