Making the Debate Forum Exclusive, What do you think? Options

[NoSex]

As I have spent a significant amount of time participating within these debate forums, I have come to a conviction that these boards would benifit greatly if this page were to become exclusive. Exclusive in the sense that direct permission would have to be given to allow one to participate, as in post, in these forums. Once permission has been granted that individual would have the right to normal posting within this forum.

I suggest this because I believe the quality of these debate forums is suffering and that such an action would greatly increase said quality. Memebers far too oftenly post arguments to never return to the debate threads. Many members do not respect the rules of debate, or make a mockery of such. Some members do not seem capable to be included in a reasonable and intellectual debate. A majority of the arguments posted are repeated arguments which have been served pages worth of rebuttles, yet continue to be posted. This all disrupts the point, and the enjoyement driven from these threads. Because of these reasons, and more, I wish that we could create a more close-knit, intellectual, and interested party for the debate section of Createblog.

(I wanted to have the debate in here, as it was a debate, and I don't think I have any kind of serious influence on policy making here. I just want to see what everyone else thinks. After some deliberation here, maybe some of us could bring this idea, or another, to the attention of those who do make policy here.)

Discuss?

i didnt mean "REMOVED" from the community, i know, the debate thread. what i was hinting at was, that every member here is a part of a community. rejecting and accepting will give kids the impression, "what the hell? how is he/she any better than me?"


and every debate, when it begins, starts with an expression of opinion, THEN someone either agrees with it or debates it. in my personal opinion, the person who made "white history month" was pretty naive and ignorant to not understand why african americans were givin a month. but, turns out this topic brought up alot of views and debates and even fights. despite the original topic makers naiveity.

debating DOES root from people opinions. i mean what do you think when someone says "i disagree with homosexuality because of___" is? its still basically an opinion

and sure this would bring people together, the people who take the time to join that is. and if those folks become close nit, thats just a clique isnt it? and "cb's getting too cliquey"

and if not many members would be rejected then whats the point?
