It is possible that the 'General Board' already serves this purpose but I think a 'Debate Board' would be a good idea. We could have genuine, structured debates with moderators ensuring they play out that way. We could have 'back-and-forth' debates and we could have proper 'This House Believes That...' debates too, where each side could take turns in outlining their argument, then take questions from the floor and then answer them and conclude. Just a thought

that's actually a cool idea . i think in CGS (may someone who went there correct me) had a thing like that. you get pretty interesting debates . for example, i read one which was "was hitler good or evil?" and good won, because of how well argumented it was, even if the person who defended it didnt, of course, genuinely like Hitler, but it was just a matter of point-of-view, and it turned out pretty interesting

That person must have been one hell of a debater. well, if you look on how he just wanted the good for Germany and its people, sacrificing the ones who looked like him (not aryan), admitting he wasnt perfect ..

Heard that argument before, or at least something similar, and there's a surprisingly strong argument against him being evil (in favour of being good), even though on a basic, human instinct, logical point of view it pretty much falls apart. Ill discuss this one with Assy - worth considering

OK, we are going to go with the board and see how it goes. Anything gets too heated then we will abandon the idea - but give it some good clean healthy discussion and it will remain. We will be keeping a close eye on it, but both agree that is the participation is done right could be a great new dimension for the site. Best of luck guys. As far as moderating goes, we will keep an eye on it ourselves for now. We might opt to get someone to specifically do it - and will consider you as well Manic should the time arise, especially if it helps you as well - but for now we will monitor and moderate it ourselves. The board is found here, and can be navigated to in the General Board. Keep it healthy guys
