debate forum

Seeing how there are a lot of threads (mainly in the general discussion forum) now that are filled with debate topics, would it be possible to make all future threads in a separate debate forum? Many threads end up as often long-winded debates with logical arguments, and eventually they become more than just simple discussion topics. As it stands, I think there are enough mature people here to merit the creation of a debate forum without causing much of a problem. Thoughts?

I like the idea. I'm not sure if it will stop the debating in General Chat completely, but it would probably at least decrease the amount of it.

I don't know if the aim is to stop the debating....

While I do like the idea, as I'm kind of a debater myself, I don't know if it's needed. Maybe there could be a special debate forum? I don't know if SR still has this rule, but there used to be an option where anyone could propose an idea for a special group, and SR would review it to see if it was a good idea. If it was approved, the creator would moderate the group. I had considered making a DDR one once but thought it might not fit with the Spyro theme of this forum too well. =P

its not a bad idea, the only problem is every topic can be (and for that matter) should be debated

whats your fave band
i like this
what! i hate that
why
because
i guess
etc.

if a debate topic is gonna be made, i would suggest maybe it be the only place used to discuss contraversial issues

politics
religion
etc. (cuz really politics covers a huge chunk of it)

Aye captain I think that a debate fourm would be a good idea.

I know that I am the perfect person to argue with because my point of veiw is contraversal. Why cant we all just get along?

I made a thread for us christians to discuss our weiws but it got closed because the non-believers wanted to argue. I did not want to turn them away so i asked some general questions but even that made an arguement. If some one can seperate the arguements from the discussions that would indeed be a brake thruogh. We still will need the administraters help on this. Lets just see if he is up for the chalenge.

No debate forum. General chat and the spam section are enough non-spyro talk sections.

I guess that answers that question oh well. *Sigh*
