The Rules of the Debate Channel are as follows:

1. Any two people or groups may use this channel to upload videos with their opposing viewpoints.

2. Users or groups may point to this channel to generate interest in the debate but may not discuss the issues being debated on their own channels so as to make the debate fair.

3. The debates are decided won or lost by a comment only yea or nay vote. Hits or Misses do not count and all voters must have a video on the site in which they appear, in person,   more...otherwise the vote does not count.

4. Votes shall be tallied by a mutually agreed upon objective third party.

5. After the debate, all participants agree to cease discussions about the topic on their channels forever. The subject will be considered closed, period.

6. If one or the other participant(s) fail to cease belaboring the issue their ability to use this channel in the future will be revoked for an indefinite period of time and a video will be placed on this channel periodically which shows which individuals have failed to abide by the rules. It is up to the community at large to decide what that may mean.

7. You may not, under any circumstances, use this channel to "drop docs", which is to say, you may not post or reveal in video form any personal information about anyone, including your opponent of a sensitive nature. (i.e. real name, phone numbers, addresses, etc).

8. There is no rule regarding the use of what can be called abrasive language, this channel is not here to censor a person's method of debating, only to provide an impartial place for the debates to take place and to try to make LiveVideo more interesting.

9 The password for this channel will be given to the individuals involved in the debate, after they have uploaded their videos, the password will be changed. If anyone is found to have changed the password in an attempt to lock others out of the channel then this channel will be considered compromised and we will move to another channel with a different name. The information about the new channel will be made known via the community grapevine. So there is no good reason to try to "take over" this channel because it belongs to no one person and it can be moved at a moment's notice. All you will succeed in doing is looking dumb.

10. When you place your video on this channel you agree that it becomes the property of the channel and relinquish all rights to said video. However this does not mean that anyone may use that video, it must remain on this channel only and may not be reused without the permission of its original author. In short, you are giving free license to this channel to use your video but not to everyone.  less
