I think there should be a debate forum, where someone posts a topic bringing up an issue, and we all debate on it. I really like debating, so I think there should be one. I'd definitely be more active if one was added.
If you mean the polls, than pm a staff member with the title and poll questions. I'm sure they'd be glad to do it.DSFAN121 said:I would, but I'm "not at the right rank". -_- (which is stupid)
You should be able to post polls from the beginning.Koehler said:The poll post limit was lowered. I'm not sure what it is now though.
Like I said, that's only if the people here are too immature to be respectful to each other. *coughminocough*Jman said:I don't like this idea. It could get heated and turn into flaming... If someone asked "Who is the best presidential candidate?" then it would most likely escalate into a big argument, not a debate. Everyone looks at things from a different perspective, and some people's views might be a lot stronger than someone else. All it takes is one person to cross that line.
I agree.Jman said:Exactly. We've had one all along.dragonflamez said:Everywhere is the debate forum, so why bother?
It's really a combination of what you said and what DSfan said.OddCrazyMe said:The original reason for us not having a debate board was the fact that everyone was trying to discuss politics. The problem with the way certain members debated it made them seem more powerful because of their views and all other views were wrong. So it lead into huge flame wars.
Saying we're too immature to handle it though is a little crude imo.
Not just politics. Religion, etc. I love debating religion and politics, but TBT is just not the place to do that. If we had a theme that was centered around these topics, that would obviously make more sense. However, the members of gaming forums are not the kind of people that can usually debate these types of things in a mature way (if you know what I mean). However, if you'd personally like to debate me on the topics, PM me and I'll chat on AIM/MSN. =pOddCrazyMe said:The original reason for us not having a debate board was the fact that everyone was trying to discuss politics.

I never said for sure anyone was, just there may be people here who can't do it. If so, there's no reason to have one. And like Storm said, there isn't much of a reason to do it on TBT anyway. So yeah, no debate forum.OddCrazyMe said:Saying we're too immature to handle it though is a little crude imo.
Great stereotype ^_^bstormcommander said:However, the members of gaming forums are not the kind of people that can usually debate these types of things in a mature way
