What your server gets
Rated in public. Coached in private.
What everyone sees
A Respect rating on each argument
High, Medium or Low, posted with the argument in the debate's thread. A personal attack rates Low, however well the rest is written.
Up to 500 arguments scored for respect per month. Past that, arguments still post, without a rating.
What only the author sees
Coaching, in private
The author is shown the exact phrase that cost them, and how to make the point without it. Nobody else sees the note.
Arguments stop getting buried
One question, two sides. Every argument sits in one thread under the debate, not scattered through chat.
See where your server stands
The debate card shows how the arguments split and the average of the votes. Each member’s own vote stays private.
Rated, never removed
DebateBase measures and labels. It does not delete an argument or block it for its tone.
Sources on the record
An argument can carry a source link, shown with it in Discord and on Community.
No accounts, no new app
Members argue and vote inside Discord, with the account they already have.
It does not read your chat
It never asks to read your members’ messages. Text reaches DebateBase only when somebody writes it into the argument form.
Add DebateBase to your server
Everything here is public
Debates started in your server, and every argument written through DebateBase, are published on community.debatebase.com for anyone to read, including people who are not in your server. Each argument appears under its author's Discord display name and avatar, with its respect label. Coaching on an argument goes only to the person who wrote it.
Private servers, where debates stay visible to your members only, are coming soon. They are not available yet.
To have something taken down, email privacy@debatebase.com.
You need permission to add apps to the server you pick. Discord checks that, not us. By adding DebateBase, you agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy.
What connecting does
- Adds the DebateBase bot, and the
/debate,/startand/mecommands. /topics, which makes a channel one of your server's topics, is switched on by request. Ask in #feature-requests on our support server.- Gives your server a page of its own on Community, with every debate started in it.
- Lists a debate under Community's shared topics, alongside everyone else's, once it has five scored arguments from at least three people.
- Publishes those debates on community.debatebase.com, where anyone can read them.
What it asks Discord for
Permission to see channels, post messages and embeds, and open a thread under a debate. It never asks to read your members' messages: text reaches DebateBase only when somebody writes it into the argument form.
