Such section would make the rest of the forums "look like a joke"; in other words if you posted outside the "serious section" then you have posted a "shit post/ a not serious post".
That limits the precious freedom we have here in my opinion.
When you reverse my comment; you get the "Riyah" sub-section.
I disagree. People don't like like a joke if they don't use the Debate forum. This is just a slightly more relaxed Debate forum, it's for people to have serious discussions in a "civil" manner, without people coming in and either being jerks or taking the thread off-topic.
Also, I fail to see how creating a new forum limits your freedom. The rest of the forum stays the same as it was.
Take A69 and the Adult Lounge sections for example: posting posts with explicit, adult content outside these sections will lead to a ban, so the existence of them did force a constraint on every member to behave outside these sections.
I assumed the same with the serious section but in reverse: some will not be serious except in the serious section, and posts outside it will not be taken seriously by some.
I hope I made sense
