I don't think this subforum could/should be dropped. Inevitably in any community there is a demand to debate these topics. It is necessary to have this outlet in order to keep other subforums reasonably free of conflict.

I was thinking it was going to die on its own based on the theory I stated before: a lot of people really want conflict and If the moderators do not permit that conflict people will get bored of this subforum.

That's a possibility.

I'm more inclined to believe that people who are decent debaters will crawl back out of the woodwork once their efforts cease to be wasted on deaf ears and buried by snippy comments. I know I'd participate a lot more if PPR were cleaned up a bit. I hope I'm not the only one.

I've sort of given up on this.

But I think I got my message across - this place is becoming a dump.

Idea: Perhaps religion/philosophy should be spun off on it's own forum, apart from politics?

Well, they're all three of them touchy subjects. Is there a particular reason that you think they'd be less problematic if divided? I'm inclinded personally to think that the problem is more a matter of enforcement of clear expectations (or lack thereof), rather than the subject matter.

Silence, Baron. I, a Duke, have greater authority than you. You are insignificant.

In another forum I sometimes frequent, they have a few hard-and-fast stickied rules, that seem to work:

Quote:

No Flamebaiting
Do not make obvious flamebait posts. This means that if you create a thread that consists of nothing more than, "Bush is Satan!" or make a reply stating that, "all Frenchies are horrible bastards!" you will probably be banned. This is not the place.
No Derailing
Along with the previous rule, the most important rule here in Party System. Keep it on topic. If the thread is about the pledge of allegiance, don't mention how you hate Bush and think that the Iraq war was unjustified - that's off topic. More regarding this at the bottom of this post.
Explain Yourself
Explanation is the difference between flamebait and argumentation. You can have the most unpopular and reviled opinion in the entire world, and as long as you can provide explanation and logic for why you think the way you do, it'll be okay by me. Don't just throw your sentiments out there without any reasons behind them. If you do so, you're just begging for flames, and will be banned accordingly.

In other words, anyone who comes into a thread just to say "All you Christians are insane" or "There is no God," something entirely off-topic and without any supporting arguments, gets a ban. No questions asked. Usually a temp ban of one to three days, and a permanent ban if they keep it up. And the moderators are pretty swift about acting on violations.
