It has a section where you can make polls, a section that is a forum, a section where you can ask yes/no opinions, and a section where you can set up debates.

For the debate, it is one on one. The instigator sets the rules up in the first round. You can set the debate to be between 1-5 rounds. You make a debate topic, then you need to debate it (using decent sources, good arguments, etc.) against one other opponent. The instigator can also, to an extent, decide on how voting on the debate happens and how long people have to vote on the debate.
When choosing who can vote on the debate, be careful. My site has a point system called ELO that increases when winning debates. The lower the ELO, the more potential for crap voting (since you can set it so they have to give a reason for their vote). I have just learned that even if your ELO is over 2000 that you can still give crap votes.
