We just implemented a completely new algorithm to make the debate scoring system more accurate and more transparent.  When you add an argument you will now have the opportunity to explicitly identify the side where you’d like your argument’s votes to be allocated.

To make it as user-friendly as possible, CreateDebate will do its best to predict which view you support but the final call is up to you.  If you realize that you need to change where the points are being allocated, you can just edit your argument and switch it up (so as long as nobody else has voted or replied already).

Thanks for continuing to share your thoughts & suggestions!  As always, we’d love to hear what you think of this new improvement.
