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.) |

THIS HAS BEEN MY IDEA FOREVER (JUST READ THE OUTLINE, WHAT):Make The Debate Forums Exclusive: An Idea Outlined.
I can not even begin to tell you how many intelligent, capable, and (semi)willing people I have seen come in and (right back) out of the debate threads. Serious participants can easily be discouraged by a board that doesn't handle argumentation maturely and meaningfully. Arguably, debate takes a lot more thought, time, and effort than any other forums in the community center; why not take extra care for the people that devote themselves there? It's not fun working hard, only to have everything you've done spat the f**k on. In fact, that shit sucks - and, it happens all the time in our debate threads. f**king jokers. |
