Topic of this discussion:
"Having a private forum is not fundamentally different from or worse than discussing something in secret through PM and Email"
Hello,
In the hopes that the future council will follow this example sometimes, I am now introducing "Discussion Topics".
Having such topics can provide valuable insights in what lives here, even if the topic at hand is not of immediate concern.
(Plus, it helps keep ongoing discussions separated)
In order to keep things clear, even in heated discussions, here are some Guidelines for Discussion topics:
Guidelines for Discussion Topics
A statement is put forth for discussion.
Defenders of the statement should post in Green
Opponents of the statement should post in Red
Neutral comments should be posted in Yellow/Orange
Off topic parts should be in normal text color.
Any opinions put forth here should not be held against people in another part of the forum.
If you forget to post in the correct color, a mod can set the correct color for your post. Please don't be offended by that.
The statement for this discussion is posted on top of this post.
Have fun!
