Smart section Options

[*Steven*]

I think we need a sub forum for things considered smart. I know it might not consist of the smartest responses, but it will be an area of intellectual stimulation. I derived this idea from Josh's and Nate's comments regarding trolling and lack of news-worthy topics. Nate made a news topic yesterday and I believe there has only been a few response (myself and JC, I believe, I could be missing some). Regardless, I believe that a sub forum for that kind of subject would be cool.

For instance, it could be something like interests named say, "Thoughtful Discussion" (with emphasis on thoughtful). It could consist of say:
News
Debate
Technology
School

I agree,

Let's look at some other solutions. From now on if you see another way to do it then please, enlighten me. If you want to keep the idiots out then you need a solution. Having stricter moderating in those forums is one way you could achieve this. I'll give you a few more ideas.

• If the intelligent people who are posting in those forums refrain from being idiots themselves (joking around/giving short answers) then the idiots won't jump in there because they won't have a sense of belonging. Will that ever happen? Maybe, but personally I think that it's difficult for people to continue a constant mature state in any of the forums. Keep in mind, 99% of the users on cB are in their early teens to late twenties. We aren't the maturest bunch of posters out there. Let's be honest, we all like to have a little fun. I can't even do it myself. Everyone would have to have a universal understanding that the "intelligent" forums are not for immature little fuckers. It could but it's unlikely.
• What if we just made another user group. The members would have to meet certain criteria to become apart of that group (we can't make it difficult, maybe just fill out an application). I think that most people would just be too lazy to apply. The people who are really interested would apply and join some in on some of the more "intelligent" conversations. You would get a few morons here and there, but the application would filter out the majority of them.
