Draco Straybyrn Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Sig Reference: I desire a debate forum. Chaos Pudding, Crab Helmet, The Slime Lord, Dj-Osiris, Dark_Vortex, and Static do too. Static, Crab Helmet, and myself are willing to mod it, and we've written rules and entrance exams. If you've been in General lately, you'll notice the stream of Debate topics. Debate is an engaging activity which allows for intelligent conversation, keeps you quick-minded, and teaches you how to beat ANYONE in an argument about ANYTHING. HOWEVER. Most of these topics are full of stupid n00bs who don't read the topic or pay attention, and go straight to posting about something they don't get. This is extremely irritating to those of us trying to engage in meaningful conversation. Taking it to IM or PM would leave out the public and remove opportunity to join, and reading these topics alone provides a better understanding of both sides of an issue. COUNTER: Why can't you put all of these into one topic? That would NOT work. At ALL. There are so many issues, and so many ways to approach them, that it would just be bad for everything. So we're left to use General. COUNTER: Wait, but how would we know what's happening? Well, that's simple. You simply agree to a release, and you're approved to read topics in said forum. You may not post unless you pass a test, because we want to keep these discussions intelligent, uninterrupted, and all debate-y, as opposed to the pieces of crap they become when they're left open here. It's for everyone's benefit. COUNTER: Wait, what's this about a release?! [below link contains inappropriate material. Viewer Discretion is HIGHLY advised. Diplomatic Immunity should be allowed here, because that lets us post anything without worrying about offending anyone. So we'd be slanting the rules just a bit, but it's all well and good because we wouldn't be scarring anyone that didn't ask for it. COUNTER: Won't all this approval put a workload on the mods? Well, we're volunteering to mod the forum, so we're also volunteering to deal with approval. It's not like all 60,000 members are going to be even remotely close to getting approved. COUNTER: All you're doing is flooding. Do we really have an alternative? There is no debate forum as of yet, even though 3 individuals have stepped out and taken initiative in writing rules and exams for said forum, in addition to offering to mod it. The Slime Lord and Dj-Osiris have both endorsed Crab Helmet, Static, and myself for the position of moderator for said forum, just not publicly. I'm sure they'd be willing to do so if asked. Dj has even said that he will DEMAND I be made moderator of said forum. We have taken initiative, and are ready to petition. There are also three simple reasons to having said forum: Less Spam.Less Flaming.Intelligent Discussion Without Interruption (For the intelligent to participate in and those not yet there to read). So here it is.

Draco Straybyrn Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Updates, and more to come. I just thought of something. If you aren't approved, you cant post in the Debate forum, but you can read. Wait, no. You have to agree to a release stating that content might offend you and such to read AND join, and you have to pass a test to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Raver Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 So thats why you asked me that question eariler on MSN ^_^ I standby it, as one of the better debators on these forums, and 1 who is utterly keen for the debate forums, i do believe you should be a Moderator of the Debate Forums, IF it gets up and running, and YCMaker agrees of course. If the debate forum gets the go-head it should solve alot of problems that are arising. Oh and Darkthorne, again stop flooding the reported posts lol its like mega refilled itself lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna Diviner Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I don't really debate but if it makes the forum happy and it stops General from being overcrowded I sign.*Signs form and waits for Ycmaker to reply*No offence to him but like a bunch of people have asked for updates on the cardmaker which we never got so it's not likely we'll get it.
