Request for a "Mature Debate/Discussion Group"

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
Well the guy is annoying in general.
 
Everyone would want to be in the group, which would defeat the purpose.. And then the people who don't get in it will all whine like mad.

Happens already. That'd be nothing new.
 
I actually have thought over this and decided it could be a good idea. But the age thing is easily over-ruled by a lie. So personally I think you need atleast 2,000-2,500 posts. Thus you can be proved mature?

Uh, was that sarcasm...<small>I hope.</small>
 
Maybe if you guys can proof you can be mature for a while, and there are no reports against a lot of you, we can make an invite only group.

And that would not be through post count.

Sidenote: You're CloysterMan?

Post counts do not prove maturity.

Also, it's funny how an admin says one thing, then a mod comes along and says something completely different.
 
Yeah. We can hardly have a topic related in any way to religion or politics before it becomes a debate. It would be nice to have one place to contain discussion, so it didn't spill out into all other topics.
 
Not a single person on this forum would be allowed in the mature board, so there's no point to it.

EDIT: Okay, maybe 1-2 people, but still ;P
 
Finally, a place where I can drop my immature and fun act to talk about topics that are meaningful to life... I like the plan! : )

I lol'd.

And it's true. XD
 
What I don't understand is that the staff won't even give it a chance, even though the poll clearly shows that there is a lot of demand for it. What could be lost from just trying it out? Absolutely nothing. And it'd actually be doing something new around here for once.
 
It's not new though, that's what you are missing. It's been tried and tested before.

How so?
Similar things like this have been done before, with boards and general threads.
Similar things. But was there ever a regulated Joinable Group like this?
I'd say they should just start it up already, see if they can actually handle it, and if certain people can, they can stay, if the rest can't, they can't stay.
Yet, everyone should still have a chance, so it'd be messy at the beginning. >_<

Because unlike you, the staff can spot a failure before it happens.

Not only would it cause aggression on the forum because of the people complaining about not being in the group but the people that are in it would think they're better than all the others. Oh and then there's the fact that the people in the group wouldn't be able to keep "mature", especially if you was in it, Mr. Tye.

Not to mention the fact there would have to be people to decide who's "mature" and who's not, mature can mean a lot of different things depending on your views.
