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.)

^Oh I definitely agree. I just figure that the debate forum alone needs a BIT more attention than most forums, and we shouldn't require our people staff to live there. Keep an eye on things, oversee the debate forum mods, etc., but those who moderate the debate forum can keep the forum the way they want it (to an extent).

edit; Anyone who were to take this would basically have no requirements other than to display a mature attitude in that forum over a certain period of time. No requirements for post count, ppd, regular activity, etc. This would exist to help them, not for them to help us. That's why I wouldn't consider this position a "regular mod" position.
