The whole site, structure also, will be completely revamped.

 

It's gonna be HUGE. So we'll have to see what the Big Man says.

all of those rules are really good ian

 

I hope people like this guy weren't the reason you're closing this place.

:grrr: is my reaction to most of his posts.

Well, I'm still sad that the Debate forums will be gone. But, it would be nice to have a Debate group so at least some of us can debate there. On the bright side, the whole site will get a change so I guess that sort of makes up for it x_x

Bah guess ill be going on aother one of my month long breaks from the TDN forums again because the debate section was basically the only reason I came back.

I think that WEVIL and Fuzio (The ones who only come here for the debate forums) don't really need to come to a neopets help site to debate. I mean, there are HUNDREDS of forums on the net made specifically for debating. So why come to a neopets help site? I really don't get it.

Aww,I've missed you and Buzzo. He ain't been on in an eternity.....and you've got a rep to withhold! Don't let n00by newbies pwn your post count just because this is going downhill...

I'm wondering if perhaps they want to debate here because this is where they know people and perhaps it is nicer to debate with people you know better. It is also hard to spend time in two differnet forums (I participate in three - and almost never during the same stretches of time - nanowrimo during November and online-sweepstakes when I enter sweepstakes (they have an AWSOME forum, btw)). So I think I can understand why they want to do it here.

 

I liked the idea of a password protected area, but I think it would need to recognize your user ID also or instead - it is too easy to give out or find out passwords.

 

I'm thinking this discussion may not be totally out of line if perhaps one day the debates forum was reinstituted there seem to be some good ideas here. Perhaps a short term break is in order for the staff to settle on what they are comfortable with. Just my 2 cents. ...probably not worth more than that. :)

Neopets fan forums have Debate topics that are monitored. Other forums don't have so many rules or they just don't enforce it. I think having topics of different kinds other than Neopets is a good way of getting away for a while without leaving the community. I mean, sometimes I get tired of discussing Neopets issues so for example the Debate topic helped me get away from a while without having to go onto a different forum where I didn't know anybody.

So has there been a decision mods? Or is it still All Quiet on the Debate Front?

We're still looking into it, but your opinions are being listened to. It isn't a lockdown on your freedom of expression; it's to stop arguments within the immature people here, and to keep the community whole.

How bout we have our own debate topics in the Fantastic Member's section? If a person can reach 2k posts without being banned for being an @**, surely he/she could have some maturity..

I really hope you are kidding about that 2,000 post thing.

confu i think 2k is abit too harsh, 1000 is more reasonable, but guess that wouldn't work dunno,

 

but i think if the staff do choose a mod for the debate i think it should be a respectable persona nd trustworthy rather than a person who comes on here to debate

But think of it this way, if people want to debate they have to get 2k posts. And along the way to those 2k posts, there's plenty of time to ban them if they're an @**.

"1000 posts!" said the user with 1,084 posts.

 

"That's ridiculous! Make it 2000 posts." said the user with 2,391 posts.

 

" <_< " went the person who only had 278 279 posts. "278 is definetely more reasonable."

 

(btw I'm not trying to be a snot - I'm trying to point out the errors in the system)

well i dunno but you don't want it like 100 to 200 because thats far too low and can be made in 2-3 days then they act annoying by spamming etc like confu said,

 

or should be a super member level at 400-500

Yea 500 sounds more reasonable. They would already be Super Members and that means they take the forum seriously. But 2,000 posts would create a whole spam war of every kind.

lol. SPAM WAR! SPAM WAR!

 

MOD EDIT: Please refrain from spammimg the forums.

Dude,that was a useless post...

 

I'd say 2k, because 400 is way too easy to et these days.

How in the absolute world is 2,000 posts easy? Most people probably can't do that within a year.

 

In fact go to word, type in an 'X' ten times and then hit copy and paste 200 times and see how many 2,000 posts are.

 

Edit: Picture ->

Why, I never do spammimg! Honest :D

Can't believe that could be any worse than spamming!

Alright,it's kinda excessive. I still think Super Member status is too easy to get.

To the mod who edited my message, I was just joking. I wouldn't do that.

When are we going to hear the final decision on this all?

Whenever it closes,I suppose.

January 1st it will all be deleted, whether it comes back or not is up to Ian, but I doubt it
