Dreasimy's Guide to Running a Tolerable DP Debate
These are some thoughts, it is a work in progress.
Step 1 - Become a mod for the mics
Step 2 - Offer to be a debate moderator so you can be added to the victim list
Step 3 - Come up with a boiler plate document with questions suitable for every debate, questions suitable for this specific debate, responses for people who submit comments instead of questions, responses for people who submit personal attacks instead of questions, opening statements, closing statements, statements to the candidates, anything else you don't want to type more than once.
Step 4 - Open chats with all the candidates and get them to tell you when they CAN and CANNOT do a debate with timezones ASAP!
Step 5 - Pick a time and run with it even if not everyone can be there because rarely can everyone be there, you might as well just get it over with. If a candidate can't make it. Do separate 'debate' with them if you can. If not encourage them or help them to make a wiki page version of their answers.
Step 6 - Not everyone can make every debate, part of making up for it is giving people lots of chances to give you questions ahead of time and reassuring them they will get an easily accessible log soon after the debate (not like, after the election is over.)
Step 7 - Some questions are completely 'fair' to give candidates ahead of time to let them have some well thought out answers. This also gives the debate some speed where you will need it. We really don't need to reinvent the wheel Each and Every time on 'what is the role of DP' live on the air. But some other questions we do so let's have them sweat it out on those questions and float them the good old fashioned ones so everyone can be on the same level playing field with some 'prepared' answers.
Step 8 - Use that chat you have with the candidates to hear from them when they are 'done' answering a question during a debate. If you want to, you can use it to let them know what question is on deck so they can be ready to attack it and thus have less dead air.
