There Is No Point Adding A Comment To Debates Anymore, It Just Loses You Points.
Everytime I make a comment about a debate, I get a red cross appear which says disapproved whenever I hover over it. This takes 10 points away from you. Does anyone else agree that this is getting ridiculous? However serious the comment it seems to happen. Has it happened to any of you?

Yeah it should give you like 5 points.

It takes too much time. It should be optional

I totally agree. I had a comment removed and they didn't even tell me why. Some people can't seem to tolerate other people disagreeing with them. It makes me wonder why they are on a debate site.

It's really weird. A lot of my comments have an "X" beside them even though I didn't do anything not nice.

 Um. I think that just means you can delete your own comment if you want. That's just the button you use to do it.

I'm with all of you i think its crud that regardless of your point, you can't even get anything out of it.

Ya, people here don't even have the decency to flame... Which is sad. You'd think they'd be able to type a flame, which are fairly easy since they don't require any thought or attempt to compromise or talk things out or explain your point of view in an understandable way.

EDIT: By 'decency to flame' I mean not being so lazy as to even reply with the simplest and stupidest form of reply. Major flaming is never preferable imo, but minor flaming at the least gives you someone to argue against and lets you know who they are (unless annonymous) and why they're hating you.

I agree. Now when they disapprove a comment, they don't even tell you why. This place is getting completely pointless.

Yeah, i don't understand it at all. I was wondering about it. I really don't care about my points, but i don't understand the criteria for getting the little cross.

Blarg.

Do not worry so much about points: Just enjoy the ride.
Do your debate thingy, and let the points do their thingy.
It's all good.

The points being taken off are the points that you got for commenting in the first place. So you end up breaking even.

First of all, you do not lose points when your comments being removed or disapproved.

The comments being removed maybe caused by several reasons: 1) the debate is removed, so the whole page will be removed including comments.
2) The response commented being removed, so the comments will automatically disappear as well
3) Containing offensive or abusive language
4) Against other site rules.

Can you guys on the left side send me some link so I can investigate? Thanks
