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.)

*shrug* Like I said, just throwing an idea out there. I figured it wouldn't be accepted very well, so that's fine. I really would like to hear what those who frequent debate think about this.

Other forums are light, and several are a bit more serious. I definitely don't think that some of the bashing that goes on in any of these forums SHOULD be happening. I don't think that debate requires more moderation necessarily than relationships, and it doesn't require that MOST moderation - what I'm saying is that it requires more than a lot of the other forums. Anyway, like I said, we need a more strict set of forum-specific rules (possibly for other forums, too, but right now we're just discussing debate) that need to be more strictly enforced.

I'm sure our people staff can handle it - honestly, I am. I only suggested this as a way of giving them at least some weight on the situation.
