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.) |

Idk. When the topics start to consist of two people going back and forth throwing personal attacks and going completely off-topic - that's something that should be stopped. Maybe a verbal warning, then an actual warning. I know that this goes on in every forum and it's the people staff's job to regulate this, but it seems as if most of the staff members tend to overlook the debate forum, thus letting such arguments go on for pages and pages. That's why I think letting someone interested in debate moderate it (like the people staff moderate the rest of the forums) would be a pretty good idea.
And also, spam should be cut down. Posts that consist of a smiley face or a personal jab or the shit that nquack would post should be... I dont wanna say deleted but... just cut down somehow? |

Debates can go from consisting evidence to personal views. When you become condescending then things tend to fire up, causing personal attacks, flame wars, hurt feelings etc... |
