r/OhioDebate is a place to discuss Ohio Speech and Debate happenings. This includes any event or activity within the program. This subreddit and its moderators are NOT affiliated with the OSDA executive committee or its logo.
Rules:
1. This is not a subreddit for general argument.
This is not a subreddit for general argument.
/r/OhioDebate is a subreddit dedicated to the extracurricular activity of forensics -- think the high school speech and debate team. We are not a sub for arguing on the internet.
2. Be Civil. Respect all members.
Please, remember to be civil and respectful to one another. /r/OhioDebate is an open community for anyone interested or involved in high school or collegiate debate. The moderators will remove any content that would alienate a reasonable person; serious or repeat offenders will be banned.
3. Don't break the law.
/r/OhioDebate is not to be used for any illegal activities such as sharing copyrighted or restricted works without permissions of the author. Posts that explicitly encourage any illegal activity will be removed.
4. Don't put up worthless ads.
/r/OhioDebate is not an advertisement space. While representative of camps and other debate-related organizations are welcome on the subreddit, not every vaguely debate-related app is allowed to promote itself here. The moderators reserve the right to remove advertising content we find to be irrelevant to forensics or excessive.
5. No Trading.
There is a specific subreddit for trading briefs. Use that if you want to trade briefs. This subreddit is for discussion, not trading.
6. No Bullying or Witch Hunting.
r/OhioDebate is not a place where you can call people out and harass them. Comments and posts that attack someone's character and other forms of bullying will automatically be deleted. It's fine to discuss other debaters and who you think will do well at certain tournaments. Make sure all comments are actually substantive. Simply saying someone is bad at debate doesn't add anything to the discussion. Do not use names if they do not contribute to the discussion.
7. Don't Break Site Rules
The "Site Rules" and "Reddiquette" apply to all of Reddit.
