CS Debate Thread

[Never & Rush]

Looking to get a little debating out of your system?

You've come to the right place. Welcome to the CS Debate Thread! Here you can propose your own small debates and join into others to give your two cents. Just make sure to read the rules and check out the links below before posting.

Rules

+Keep the debates appropriate.
+Use your manners. Name-calling and personal attacks will not be tolerated.
+Always acknowledge that there are multiple sides to every issue, and be as open-minded as possible. Plugging our ears and shouting at each other doesn't make for a good debate.
+Don't be offended or upset if someone disagrees with you. This is, after all, a debate thread. None of this is meant to be taken personally.

You report the post for the mods to deal with.
I don't think people should be doing Moderator work.

And on trade settings. A big one because I definitely know I get seriously ticked if people obviously don't follow my rules.

Problem is the one that made it start it was a misunderstanding, and was solved and didn't become a fight and all before the strikes were even there.

I dont agree with public strike systems at all. It just makes people look down on them.

Well, it's the mod's job to reprehend any rule breakers. Yes, maybe there are too many posts and it's difficult to look at them all, but being a mod is a pretty though job. I've been a mod before and it was incredibly tiring but usually quite rewarding as well.

Nonetheless, the rules that are in place for the CS forums in general should be all that is needed to keep every topic going. As I've said before, I've been lurking on the 'things that annoy' you thread for a while and I've never seen a real fight break out. It's mostly people not being able to handle having their opinions or beliefs challenged. That is not breaking any of CS's rules as long as they are not plainly rude about it, I believe.
