There Should Be Site Moderators To Make Sure Topics Actually Have A Point
I've noticed a lot of very pointless, and quite frankly silly topics. Things that aren't really up for debate or things that just don't make sense. I think it would be a good idea to get moderators or something. Unless anyone thinks it's a bad idea...

The moderators of this site are the people actually debating? Surely???

I agree with Cephus, people will just start debates to gain points, and frankly, those of us who work hard to get our points are left in the dust. To all of you who make stupid debates, please stop!

I am beginning to get disgusted at the sheer volume of absolutely stupid topics. Things that aren't debatable, are completely irrelevant, make no sense aren't worded properly...It just overshadows all the brilliant debate topics because the sad fact is idiots outnumber rational thinkers. I really hope the site administrators do something about it.

Like "kids should be allowed to use "mary jane" (14-18) under parental supervision". What on Earth would possess anyone to debate that? I think the site would work so much better, and actually serve it's purpose if we eliminated these inane topics...

Hi this is Socrates. It would be a very sensible idea to have Moderators. For many years i have been involved with Debating Societies. Even when debates took place in person with all debaters present. I was the equivalent of a Moderator today.It certainly made for a better running of the Society. Sorting the chaff from the wheat.

Exactly and to make sure they are at least debatable by something other than raw opinion "spiderman is better than superman" come on now?

Not just silly topics but just random thoughts thrown together in a few seconds specifically to get one's post count up. We could name a couple of extreme offenders on this, the ones who post 10-20 debates in a row but never bother to answer their own arguments.

No way. You can report abuse, and someone suggested a way to ignore specific users/debates. I don't want someone deleting my posts just because they don't agree with me.

NO! Less moderation! Less government! Didn't anyone ever tell you that power corrupts? Who will decide what is relevant? A socialist? A fascist? Maybe a normal person but will everyone agree with everything he says? NO! Let people decide for themselves what is relevant by skipping the dumb debates and only participating in the good ones.
