MASSDEBAITER is a place to argue ideas, not attack people. Keep it civil: no harassment, hate speech, slurs, threats, or personal abuse. Debate motions must stay civil too — offensive custom topics are blocked.
You can sign up with a username and password (a security question is required — it is the only way to recover a forgotten password) or with your Google account. One account per person; you are responsible for what happens under your account. You must be at least 13 years old to use MASSDEBAITER.
A live debate can be watched by anyone using the Live page — with your camera and microphone — and there is no limit on how many people may watch. Viewers can vote and send emoji reactions, but cannot speak or appear on camera.
During a debate your microphone audio is recorded and, right after the debate ends, transcribed to produce the official transcript that is fact-checked and judged. The audio itself is then deleted — only the text transcript is kept. Finished debates get a public replay link (/d/<id>) that anyone with the link can view, including the transcript, fact-checks, and the verdict, and appear in the public Archive. Do not say anything — or show anything on camera — that you would not want a public audience to see.
Argue your own case in real time. Pasting large blocks of pre-written text is flagged. Creating many accounts to game ratings or evade moderation is not allowed.
To keep the ranked ladder honest, some matches count as casual even if you queued ranked: challenge-link matches, matches between players on the same network, repeat pairings beyond the daily rated limit, and debates with almost no participation. Ranked play requires signing in, and your first placement matches calibrate your rating.
Users can report misconduct, and the judge auto-flags uncivil conduct. Moderators review reports and may dismiss them or suspend (ban) accounts that break these rules. Suspended accounts cannot sign in — including via Google sign-in.
MASSDEBAITER is provided as-is, free of charge. Verdicts are produced by an AI judge and fact-checks are automated best-effort signals from public sources — neither is an authoritative ruling. The service may change or pause at any time.
