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.)

No, you just fail to realize that 90% of the time I am joking. You just aren't the type of person who gets my irony.

I appreciate that you see me that way, because I really do mke yourself seem like an utter fool. Wonderful comment about how I need to humble myself, by the way. I mean really, you aren't that funny. Not at all. I'm not saying this because I'm offended or any shit like that that you want to make of this, but because if you have to present yourself as a dumbass to make a fool out of other people and enjoy yourself, than you're not much better off than the person you seem to think I am, are you?

Never said that I was. I didn't say that you specifically need to humble yourself. I said:

This is obvious, but it's something many people forget (even myself). Humble yourself.

I was referring to all people who correct others for petty mistakes, and I even included myself. If you're enjoying the site then "rock on".


*sigh*

One thing that does frustrate me:
When you try to help someone and they try to make you look like an ass for it.

Ignorance is bliss

I guess so...
