However, it is redundant to start yet another sub-forum when we already have a sub-forum for the purpose that you are stating. You want to be able to have civil discussion without all of the fluff, take it to the debate section because that's precisely what you are asking for: A debate.
In this whole time of discussion, have you actually ventured in there to read the rules and what it's about yet? If not, I suggest you take a peek. It's not a rigid as you think and you can implement many of the things you are asking for in a sub-forum.
That is fair enough. I guess my hangup with the debate section is that I have to establish ahead of time who I want to have on there, and no one else can freely jump in to join the discussion after the fact lol. I want everyone to have the chance to participate, if they would like. I'm not really asking for a debate, either. Just discussion/exchange of ideas.
Yes they can. All you'd have to do is let staff know that you wish for so and so to be able to post in the debate and they are let in. This can happen at any time. Go check it out. At least do that much and see if you'd be willing to initiate something there. I'd even be willing to be your testing partner if it makes you comfortable. You can think of a subject we'd be able to discuss and go from there. Read the rules of that section first though.
