Debate

This mod allows you to host Online Debates where your members can argue on relevant topics. This is an innovative way to keep your community alive and interesting. A member can create Debate and state both Affimative and Negative Positions against which other members will argue for or against. Arguments can be weighted in Points to show the level of conviction of the Argument poster. When a Debate has ended, the number of Points for each argument is tallied to determine the winning position.
