What glory? Did I miss the part where it wasn't pseudo-debating?



EDIT: On a serious note, you can still have "debates" in Discussion. People don't realize that.

I feel that the formality of it ensures there will be less random and useless posts.

Perhaps glory was the wrong word, but I see more useless posts in Discussion than what I saw in the Debate Board.

That's because all useless/off-topic posts in Debate were deleted.

Basically this, yeah. You can have a debate in Discussion, Murmayder, you're just being stubborn and my intuition tells me you just want a new board to moderate.

I don't want a new board to moderate, i would have suggested Galt and Onamist. Odlov, naturally, would more than likely be the overall enforcer but he doesn't require a local moderator's position.

I'm not meaning to push it, I don't really care. Just saying I think it would be better is all.

discussions degrades into people crying
"well this is my oppinion and im entitled to it"

debates, do not.

oppinion was always backed up by fact. and those that didnt back it up, were modpwnt.

it spazzed out with retards every now and then, but then people like odlov made it all worth it.
also, spazzed out with retards no more than any other board does...

Users can make their own internal thread rules if they please. I've seen it applied in Events threads and I'm sure it'd work in Discussion. Just PM a moderator and I'm sure they won't mind keeping a close eye in the thread, enforcing any Debate-like rules you might have.

Still, you raise a good point.

ya, but the point is, i dont want to make a thread with new rules and spend 3/4 of my time saying "read the first post" "read the first post" "read the first post" which is exactly how it would be.
thats what global rules are for. sort of.

Yeah, yeah, that's why you want to contact the moderator to NICELY ASK HIM to enforce rule X on the topic. To prevent repetition. The moderator will just infract and delete, which will set an example. And people will start reading the first post everywhere, which actually helps out the general forum mood.
