Draco Straybyrn Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 It's come to my attention that more and more there have been somewhat poorly-constructed arguments going on lately. Therefore, the question shall be arised: Why not have a debate forum? You could get upgraded to a debater usergroup upon agreeing to terms and conditions, and then have logical and well backed-up debates with other users. Really, not so hard to do. Maybe one more mod would be needed, but does it really matter? We need to get new ones anywho. R/F, Debate, Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Static Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Because theirs too many idiots here. That simple. I don't mean people who disagree with my beliefs, rather, people who cannot make an argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco Straybyrn Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Then a test, perhaps? Some of our elected better debaters could write up an argument, and the one being tested would have to negate and disprove that argument. Pretty much Public Forum revised.

Draco Straybyrn Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well, we have plenty more intelligent and debate-worthy members, and I'm willing to work for it. I'm going to PM and Email YCMaker now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frunk Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Lulz. I offered to run it when I suggested it originally. If I was knocked back, good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco Straybyrn Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well, we'll see what YCMaker has to say to my amazingly long email/PM I'm typing up. Thanks for the good wishes, Frunk. And to clear up any and all misconceptions: You would not be able to see the forum until you were approved to the usergroup. You would be able to know of its existence, but not see it. Just like the Mod Forum. However, you could actually get into this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco Straybyrn Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well, I sent YCMaker a very long PM. And email. Let's hope he responds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rscrash Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 [align=center]Yeah, a debate forum would be good, it'll let idiots suppress their true feelings, until they finally get so angry that they get banned and! and! and! the possibilities are endless! I'm so excited! Please, YCMaker, please! :/[/align] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco Straybyrn Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 It would not be public. You would need to do one of two things, whichever is decided upon. A. Agree to a set of rules pertaining to the forum.B. A, and pass a form of test that requires well thought-out rebuttal of a prewritten article/speech.

Draco Straybyrn Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Lulz. I'm on the competitive Speech and Debate team for my school, one would hope I can prove my points and find reason to back them up. If not, I probably shouldn't have all these awards form every tourney I've been to. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frunk Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hmm? Does this matter now there is an alternative? (PM me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Altair Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 it's an idea i would love to have but it's a problem cause-1) we have many fools who know nothing but will still come and well will start a big argument about candies and will start flaming.2) from what i understood is that you want a test so we find who can post and who can't. well it's ok just that some noobs who will be refused will start flaming in the debate and general section. but i support it if there is a way we can fix these issues.

rscrash Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hmm? Does this matter now there is an alternative? (PM me) Yes, but some people won't be able to access that. It's not really fair to just leave an idea behind because you can do it somewhere else instead. It would still better the forums and that's the ultimate goal.

Draco Straybyrn Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Noobs flaming = Ban. Ta-da. And Cyber, you have to prove yourself.

Guest Supreme Gamesmaster Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Great plan. Or maybe we could have a small debate section that would open whenever a controversial issue popped up, and people could voice their opinions there?

Cyber Altair Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 but it is for people to debate on things in real life and not just something related to the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizzi Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I don't think it should be an entire forum, though it would be good for a sub-forum of general. I support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Altair Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 nope as we have too many sub-forums for the General Section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco Straybyrn Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 It would be its own forum in other, but it would be invisible to anyone besides mods and those in the Debate group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
