NOTE THAT THESE SHELLS ARE ALL JOKES AND ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!
Interpretation: Debaters must not spread above 90 decibels.Violation: I have screenshots. 1. Hearing – Listening for a debater speak for 13 minutes above 90 decibels is not only extremely annoying but also permanently damaging to hearing. Decibels.2. Accessibility – having older debaters scream at new novices can be very mentally taxing and intimidating. It serves no strategic purpose in the round other than to scare the opponent debater. It’s a horrible norm for people to always be intimidated/scared in round, as it drives people out of debate. Speaking more softly solves – we can be more inclusive and keep people in the activity, which means it’s an independent voter.
