I would like to request an Admin-controlled Debate thread, with different weekly topics.

It could be a new forums thingy with many debates running at once.

Or it could be a topic in the General Discussion forum, with a set subject of debate.

I'd happily moderate it if need be. ( I am not begging to be a mod, I am just offering to mod this thread only, though I would like to be a forum mod, that's not what this post is about.)

I'll look into it. I've been thinking of something like this for a while.

Why did this need to be passed to us immediately, you can start up debate threads in GD, it seems to be within the definition of GD...

As long as it doesn't end up like "intelligent discussion?" :lol:

Anyways, if people can keep it civil, then it sounds like a decent idea.

It has to be like, very moderated, or else it would end up as a giant flame war with spam...

For topics, we can do some weekly topics, like politics, religion, war, and even CC [use your imagination]

Put it in GD. I can be a hard-ass mod of it.

I remember there was the Mature Discussion subforum which was removed due to immaturity. Revive?

Oh god no mature discussion failed.

Now, if this ♥♥♥♥ gets moderated to all hell, AND IGNORANT RESPONSES ARE BALEETED it may succeed.

WJ seems to have taken offence.

Maybe he'll let us if we talk about smaller stuff, like the questionability of democracy or Capitalism Vs Communism.

I'm inclined to believe that WJ was offended because of his own beliefs. There's no reason to disallow such a topic. It seems like this forum needs some intelligence injected into it, so I think you all should give it a shot.

You need to find a way to have posts and comments moderated (meaning they are not visible until a moderator posts them).

Didn't someone do this with the mods? Someone did a moderation scheme for mod posting? Should work the same way for this debate and discussion thread.

I don't care about the mod thing, my point was that a similar methodology should work for debate threads. Posts have to be screened in one way, shape, or form
