I have been informed that an edit tag appears in a debate post in
this thread. So far
the
only claim being made about it is that it was copied and pasted into a post that was never actually edited, from the textfield of an edited
draft that was posted elsewhere on ats to check bbcode. If this is true, then the debate post was never edited and will not be deleted. If anyone has
reason to believe the post actually was edited after being posted in the debate thread, please bring it to my attention by u2u ASAP and I will
investigate.
I have had questions about what to do if ones opponent does not post for an exceedingly long time, or longer than may have been agreed upon. My advice
is that in order to keep the tournament moving, debaters should consider posting and causing their opponent to forfeit a post. If you do not wish to
obtain an advantage, you may post that you are forfeiting your post along with them and that the floor is again theirs. At that point they have
another 24 hours (or as long after 24 hours as you refrain from posting- you would be able to end the debate in your favor whenever necessary with
another post at that point.)
