The Formal Debate
Please note that all of Christian Forums rules apply.
Please note also that the Formal Debate forum is fully moderated, which means that when a participant of the debate submits a post the post is invisible within the forum until approved by staff. Only the debate participants and the moderators may post in the formal debate threads.
If you are participating in a concurrent debate, your post will wait to be approved until the opponent has submitted their post. If not, it will simply need to be approved for compliance with forum rules and the specific debate rules before moderator approval.
Extensions may be granted if a participant has missed a debate deadline and that will be upon discussion with a moderator and the other participant.
Participants in the debate are discouraged from posting in the Peanut Gallery discussion thread until after the debate has concluded. Once the debate is finished, the discussion can continue in the peanut gallery discussion thread.
If there are any questions, feel free to PM any of the moderators responsible for this forum. This forum has been created to provide the avenue for more in depth discussions of certain topics between a limited number of people.
Please enjoy.
