Debate/Mature Discussion Board.

[overlord]

We REALLY need one for people itching to sometimes discuss more uh, touchy and I guess "mature" topics. (Not sexually innapropriate, but "mature" like 9/11 and such.) Because once I'm done responding to the people talking with me or discussing, I start to sometimes wish there was a tiny sub-section for some mature debate.

But also to make it strictly mature topics, because an argument about which console is the "kewlest" goes in Off-Topic.

[Greystar]

I myself have no problem with this. i'm sure people can discuss harsh topics calmfully without going off topic, but there's no way to regulate (atleast easily) what gets posted or what ads show. well that along with who's allowed and what the limits are.

This is really ment to be a pg-13 forum.

[Sir Meta Knight]

Yes we need to discuss more ah, mature topics, than just games. I for once agree with overlord.

[Greystar]

it's not the idea, it's the lack of execution that's the problem

[overlord]

Well, I'm sure we're all mature enough, and adding a sub-section in say, the non-AQW section would be fine, and it wouldn't necessarily have to be over PG-13 because frankly, the "description" could say that some topics COULD be (somehow) offensive or mature as to be weary when clicking, because when I say debate, I frankly mean like questions that are PG-13 like maybe "What's your opinion on homosexuals and their rights?" or "The war in georgia." or maybe even "What's your opinion about gun rights?" sort of topics.

I'm sure if we have a nice group of people willing to flow with this, it should be fine.

[Greystar]

well i'm onboard with the idea so far. I'll pm Fygi and Minar, to see what they think.

[Minar]

No need to PM me Grey.
I'm here. :]

But me should have a "test" run first.
And if it runs smoothly, we could keep it.

i dont think its necessary to create a new topic, i think everyone here can handle the mature or harsh discusions that spontaneously emerge....but if you guys think it's a good idea ill go for it
