Popular Debates
Debates are determined to be popular by The Asylum's Most Heated algorithm, which considers a number of variables, including the freshness of the debate, the number of arguments and votes, and the diversity of participation.
Winning Position: Why not
I won't name names because it's a lot of people, but it must be taken into consideration that many debates, as of late, have been ploys for attention and amounted to little more than blogs. What I ask is if this should be done, is it proper use of the site ot not?
For absolute objectivity I won't answer.
