Formal Debate Peanut Gallery Guidelines
Once a debate is accepted by both parties, the proposal thread is closed a discussion thread is created by a moderator in the Peanut Gallery for non-debate participants to comment on the debate. Moderators reserve the right to moderate any discussion thread in the peanut gallery. The peanut gallery threads on controversial topics will be moderated. Please do not start any threads in this forum as the moderators will start all of the threads.
Participants in the debate are discouraged from posting in the Peanut Gallery discussion thread until after the debate has concluded. They can, and often do, check the Peanut Gallery as a bit of a barometer to gauge how the debate is going, and which tack they should take in their next post. This adds an additional dynamic to the debate, and allows participation outside of the debate for interested members. Once the debate is finished, the participants may continue the discussion in the Peanut Gallery thread.
