editorial policy

Admins choose categories, topics, debates, and contender pools. The goal is simple: arguments people already care about, with enough contenders to make voting interesting.

CrowdRank does not accept public debate submissions in the MVP, so moderation mostly happens before a page is published.

Topics or items can be rejected, edited, unpublished, or removed when they would turn the site into a worse place to argue.

If a title, contender name, category, or description is wrong, CrowdRank can correct it after publication. Corrections should preserve the same canonical URL when the page intent has not changed.

If a debate is misleading or not worth keeping, it can be unpublished instead of patched into something else.
