Flat Earth Believers / Re: For the discussion of the improvement of the forums
« Last post by Tom Bishop on Today at 06:45:56 PM »We have a place for FE to talk about things among themselves, yes. It's fine as it is. I don't understand what you are suggesting.
The forum is also inviting the public to come and debate against us. "Come debate the Flat Earthers!" is advertised to the world, to which we are expected to go and debate. Why can't we set rules for the debate we are essentially forced to participate in? The FE never signed up for, or voted for, 24/7 debates against the public. We just want the debates to stay on topic, good quality, and non-insulting.
That will either require you to become much more strict with moderation, or we can opt for something like a post-approval mode and adjust the parameters to make it work.
I don't see what you want from us. You are demanding that FE participates in an endless, rule-less debate that they did not ask for or agree to. How is that fair?
How is asking for on-topic and non-insulting debates an unreasonable request? This is something that the website is forcing upon us to participate in, and so we should have some say. There are other boards on this forum to have unrestricted discussions on things. If you are forcing a group of people to debate there has to be sanity to it.
Boo-hoo that they might get few posts in a thread a day, as their post is approved for basic sanity, while I have to be attacked by the world in a debate that we never agreed to.
