Report a possible scorecard issue
Enable JavaScript to use the Corrections form. Include the exact page, the issue, and supporting evidence. Submitting a report does not guarantee an individual reply or an immediate correction. All feedback will be considered, but only complaints judged valid will be incorporated into prompts for future reevaluations of the full debate collection. Valid complaints will become general review instructions and safeguards for every assessment and score. The reviewers are independent AI agents called by the administrative AI. Read the Q&A. You can recommend a debate using the form below without JavaScript.

Recommend a debate
Know an online debate worth a close look? Send the full recording and tell us what makes it worth assessing. We screen recommendations using these criteria:
- Two clear opposing positions. Normally, one identifiable advocate on each side, with a moderator who facilitates the exchange. Panels, roundtables, and genuinely three-sided discussions do not fit the standard workflow.
- A complete exchange. Link the full recording, or a complete, clearly bounded debate within a longer recording—not highlights, reaction clips, or excerpts that omit relevant arguments or replies.
- Usable source material. A publicly accessible recording with clear enough audio and speaker identification to recover a reliable, complete transcript. YouTube is preferred by the current workflow. Captions help, but are not essential if the audio can be transcribed.
- A clear topic fit. The central question should belong to one of our listed topic categories.
- Substantive disagreement. Both sides should present reasons and respond to challenges. A solo lecture, promotional video, or interview without a real opposing case is not a suitable substitute.
- Not already assessed. Please check the catalogue first. To challenge an existing assessment, use the Corrections form above.
What about team debates? Recordings organized around two opposing teams require separate approval and review. If accepted, their shared side scores are kept out of individual one-on-one averages.

The debate URL and your email are required. Suggestions go directly to the site administrator for consideration.
Meeting these criteria makes a debate a candidate, not a guaranteed addition. Selection remains curated and somewhat arbitrary, and depends on source quality, topic fit, reader interest, and available assessment capacity.
Your recommendation and email are delivered privately to the site administrator through FormSubmit. Your email will be used only if follow-up about this recommendation is needed.
