Luna Lovegood Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Tired of s screwed up debates section. I would like a dedicated mod to delete and warn all members posting who are clearly not interested in having a proper debate ie those who post a single sentence such as "I think drugs should be illigal cuz they're evil". Yeah. A single mod whose job was debates would be awesome. Thanks YCMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catterjune Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Lol, debates. On a forum dedicated to Yu-Gi-Oh. Why we even have it at all is beyond me. =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Lovegood Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Draco pushed for it apparently. I was just browsing it. I reported like 1/3 posts I read, and was tempted to report most of the other ones. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabHelmet Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 The problem is that most debates here are already on stupid topics. "Will the world end in 2012?" "Is the Illuminati using secret conspiracy mind controls to take over the world?" "Are the gays evil?" There's really not a lot of room for rational debate in several of these topics because it's like having a debate on whether two and two make four; if anything, they should probably be removed from the Debates forum entirely.

Probably the first but I'm an optimist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahrheit Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I was going to be the moderator for it, but then, you know. I got blamed for a bunch of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I asked Marblezone for reigns over it a week back. So once my life slows down a little, I'll be there more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumberCruncher Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 You expected a serious debate from this site? Have you had your head under a rock this whole time? What made you think you'd get any debate of value here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Lovegood Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 So Icy, what youre saying is nobody's currently controlling it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Marblezone is. But I asked for permission to do so directly myself, via PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Lovegood Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Oh okay, so MarbleZone will be in charge till you get more time at which point you'll take charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I technically already have charge, but I also have my own variable based timeframe I want to handle. But Marblezone leads General, ergo if he disagree's with anything I do I have to listen to him. Simple chain of command stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Lovegood Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Let me get this straight. You are in charge, but you're not actually committed because of other stuff (for now). MarbleZone is there to review your decisions (which naturally can only happen once you post). So the fact that MarbleZone is reviewing your decisions has no effect on the fact that the place is a spam ridden pit of death? Or will MarbleZone remain the chief moderator while your otherwise occupied? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Decided to handle the bad debates as they're bumped for now; until I have more time. And Marblezone will always be chief mod (at least as far as I'm concerned since my native section is Custom Cards), just... yea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
