I'll rightfully claim a default "win" in Face Offs where the opponent has not responded to the my last argument in over a week.

Elephant-Donkey will say 2 days left for response, and then, instead of forcing an abandoned Face Off into default, keeps adding days! One now reads "18 days remaining for the next argument"

This is the stupidiest faceoff ever. You're a waste of time. You have 9 losses and your wins were by default. Do wonder why no won wants to argue with you... you should quit.
Hadrian said 03/19, 11:30 PM
The issue being debated is what is the fair outcome of abandoned debates. If you can stick to the debate and avoid personal attacks, you might have a chance at winning.
You claim that my wins on Elephant-Donkey were by default. Not true -- and you miss the point entirely, sir. The site is not awarding wins by default for abandoned debates -- and it should.
The message "2 days remaining for the next argument..." (directly below the last argument here for example) is a clear indication that this debate has a time limit. If you've observed debates, time limitations should be familiar to you.
The time limit does not work at Elephant-Donkey. Instead of forcing an abandoned Face Off into default win, this site keeps adding days to the time limit. One of mine read "18 days remaining for the next argument". Now it says 19 day remaining. Check it out today, and then check it out in 24 hours. Watch the time limit increase! http://www.elephant-donkey.com/elephantdonkey/show/2861
I'm defining an abandoned debate as "no response from the opponent in one week". This site itself (if it were working correctly) gives only 2 days. I think I'm being more than fair to claim these default wins.

I don't care, this is a stupid arguement.

He obviously is not a great debater if most of his win are by default and can be easily defeated. Consequentialist Libertarian, you lose credibity for saying that not taking serious positions, makes him a fine debater.

"This is the stupidiest faceoff ever"....and you took it. I'm the "waste of time" with whom you decided to waste your time. Don't blame me for your poor choices.

Proud winner of: "No special 'rites' for heterosexuals". VOTES: 13 to 1. "Fat Americans promote Democracy!" VOTES: 9 to 6 John Wayne walked like a girl. VOTES: 8 to 6 "In preparation for the coming space invasion, we need to unite all humanity and end all racist humor!" VOTES: 8 to 5. "Crosswalk signal buttons are some sort of social experiment". VOTES: 7 to 2. "Ancient human footprints discovered in the Mexican desert may be the oldest evidence of illegal immigration in the Americas". VOTES: 4 to 3. No default wins here. If winning by default were WORKING, then I'd have 6 more wins. Come on people, I'm SO EASY to beat! Don't walk off the debate!

This seems more like a problem for Tech Support than the debate forum itself.

Please contact Tech Support and let them know that this site does not seem to have a way to contact Tech Support. Meanwhile, this Face Off got one of my opponents to return to the fray. That was indeed my larger purpose: public shaming. :)

Gluteus, You need to stop ranting about your opinions. No one cares what your opinions are unless you can back them up with facts. TO attack your opponent personally makes you seem ill-mannered and stupid, because you obviously don't have any real argument. Hadrian and I disagree on almost every topic, but I will gladely admit that he is a fine debator! I agree with his idea and Elephant-donkey.com needs to make 2 day limit really mean a 2 day limit!

And as for your argument that CL has lost credibility is utterly idiotic. CL is one of the best debaters on this site. You are picking fights with the wrong people!

I also have a debate adding days in limbo, which I am winning handily, I should be given the win.

Hadrian... i would just like to say that I think that your boys and girls debate is the dumbest debate ever. I almost accepted it but I couldn't figure out what the debate is supposed to be about.

My "boys and girls debate is the dumbest debate ever?" You liked "John Wayne walked like a girl" better? But don't worry. Dumber debates are bound to show up.

Gluteus, Hadrian is a fine debater. His record does not reflect that, because he tends to take positions that are unheard of. He is not being serious with most of them; his debates are satirical in nature. Criticizing him, as you have done, really makes you lose credibility.
