I think we need one, I've noticed that as a whole we like debating. So I think we need one. :thumb:
Edit:I think this is in the wrong section. Please Move it.

Agree x10. Thought about bringing this up myself, but everyone likes to disagree with me, so... :P

We didn't bring the Debate section over because for the most part, it was a dead section, with signs of life every few months, and even then, it was because someone dug up an old debate. So if you want to debate, I would just say make a thread in Everything Else (or any other section that relates) and put a [Debate], (Debate), or {Debate} as a prefix for the title.

I think that we should have a debate section with a weekly debate, then every monday or something a new one is created....It would be hard to come up with topics im sure, but we could make a list and someone could be in charge of creating the thread, and then we just go at it for the week, and if it was a good one we could have it as a two week debate.

I almost what to say, if debates are being allowed, there ought to be some stricter ground rules on behavior in those threads.
In debates, at least, no image responses, no inflammatory accusations, and no ad hominem attacks.

No trolls either.
Also,
ProCon.org - Pros and Cons of Controversial Issues is a good resource/list for debates/topics of discussion.

Debates get pretty serious and people get pissed very easily which will lead to flaming, etc etc. Very strict rules and huge enforcement on hating posts and I say all for it. Though putting a (debate) in the thread title in Everything else or even /b/ would be fine too.

So much trouble.

Pretty much what Arsik said.
I can add in a debate section, but if it either dies out like on guru, or people go insane like in the granny incest thread, i'd just get rid of the section again.

Debate section or [Debate] would be fine. As long as it was clear it was for serious discussion only.

Yeah, so it doesn't get too heated like that other thread that was just locked after I finished writing a very long and sophisticated response QQ.

As long as we don't get morons providing moronic arguments like in that thread, we'd be fine. And I'd like to see your response, can you PM it to me?
