Dark Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Why do Mods lock all the good threads in Debates when it is at (or near) the climax of discussion? It's not like spamming, flaming or trolling was going on. Just a question, this isn't one of those "lol u suk mod" rants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Probably because the debate has finished and in their eyes completed, or too much flaming is going on rather than logical debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Altair Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 lol mods suck. Because debates will always have a clear winner after the first ten posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGAKITTY Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 lolclimax? Threads in debates run out original posts after the first 3. Then its just circular argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Maybe because posts eventually become pointless? I don't really know, I haven't visited Debates in a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 or maybe they lock them before pple can start flamming or spamming cuz debates can get very very nasty when pple don't agree... btw: lol mods rule. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Wolf Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Some times icy IM's me when im about to reach the climax of my discussion thread ;) lol jk i think its because 1. Ether the mod cant tell the difference between discussion and flaming. 2. the Debate is actually taking a turn for the worse.3. the debate has hit a stand still and no real conclusion can be draw.

Dark Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 It's usually 1 or 2. or maybe they lock them before pple can start flamming or spamming cuz debates can get very very nasty when pple don't agree... btw: lol mods rule. =P ITT: the point of a debate is to agree.

The bold is true. As that's how I do it.A debate is not intended to be conversation, but rather a structured argument on a neutral level. (Though there are sides). And like it or not, I am better than a vast majority of you at debating, though I choose not to for the sake of it. So instead I just keep track and wait for the point where a debate cannot continue.

Dark Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I guess that makes sense, but why even have a debates section when it has one or two active threads at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoshIcy Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 A debate can branch out.And seriously... How many people on YCM can actually debate? Like... 6. MAYBE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Some people post idiotically and after we destroyed their post, they leave. 6 ACTIVE posters, maybe. I really think debates shouldn't have its own section if only 2 threads are going to be posted in. You don't understand how happy/excited/shocked I am when I see someone posted after me in a debate.

I mean really... Keep one stance and KEEP IT. Don't change it up, just for the sake of continuing it. You look moronic when you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrise Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 The debates should barely be there. It's too, barren. Quiet. Whenever someone makes a debate, I go, "Haven't seen that section in a while." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntar! Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 yeah, these mods suck and what do they think they're doing locking our topics like that, all we want to do is raise our post count while pissing people on the internet off. Seriously, wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 ITT: Prince Hunter misses out on the definition of a rant, and how it is not one. Because I obviously want to spam and troll and raise my post count like Ragnarok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dictator7 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I was thinking the same thing.Some people post idiotically and after we destroyed their post' date=' they leave. 6 ACTIVE posters, maybe. I really think debates shouldn't have its own section if only 2 threads are going to be posted in. You don't understand how happy/excited/shocked I am when I see someone posted after me in a debate.[/quote'] I feel the same way when someone posts after me.
