House rules

Squabbler is built for heat, not harm. Accept these once and you can debate anywhere on the platform.

Argue the motion, not the person

Attack reasoning, evidence and consequences. Never the debater, their identity, or their background.

No unnatural profanity

Emphasis is fine. Abuse is not. Gratuitous profanity gets a squabble struck from the record.

Zero tolerance for hate

Racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist or religiously targeted attacks end the squabble and the account.

Hold your turn, then yield it

Say your piece inside the clock. Deliberately running out the timer to deny a reply is bad faith.

Concede honestly

If a point lands, say so. Squabbler rewards good debate, not stubbornness.

Breaking the rules

Any squabbler can report a message or a whole squabble. Community guides review reports; hate speech is an immediate removal, and repeat offences cost you your account and your points.
