Let there be debate
« on: January 09, 2007, 03:33:44 am »
I think we need a board for people to debate the things forbidden in the Hydlaa Plazza.  I'm talking about relgion and politics, there are many people here who I would like to debate, but I never get the chance.  Could we have a child board for debate, but one with a warning not to enter if you don't want to be offended?

No.

There are billions of places on the internet where you can have infinite debates on these subjects. This forum is meant to be for PlaneShift, and it is meant to be family-friendly. It is not a place to preach, riot, throw hissy fits, and argue about things as personal as religion and politics. I'm not here to moderate arguments over these issues - no one is. They are simply not allowed.

You don't need to debate about this here. Please go find another forum for these topics.

She's wrong actually.

You can debate all these things in P.M
Me and Parallo for example, are doing the whole Evolution thing, in P.M's.

So if you want, you can use that.

As for threads... as mentioned... we can't do it here.

Sorry :(

We can however do all this debating at http://Unksi.kapsi.fi/elementallight which I would be pleased to create a section for anyone to debate whatever they wish, effectively un-moderated, me are generally rather liberal...... Although I suspect this post will be deleted.

Topics like that can completely kill the culture of a board.  The flamers take over as everyone else leaves town.  It's not a good thing.

I'm inclined to agree. People just don't seem to like having their entire way of life critqued for some reason... :P

Wrong about what? She's just saying that she couldn't be arsed breaking up all the fights that are bound to happen, and so no 'debate' forum will be created.
