Ok here we are. Now I know this is a video game thread, but we also know that some of us fall in love with this site even when games don't peak our attention. Some of us like to debate and share ideas, some of us enjoy discussion.
The debate threads are great but offer some problems. e.g. Trolling, popularity contests, attacking, ignorance and unfair odds at discussion due to social networks.
So I did some talking with POCKETS, who is willing to assist if intrests are there. We have decided it would not be a bad idea to set up organized debating. I will give a brief example of how this could work.
Topics could be picked by people, teams, mods, or even indifferent outsiders for a signed up debate. In this debate each side could hold forward a certain number or available entry positions for each side. The debates could have a certain length period for which they last before viewers can make comments afterwards regarding their opinions on the debate.
This would ensure a fair number of people on each side, and more regulate the trolling and negative attitudes by the people in the events due to its just more professional in itself.
SO, even if you do not like me, please post your intrests if you might consider enjoying, watching or participating in such a setup and perhaps we can one day create debate teams to go along with it.
