no offense. half the topics are related to religion, and every topic eventually turns into a stupid bashing session. i think people should earn their right to participate in the debate section.
the debate forum is just turning into a dumping ground. (well, it has been for a while.)

If you want change, be the change.

Although that's a cliche thing to say. Also that nobody really knows you, and your complaints and words aren't as strong as say a person like brooklyneast05 for example. Be more active and to the community. It's the truth. I don't think much people are going to care about what you say. It's just how life is. If you aren't "in", then your out.

being active in the community and being in the "in crowd" aren't the same thing but whatever i think your outlook on who matters and who doesnt is completely f**ked up.

anyway. i dont know if debate is an active enough forum to start forcing people to go through some kind of process of proving themselves to post there . . . the place would be completely dead after doing that

My idea isn't completely f**ked up. In fact it isn't even my idea. It's the damn truth you know damn well it is here around cB. Nobody gives a two cent shit if say someone with reputation or some admin post a Feedback topic on what you guys thought about so and so, compare to some person with 1 post who post the same feedback. Which thread would get the more positive posts? Sorry, but it's the honest truth.
