A Debate Board

[Megamannt125]

TBT needs one.
Where people can debate about things (like religon, politics, etc.) in a mature fashion.
Flamming of course wouldn't be allowed and a user has to have at least 100-200 posts to post in it.
Then we can have serious mature debates about many various debateable topics.

Posts do not equal maturity.

Yes.

It would need to keep the riffraff out, as well.

or you need permission to go into this board.

I know.
But then trolls couldn't jump right in.

I think you should permanently exclude anyone who votes "maybe" in this poll... having an opinion should be a prerequisite.

We've tried it, and we've come to the conclusion that most of them members are not mature enough to handle it.

Of course things could have changed, but you'll have to ask Storm.

Well you could try caleb's idea and only allow certain people.
Maybe make it a group?
"The Debate Group"
then there would be a debate board and not everyone can use it.

 

[Furry Sparks]

The only time you ever tried it was a politics forum.

If there was a general debating forum, it would help clean up the rest of the boards and leave the other stuff to that area.

I think I remember storm's main argument was he didn't feel like taking the time to mod the board.

Well the thing is, if we just picked certain "more mature" members, the amount would be so small, that it wouldn't be as worthwhile.

Actually that does seem like a good idea.

Perhaps we could have a mod for just the debate board.

There are 5 other mods who can do it?

Then just let everyone see it, and either get a new staff member just to watch that board or just have the current staff watch it.

I nominate FS for debate board mod.

Trust me, the staff would never make me the mod of anything.

This idea has been run by the staff so many times.


I don't think they'll do it.

"Not enough members would participate"

Because it costs so much money and takes so much effort to make a sub-board.

>_>

But you were a Sage.

I think this is a fabulous idea.

I love debating.

But, I definately agree with the "some/most members not being mature enough" idea.

Still...I'd like to have one. And hey, I'll mod the board if I must. I don't have a problem with that at all.
