I found myself doing it, simply to be lazy and so the results can be added to the profile, or I might do it if I don't care about the match altogether. I mean, it's easy, but it leads to a stale debate. A match can be so more than just, more versatility so he wins. I like it when people explain In detail why it matters so much, and then if people say " FRA" i can understand, but if the reason for winning was in one word or sentence and people say FRA then it gets kinda annoying. Basically I like FRA when someone wrote in good detail why they win, but not lazy responses, as it makes the debate dry and boring. Tho I'm prob still not gunna use it anymore, it's better to imagine how it will play out yourself and typing whatever battle scenario you conjured in your head. Of course I'm not suggesting anything, the thought just came to my head.

Everyone finds for reasons above annoying.

And we've had multiple threads made to remove it that don't go anywhere.

Would you rather have three letters or everyone repeating the exact same arguments?

I'd rather see everyone making new arguments/debating

If the argument is long and good I understand I more so mean if the reasons aren't very well thought out

After a certain point there's no point in elaborating on something if everyone's said what you would have otherwise said. It just gets redundant.

Which isn't always possible if someone's already made the necessary points, Kal.

Of course its annoying. It allows debaters with zero knowledge on either franchise post a vote on a whim and get away with it. The worst kind of debating there is

<People debating and saying every point

That's ludicrously rare and you know it.

@Gargoyle

Point is, having seven users post the exact same arguments is extremely redundant.

You see, at this point I didnt have anything new to bring here. Therefore, I agree with Ever's point, leading to "The Everlasting fra".

I guess it's just a combo of bad/lazy responses and supported by FRA. Like if someone had a wall of text with good points, just say FRA lmao

Usually when I see people complaining about it in a vs thread, they're complaining about people saying FRA about valid points. Even if not every argument has been made, if there are good points made and you personally have nothing to add then why would you just repeat what's already been said? And things don't always have to be nicely written out, if someone gives a few short but valid arguments that give a strong enough reason to win, then there really isn't a need to go beyond it.

I think FRA above should stay, just like Everlasting stated. However, they should at least shown they know what they're agreeing to; as I've seen a many fras by people who quite frankly either only because of their personal feelings towards a character or simply don't know how to read; and they can show they know what they're agreeing to with a really brief rundown, like for example:

"No FRA, because I agree with Ever that it becomes redundant." It's simple and short.
