I am sure there are many ways we can stretch "anything" that will be on a borderline of what's appropriate or acceptable, and IMHO there is plenty to debate in some many categories and formats of debates without going outside of the edges.

If you’re being vote bombed you can report the individuals votes, and moderators will remove it. They have pretty strict guidelines for what is and isn’t a valid vote, if I recall.

In actuality, no, because technically there are many topics, words, and debate techniques which would run afoul of the standards of this site.

Returning temporarily to one of the debate communities I participated in in the past, I was surprised by how much this website rose my standards. The debates in that, overall, average Internet community looked extremely naive and superficial, compared to the debates I get to see here. The arguments most people make are very substantial, and there is almost always something to respond to and discuss further.

I'm still searching for a debate site where people debate issues instead of spouting their interests unendingly.
