Request for a "Mature Debate/Discussion Group"
- Thread starter Tyeforce
- Start date
The staff aren't psychic, they can't tell the future. It could very well be a success, but we'll never know if we don't try. And you have no idea whether people will stay mature in the board or not. I don't know why you pick me out, because I'm very capable of being mature. While I don't always act mature 100% of the time (you gotta have some fun sometimes), that's what the public forums are for. You're acting as if, if we make this group, then the rest of the forums won't exist. No, this group will only be for more touchy, controversial topics to be discussed in a mature manner. And it would be very easy to regulate. We could let anyone in the group, so long as they're not a flat out troublemaker or clearly immature, and let them prove themselves in the group. If they can't handle it, then out they go. Simple as that.Jas0n said:
I wasn't around when we had the Sage rank, but if I understand correctly, they were based on the Sage rank of NSider, were they not? And NSider Sages were just members that have been around for a long time or had many posts, right? Obviously, the majority of them would tend to be more mature, but there was no exclusive board for the discussion of more serious topics, was there? Point is, this may be similar to Sages, but it in no way is Sages. There's no reason why we can't give it a shot and see how it goes, and it may end up being a big success.AndyB said:

Yea, it's the mature, and immature here in this topic. So you can't use this topic to say.Tyeforce said:
But the group wouldn't have immature members in it, or at least they wouldn't act immature in the group, even if they have an immature side to them (but also a mature side), because if they're being immature in the group, they'll be removed from it.MrMr said:

I can see how a lot of people are thinking this won't work, but you never know until you try.
All this is, ALL it is, is a place where people can post serious topics and not have some immature kid come in and completely derail the topic or worse, cause an unneeded fight. There is no exclusive benefits to it other than if you can't prove you're mature enough then you can't join. Simple as that.
I can see a lot of potential in serious topics on this board, but with all the little kids on here they can't go anywhere because they can't handle it, and a private section where we could post these topics out of the eyes of these kids would be great.

Exactly. We're not allowed to talk about a lot of topics because they may not be appropriate for the many younger members here, and then there are the immature members who ruin the discussion of mature topics that are allowed. This group will be isolated from both, so there wouldn't be any problems. No special titles or perks like Sages, just a place for mature discussion to be held.Professor Gallows said:

Also, I'm not sure who said it but someone mentioned that this would be pointless and we should just report the bad stuff.
So by that logic, we should just report something bad and then wait for it to be dealt with instead of having a place where it would already prevent such a thing from happening. Furthermore, there are far more than 5-10 people who are mature enough to handle this sort of thing.

No I think this is a really bad idea...
This forum was specifically made for animal crossing and now people are posting lots of stuff thats not animal crossing and thats fine but the topic should at least be about video games becuase it is like 1 of the top nintendo forums right??? (Or something like that) Anyways we should not be getting off in to stuff like (Just an example) "What do you think people should do about the guns" (Lol idk) the point is this forum was made for video games not random debates or stuff....

But the whole point of it is that it would be separate from the rest of the forum. Besides, people are going to talk about topics other than Animal Crossing regardless. We should at least have a place where they can discuss more serious topics.Jrrj15 said:

Which is exactly the reason why we should separate the more mature topics from the ones involving AC and other video games. It's a fantastic idea, and not everyone still plays AC on this board.Jrrj15 said:
NSider Sage candidates were chosen by the administration, and they had to write a review of a game and were then accepted, if I remember correctly. By the end of NSider I'm pretty sure quite a few of us were Sages (I was not among them, but I believe Bulerias and Jeremy both were.)Tyeforce said:
I don't necessarily reject to this idea, I just don't think it can be fairly implemented on this site.
