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.) |

Hi Radhika. Long time no see.
About the debate forum, I don't go in there nearly as much as I used to, but maybe that's because a lot of the topics in there are pretty much the same. Honestly, though, rather than restricting access to the debate forum, why don't those of you who spend a lot of time in there tell us what kinds of posts/topics you would and would not like to see? Perhaps we could write up a stricter set of rules just for that forum. Also, just throwing this out there, but.. Similar to how MOTM "moderates" the VIP lounge but doesn't have backstage access.. Perhaps debate forum moderators? I know, I know, it's a crazy idea, but there are people who could do it. So.. maybe? I don't know, I'm just throwing ideas out because we've been talking about how much people hate the debate forum for a long time, and the thing is.. What do we DO? It's clear that we need stricter rules and better enforcement, so why not let those who are more passionate about posting in the forum take care of it, under supervision of the regular moderators? *shrug* |
