Debate CHAT

Started By

There should be a Debate CHAT! Most of the time in the forums, barely ANYONE even sees or comments on your Posts, so I think there should be a CHAT for it! There also should be an agreement thing that pops up each time you go into the Debate chat so no one talks about things like Homosexuality or whatever. It would be nice if you could get quicker responses. Please consider my idea.

Also: If you think a debate chat shouldn't be here since this is a Dog Sim, then why is there a roleplay chat? O_O

Because people, even when you advertise, don't want to debate topics about which they know nothing. That's the problem. And debate can be quick, just like in a tournament or proper debate class/forum. Just because someone posts every 3 minutes rather than 3 seconds doesn't mean the chat would be slow. It would just be slower than Chat A, which goes by super fast a lot of the time.

No support here. 1. It'd be insane to moderate. A ton of stuff gets through chat A, with that being moderated constantly. I'd rather have our moderators there, and looking for other problems, then having to watch two chats. 2. If it did happen, you would get people who just go in there and not have a clue about what they are talking about. Debates need some level of forethought or else they are called arguments. Chat, being the whole 'live' thing it is, almost begs for no thinking ahead of time. 3.If chat B and roleplay barely get used, what would be different about debate chat? It would probably still be the same people there that are in the forums. Why not just advertise your debate threads?

Support! I would absolutely love to see a debate chat. I think it should replace one of the other chats that don't get used as well. (chat b, roleplay, etc.)

The debate thread is basically the same people posting over and over. You can't say the other chats aren't patrolled enough. They are very rarely used, and that's honestly a very lazy excuse in my opinion, cause they are rarely used and I have never seen things get out of hand on any chat except chat A.

Yes. The last post in Chat B was at 8:18 AM Ala Time, and it is 5:33 PM Ala Time now.

Debate topics on the forums rarely even get answered. Chat B and RP chat are hardly ever used. Why could it not replace one of them?

Oh. :(

No Support. Sorry guys, I don't agree. The Debate Forums get out of hand enough already, without giving a "live action" platform.

No support. Both as a player and a Mod. I think the debate forums is enough. Chat moves VERY fast. With 4 chat rooms already that don't get properly watched I think Debate chat could get out of hand.

Yes! Thank you guys!

07-3-2011 at 9:35 PM

Yes yes yes, please. Debate chat is something I've wanted for a long time.

Support. Nobody goes on the debate thread, except for the same few people.
