I just find organised debate a bit cheesey and cringeworthy. people trying to impress etc when it should just be about the issues

It would save some jumping into an issue with a totally random load of rubbish that has nothing to do with the issue.

Credit where credit is due, I actually liked that idea.

I dont see how thats a great idea tbh, no offense to kate (or to anyone who thinks it is)

I mean, if you can think of topics for debates...make a thread in serious debates about it. Its the same thing and its easier for other people to find (for example someone might not want to read through 20 pages of other stuff to find out what this weeks debate is...someone who would have interesting posts in a certain debate might not even know its going on...etc etc)

It was said in that thread too that anyone could join in whenever they wish...so the bold bit wouldnt happen either.

That said though, noone ever said it wouldnt be able to go ahead, and just because I dont like the idea doesnt mean it wouldnt work.

I don't like the idea of debates being exclusive and people needing to request to join in, it's better to have separate threads for anyone to add to as they feel like as well I think. If someone starts posting rubbish then that's our job to sort out

Of course it would be about the issues, why would you choose to take part in the debate if it was not something you had some interest, knowledge or opinion on?

I agree with you. Threads should be for everyone.

I go to chat & games, then music, then check The Ban List and then go to new posts. I just go to what sounds interesting/has a lot of posts.

Of course!
The only difference with this idea is that you would have an idea when you submit a topic who is interested in debating it.
Like inone said, he started a thread about soccer violence that got 4 posts, if some had known a couple of days in advance he was starting a thread on that it may have gotten more interest?
Im not sure how kate envisaged the idea, hopefully she will let us know.

I agree MTVN. I have no issue at all with Kate, but since this has been brought up in her absence... as a member of this forum I don't want to have to apply to another FM for permission to post in a debates thread.

I'd call it a prolonged mental episode.

Because it's so contrived, I prefer debates when they've just come up in the news or a hot topic, not just people scraping there minds for ideas

Not in the slightest...I don't have to scrape my mind for ideas nathan... far from it, its a whirling with contemporary issues, sociological opinion and random suggestions all the time....

Ammi · 03-05-2012, 06:43 PM

..I don't understand how an organised debate would be any different to the usual debates...anyone can give an opinion on them anyway

Benjamin · 03-05-2012, 06:51 PM

I think Kate's intention was more like a small group, similar to a book group, who hold a daily debate on a subject of somebody in the groups choosing. That's how I saw it anyway.
