Jarus: I have just banned PointB and Coogar for 5 hours, for defying the simple rule that they should protest/defend only with civil words. I am aware that one was on the attack and the other on the defensive, I had to wield the big stick on both of them because they both used insulting words in the process.

See you guys by 17:07 hours.

Let's all learn to pass across our disagreements/defence with civility.

lateef4me: Is coogar still gonna be among the judge ?

otokx: We need to be civilized in our discourse on nairaland, good job moderator.

Jarus: PointB,

I hid your posts and banned your new ID because is it is created to circumvent deterrent ban, therefore illegal ab initio.

You can continue to raise the points you raised with your new ID using your original ID when you resume from the 5-hour ban, of course, without uncivil words.

New ID banned, posts made with it hidden.

Thank you.

Jarus:

Are you sure the cons of publishing their names do not outweigh the merits? I think so.

Merit of not publishing
1, A judge will be objective. Dayokanu is my friend, if I score him 0/5 ( ). He wont forgive me in 5 years. LOL. But if my name isnt there, he wont know who scored him 0. . Funny, but it can happen.

2, It reduces rancour. A debater that doesnt perform well can easily say the judge that scores him lowest doesnt like his face, bringing out a past thread where they disagreed(and he will always find one, because we have all disagreed at one thread or the other)

Dudu_Negro: 12 pages of back and forth nonsense to get agreement on procedures. smh!

PointB, sitchyo a**s down and let these people do their work.

Jarus: PointB,

I hid your posts and banned your new ID because is it is created to circumvent deterrent ban, therefore illegal ab initio.

You can continue to raise the points you raised with your new ID using your original ID when you resume from the 5-hour ban, of course, without uncivil words.

PointB: Sadly, the Mod (Jarus) has turn his noble idea into an opportunity to (in his mind) cut PointB to size. Rather than address simple objection on why a questionable character (coogar) was chosen ahead of more mature people, the MOD felt the best way to deal with the situation was to flex his muscle, and exercise his power in one on the most arrogant and tasteless display of power. What a shame! Whatever he gleefully banned me for, was obviously a figment of his imagination, as I have no idea.


I'll leave and him debate. But not without insisting that choosing the foul-mouthed, well know anti-establishment bigoted - Coogar ahead of more mature edo_girl, HNOsegbe, Northsharp et al who got more favorable endorsements from majority indicate foul play. Jarus, has shown he is incapable of rising beyond his prejudice, and like his mentor Sanusi - the same stubbornness and unnecessary entrenchment of position. Whether he has ultimately ruin his noble idea by forcing his favorite down the throat of neutrals is yet to be seen. But impartial observer will still like to know how coogar got the nod ahead of various others on the larger list!

But I will not be participating further in this process, in the interest of peace!

Happy debating all of you!

Desola:

Mighty igor!

Anyway, just don't include Gbawe's name in the moderators abi na judge. I see that he has started indirect lobbying by being all over this thread like white on rice. Sheesh!

dayokanu: Where was I when all these insults were flying around?

Can I still pitch in my own widows mite of insult?

Jarus:

Ayaba, ekaabo.

What position do you want? Chairlady? Queen of the debate?

dayokanu: ^^ Typical PDP. Its always bloodletting or assasination or "Do or die"

Hilarious, so for ya mind, you dey try bait Jmaine

Desola:

i'll be the Lord chancellor.

Anyway,I am for the women and I nominate Sisi-kill, skyblue, isale gan.

Katsumoto:

Agreed but let each judge have a unique ID so as to increase transparency and accountability.

Desola:

Mighty igor!

Anyway, just don't include Gbawe's name in the moderators abi na judge. I see that he has started indirect lobbying by being all over this thread like white on rice. Sheesh!

Gbawe:

How can anyone interpret my utterances here to be "lobbying"? It is clear I disqualified myself from Judging anything, yet those determined to carry hatred for others everywhere will still never stop malicious lies and utterances submitted carelessly and falsely to malign others.


@Jarus. Like PointB did, please rule me out entirely. I am no longer interested in taking part in any aspect of this debate initiative. I don't need this nonsense this forum has been reduced to where some just go around saying what they wan't carelessly and having the 'freedom of the manor' and even encouragement to attack and insult others from thread to thread. I won't join a process I can already see will only provide another avenue for insultive stalking and unprovoked personal attacks. Good luck raising the level of intellectual discourse here.

Jarus: Ladies and gentlemen, let's move on pls.

Now, we are working on judging criteria and we need your input.

It's a 5-criteria judgment, maximum of 4 points per criteria, summing up to 20. So a debater scores a maximum of 20 from each judge, 5 judges, come to 100.

Can we have inputs on the 5 criteria to guide judgment?
