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.)

And forums like Pictures or Relationships shouldn't get more attention? I see alot of bashing and spam in relationships and nobody ever seems to mod them. And it could be way more personal than in debate. like "haha you're an idiot kid, stfu you don't know anything about sex ahhaha" .

People aren't complaining about those forums, though. There really isn't a need for change unless there's negative feedback from the people, right? People obviously have a problem with Debate in its current condition, so the mods can either ignore the complaints or do something about it. It seems as if they're choosing to ignore the complaints.

But, yknow Tung, if you have a problem with all the personal bashing in the pictures/relationships/etc forums and feel that the mods aren't doing their job in preventing it, you should really bring it up.

Mods don't give a shit about the minority (us). We are only 1 person out of 1000+. So that's why I don't see why we need to change the debate forum, if it's just a minority of people out of 1000+ people.

I'm just saying this from what I've learned from Jusun and his forum reorganization thread.

Aww, come on Tung, you don't really think that, do you? Rebecca and I (and oh god her more than me) LIVE in the feedback forum, and many of the other mods do as well. We DO want to take everything into consideration and that's why I've spent so much time in here trying to come up with something that would make - not everyone - THESE people happy. Changes to the debate forum affect only those who post regularly in the debate forum, so I'm addressing those people - the minority, not CB as a whole.

Many of the issues that get addressed around here are centered around the general CB "population" and what would make a majority of the members happy. But we all know that it doesn't always work that way, and honestly, you make it seem like we turn into completely different people when we're put on staff. We aren't. We have friends, we have personal problems, we go to school and work. I AM A PERSON AND MY NAME IS ANAKIN. That kind of thing.

But really, that doesn't mean we completely ignore everything that comes through here - quite the contrary, really, we put a lot of time and effort into responding to these things. And against what we might lead you to believe, what we're doing is giving our opinions. No agenda, we aren't ignoring people we don't care about or anything. When we post in here, we're posting as members who DO have a say in this just as much as you guys do. And as I proved with my suggestion to add more moderators to the debate forum, if you guys don't like our ideas, we won't implement them, just like if people don't like ideas you guys bring up.

Just saying.. We're not that much different in that regard.
