the debate forum is stupid Options

[rawtheekuh]

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.)

so then why let EVERYONE in the debate forum?

because cb needs to stay active. only hardcore members are going to go through a process to be able to post in debate and thats not that many people.

i think a better solution would be to have the mods moderate the debate forum and ban members, from debate forums only, who are posting irrelevant comments, topics, etc

but isn't that what the mods should already be doing in the first place if i'm mistaken?

i dont know . . . if there are multiple religion threads then they should all be merged and put into a pinned topic or something and add to the rules "NO MORE RELIGION THREADS PLS" and only make new religion threads when the pages reach the maximum get what im sayin.

I get what you're saying. And it's also said on the debate forum.

# PLEASE, search before making new topics--especially popular topics like "God" and "Abortion" etc.
# PLEASE, read through the thread or at least a couple pages before posting. We have to maintain a certain level of maturity in here.

uhm, since when? are the moderators elected by the members now? i thought the admins controlled everything. ever heard of the tyranny of the majority?

Since as long as I can remember. But of course it's the decision of the current staff members to pick who gets on staff, but hiring is a democracy. People's influences are heavily favored in picking the mods. Like when we have topics like CB IS HIRING, people would post suggestions, and their obligated sometimes or pressured to putting theses people who are suggested on staff. Or that's how it seems like.
