Request for a "Mature Debate/Discussion Group"

[Ciaran]

People who get left out will get angry...

Someone among them will become their leader and they will revolt.

TBT will burn.




I clicked yes.

 

[Numner]

I've been wanting it for a while.

Even if I don't seem the most mature person in the world some times it's nice to read and not have it utterly ruined by... people.

 

[Rawburt]

Voted no, don't see this working out too well.

 

[Fabioisonfire]

My opinion used to differ, but I think it's impossible to discuss religion and/or politics without it turning into a total flame war.

 

[Miranda]

I would love to see this happen on the forum, trust me I would. If I knew that people would take it seriously I'd be all over it right now, but I don't think people can. The proof comes from what goes on now on the forum, there are too many people who ruin it now, and they would ruin that section as well. Maybe if the forum starts showing an interest now on the board and proving to the staff they can handle this sort of thing, I would make it in a heartbeat. But that goes for everyone, prove you can handle it. Because right now, no one can.

But that's the who reason why I suggested this. I know some people ruin it for others. That's why only people who have proven that they can handle such discussions in a mature manner would have access to the group, eliminating any such problem.

Yeah but no one even comes to mind to me that could handle that.

Surely you're joking, right? Me, Andy, Mega, Mino, Sporge... There are lots of us here.

This is exactly why she didn't think of anyone. Because they'd be like "Are you kidding me? I'm really mature I deserve to be in this group."

What? I don't understand what you're trying to say. There are members here who have proven that they can handle such topics in a mature manner. There's no denying that.

And then there's the members that think they deserve it when they really don't.

I'm not saying it towards you just members in general.

That may well be the case, that said members have proven their worth in a mature setting. But evenso, I still say no to such boards, threads etc.

So an entire section for what 5 people? Yep, sounds totally awesome and doable... It's not gonna happen. See you're already arguing now with me because I said no, that's not proving you can handle a section like that.

I just listed the first five people I could think of. I wasn't saying that there are only five of us. >_> We could at least try it and see how it goes, instead of being completely negative about it before we even give it a chance.

And, yes, I'm arguing with you. Not in a bad way, though. The word "argue" has such a negative connotation to it for no reason at all. There can be good arguments. What is a debate, anyway? It's an argument. Discussing a certain topic with different viewpoints. There's nothing wrong about that, as long as there's no flaming involved.

No means no Tye. The best you can do is try to prove her wrong.

 

[Mino]

Is there any such thing as mature on TBT?

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

I voted no, seems rather unnecessary and elitist.

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

How is it elitist? Well, I suppose this group wouldn't be, you know, the rulers of TBT, but I just think it's not the type of thing we need. We've had Sages in the past, and I see no reason to revive that system.

Also, I beg to differ. This is not the only way we'll be able to have mature discussions, on "banned" topics or any others.

All we simply have to do is report the flame/spammy post. It's not too hard.

That goes with what Miranda said then, nobody can really handle it.

 

[Smugleaf]

Erm, if this WAS made, (which I don't think will happen, judging by the responses), I wouldn't be allowed to join. Amirite?
As hard as it is to believe, I have a mature side. I just don't show it around other people much.

 

[Jasonnman]

i like the idea but seriously, half of TBT are way too imature

i remember one time when someone made an account called Carl Fredricksen, and his post's were so annoying
