Bullying and harrasment↴
bullying and harassment is never
tolerated. this means that it's a
kick and removal from the team
if you bully or harrass someone.
this should ALWAYS be reported
to both a and a president
of the team.
hate speech also falls under these
rules.
❀⊱┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄⊰❀
Our rules↴
•no nudity, gore, ect
•don't spam the chats
•be respectful during debates
•don't plagiarise anything
•and don't hold grudges, it really
doesn't help anyone. what happens
during a debate stays in the debate.
(though this is more of a suggestion
than a rule)
*Failure to comply with these rules
may lead to a warning at the very
least. Please keep in mind that
punishment varies depending on
severity.

How to write a debate post↴
Firstly, checking our Debate Team
to reference could be helpful!
Our hard rules for debate posts are
•always add a cover image
•always link the masterlist
•always make a hashtag
•always include a list of how you
can participate
•be bias free and make it clear
what the subject is about.
•avoid fonts or an excess of
decorations — the content does
need to be accessible for everyone
and shouldn't be confusing to look
at.
everything else is up to you — you
can decorate and format it to your
liking!
Things you could also add are
•engaging questions! e.g. "is religion
always harmful?" or "can anti-theists
only critique abrahamic religions?"
•aesthetically pleasing organisation,
like separating paragraphs with
borders or emojis to give the
debate a cleaner look.
