Right, it came up in IRC tonight so after speaking to Kry i've posted it here.

<MiB> Meanwhile, the entire rules thing is lame.
<MiB> people don't go into debate club to have civilized, rational debates
<MiB> its like the rest of the forum, its there so you have fun


MiB has already stated his opinion and looking back to the first page of this thread I have to disagee, the Debate Forum was created with the intention of allowing civilied, rational debates which were (at the time) swamped or derailed in the randomness of the Unrealted Stuff board. Also looking back at kyhm's original post I note that many of the rules there are frequently and flagrantly broken; to this end I propose that we appoint one person to be the moderator of this forum. I also propose that this should certainly not be MiB, Grey, Abunai! or Icy (because it would be a conflict of intrest to do so). So, what is everyone's opinion on this matter?

Ok I like the ones above with one exception.

Unrelated should have two and only two rules. Those rules should be as follows.

1) You do not, EVER, tell something private and/or personal about someone without their permission. We don't care what you say in private but this is a public forum and we don't want you airing someone elses dirty laundry. (examples: Revealing that someone cuts IS NOT cool. Revealing that Grey is an ass IS cool. Revealing that Grey likes it IN the ass IS NOT cool.)

2) Get a fucking sense of humor. This is the internet, it sucks, get a helmet.

I don't have a theoretical problem with this being regulated, I just think its not the purpose of debate club, so loading the board down with rules for specialized debate would a) unfairly constrict the amusement/entertainment factor of a debate, which puts the audience and those who post down significantly and b) contradicts the entire purpose of the board.

That is all.

Some people don't acknowledge point when they're put in a civil manner (or just read over them/skim read until emotion shows up.)

That's the main issue, as far as I've been playing/keeping along.

i agree with the wise old words of TSC...i remember when there used to be actual debating in the DC. i never used to really participate, but i'd browse on occasion.

i've confidence in our moderator's ability to moderate. For the most part, they are very easygoing, and don't like to step in unless they feel something *has* to be done. That they are doing so now, indicates to me that things do need to be done, before all the vetrans just give up on this wonderful board.
