Community Guidelines

1. Challenge ideas, not people

Challenge arguments as strongly as you like. Do not insult, demean, or attack the person making them.

2. Debate honestly

• Respond to what your opponent actually said.
• Do not deliberately misrepresent arguments, troll, derail the discussion, or participate in bad faith.

3. No threats or harassment

Strong disagreement is welcome. Threats, targeted harassment, intimidation, and encouragement of harm are not.

4. Protect people's privacy

Do not share another person's private, identifying, or personal information without permission.

5. Controversial opinions are welcome

• Politics, religion, culture, and unpopular ideas may all be debated on Debbly.
• Challenge them with arguments — not attempts to silence or intimidate the speaker.

6. Respect the debate format

During a live debate:

• Take turns speaking
• Avoid repeated interruptions
• Stay relevant to the topic
• Engage with your opponent's arguments

Passion is welcome. Chaos is not.
