Request for a "Mature Debate/Discussion Group"

[Tyeforce]

I think it would be a good idea to add a "Mature Debate/Discussion Group" (though I'm sure someone can think of a better name for it than that) to this forum. What do I mean by that? I mean a new Joinable Group created specifically for the purpose of having mature debates/discussions about more controversial topics. Now, since this would be a Joinable Group, the members that are allowed access can be regulated. There could be a set age limit that you must be older than in order to join, or perhaps you could be approved to join in you're proven yourself mature enough, or a combination of the two. And, of course, if someone is causing trouble in the group, they can be warned, and if they continue to cause trouble, they can be banned from the group. It would work out very nicely, and it would give the people here who want to talk about deeper topics a chance to do so. Besides, it's not like we don't already have discussions like that here, because we do. Lately, controversial topics such as religion and sexuality have been popping up more frequently, and there are many members here who have proven that they can handle these topics and discuss them maturely. While I agree that some topics may not be suitable for public forums, a regulated group of older, more mature members shouldn't have a problem with topics such as religion, politics, sexuality, and other such things. The discussions would be hidden from the younger members and the troublemakers, so there would be no problems. So, who's with me? Would you like to see such an addition to these forums?

Only problem is a lot of people lie about their age, and those who are old enough and are too immature will throw a fit because they can't join.

But I like the idea, and am for it.

Is there any such thing as mature on TBT?

I lol'd.

But srsly, if I was Admin i'd just make a sub in Brewsters.

I think this would be a nice idea. But what exactly is the age limit? I wouldn't join, but there are younger people that happen to be quite mature.

 

[Colour Bandit]

I think its a good idea, even if I might be too young to join I still think its a good idea, some people can be mature enough to talk about these things, so it must be annoying when someone immature spams the topic, so yeah, I vote yes.

People can lie about their age, yes, but I think it's safe to assume that those type of people aren't really the mature type, so it would be easy to pick them out. Besides, even if you say you're old enough (regardless if it's true or not), if you can't handle mature discussions, then you're going to be kicked out of the group, anyway.

Not sure, the staff would have to decide that should they choose to make such a group.

I guess that's fair enough.

I would like to see some serious topics without some idiot coming in and trying to prove a point by using caps lock and an excessive amount of exclamation marks.
But yes, like you said the ones could be picked out easily if they do something stupid.

Why Brewster's? Then none of the intelligent posts would count towards you post count. Brewster's is for the exact opposite of what I'm asking for, lol. A Joinable Group would be the best way to go. A Joinable Group is basically a forum with moderated entry, so it's perfect for this.

Team Rocket is like 2 months old and is basicly dead... So that's why. It would jsut go to waste

 

[Josh]

I agree with this, I mean every time we discuss about something, Someone comes and ruins it and makes the topic get locked.

Team Rocket was bound for failure from the start. If they would have made it more known by making an announcement for it, and if they would've called it "TBT Pok

 

[EpicGamer12]

Fair idea, yet you should give a chance for those who want a chance. If they can't handle, or something "immature" they would be kicked out.

Oh hey, thanks for your pointless comment. Perhaps you could contribute and work to remedy that?

I voted no, seems rather unnecessary and elitist.

 

[SamXX]

I'd love to see one but personally I don't think it should be judged on age but more maturity because you can get 13/14 year olds who act more maturely than 18/19 year olds.

 

[Bacon Boy]

I'd be up for one, but I'd rather have the group leader someone who isn't one-sided, maybe neutral, to certain members and topics.

 

[Metal_Sonic007]

Interesting idea if all the bugs were worked out yeah i'm with ya it be nice to have a intelligent conversation without worry of spamers popping up ruining it.

How is it elitist? And it's the only way we'll get to talk about topics banned from the public forums.

 

[NikoKing]

I agree. Another one of the forums I went to had a mature discussion sub-forum and it worked out well. It would be nice to actually have a mature discussion around here for once .
