A Preface On Intelligent Debate

Malson · January 21, 2007, 04:57:55 PM

I make this thread in hopes that it gets stickied, and in hopes that it cleanses the vat of stupidity this particular forum has turned into. There have been several new members posting here, and primarily here, that clearly do not know what this forum is truly all about. Simply because the name of the forum is Intelligent Debate doesn't mean each and every thread has to be about religion, or the war on drugs, or the war in Iraq, or any of that shit. The point of this forum is for someone to make a thread in which they do not want spam. There have been a couple people making tons of threads that have already been made, simply because they haven't discussed the topic here yet. You know who you are. You do not need to make these threads. You do not look any more intelligent making said threads. Sure, if you'd like to discuss these topics, and have a strong valid argument or inquiry, and are not making the threads because talking about it makes you feel intellectual, then make the damn threads. But check first to see if it's already been made, so that this forum doesn't become a shit hole again.

*starts a slow clap*

*continues clapping and becomes louder*

Also many threads could have been posted in General chat instead of here. They are not "intellectual" enough IMO. *moves one topic to show he means it*

Like anyone will actually notice this. They tend to ignore stickies.

Deliciously_Saucy · January 22, 2007, 04:10:51 AM

Yeh I know I didn't notice it...

If only there was a way to display that message everytime someone started a topic here...

Being able to spell should also be a prerequisite for posting here.

Moss. · January 22, 2007, 04:31:30 AM

This was posted yesterday?

Irock · January 22, 2007, 04:31:55 AM

Well said. And thats a great idea, Djangonator.

Christina · January 23, 2007, 01:08:36 AM

yes, i think that people generally like to spam anywhere as a resort to being funny, but anyways, i think that the posts could be deleted, or the thread can move to general chat after a slow decline in intelligent debate-ness

haloOfTheSun · January 24, 2007, 12:40:01 AM

Well, good. Now topics cannot be posted here (or at least they shouldn't be able to, I think Silver's taken care of that already).

Post topics in General Chat, and if it needs to, it will be moved here.

GilgameshRO · January 24, 2007, 12:43:54 AM

I like this idea.

haloOfTheSun · January 24, 2007, 12:45:27 AM

You should thank Zypher then. <3

:) · January 24, 2007, 12:45:51 AM

same, even tough I don't visit the intelligent database, I see some stupid topics/

landofshadows · January 24, 2007, 12:47:50 AM

Well how it was, Post could get moved out of Intelligent debate.

I guess its a promotion rather than a demotion, this new way... But is Gilgamesh still bale to move them from Intelligent debate back to General debate... I could see a Tennis like match happening...LOL

And what is considered intelligent by one person could be viewed as Morronic to another...

I guess with you and Silverline on the Job though and Gilgamesh look after the area it should be cool...

Boldness of the Apostles - is a bit on the Shite side... Only cuz I just posted in it though... If they are going Bald they should just wear hats... End of...LOL

Deliciously_Saucy · January 24, 2007, 02:14:00 AM

Good idea, AS LONG AS SOME OF YOU AREN'T BIASED TOWARDS ASS-HOLES!

Nightwolf · January 24, 2007, 06:22:27 AM

I forgive you zypher, you gave a kool idea.!

Irock · January 24, 2007, 06:23:34 AM

This was a good decision.

Blizzard · January 25, 2007, 02:19:12 PM

Heh, I can still post topic's here.

Second. I know you mods are petty and wouldn't move my post!

Ravenshade · January 25, 2007, 02:58:06 PM

that's quite true...however...someone like JH, will more often post rubbish...

It's an excellent idea. Well done Zypher

He has posted many good topics ( I think ) if not, he debates well.

The problem: Mods having to move bad post out of the intelligent debate section.

Solution: Post them some were else so the Mods can move them back in.

There is no difference in moving bad posts out or moving good ones in. It just SOUNDS like a solution.

Ravenshade · January 25, 2007, 03:01:59 PM

That's what they are doing...more or less.

+rep, doesn't matter either way.
