How we debate on Debbly.

Last updated: February 17, 2026 · Terms of Service · Privacy Policy

1. Debate ideas, not people

  • Attack arguments, not the person making them.
  • Personal insults and name-calling are not allowed.

2. Be honest in debate

  • Address what your opponent actually said.
  • Don't troll, derail, or deliberately misrepresent arguments.

3. No harassment or threats

  • You may strongly disagree with someone.
  • You may not threaten, harass, or encourage harm toward anyone.

4. Respect privacy

Do not share private or personal information about other people.

5. Controversial topics are allowed

  • Politics, religion, culture, and unpopular opinions are welcome.
  • Debate them — don't try to silence them.

6. Follow basic debate etiquette

When debating on stage:

  • Take turns speaking
  • Don't constantly interrupt
  • Engage with the argument

Passion is welcome. Chaos is not.

7. Violations

Breaking the rules may result in:

  • Warning
  • Content removal
  • Temporary or permanent ban

One guiding principle

Debbly exists for people who enjoy debating ideas in good faith. If you're here to insult people or cause chaos, this isn't the place for you.
