Developing Threads

Developing Threads [+ favourites]

Dear Administration,

this one goes under help. it has been made abundantly clear to me that my method of developing threads, as effective as it may be, is not efficeint enough. i understand this fully. the way that i and ethereal discuss does take up a lot of space and it is hard to jump in with out actually reading the thread. and that is what the administration is looking for, right. well i have also realized that that is how threads get off topic. people dont even read them and jump in not knowing what the point of the thread is. in the case of "can war be a good thing". ethereal and i did keep our eye's on the prize, but yes there were MANY detours. i find that theses detours were more than nessecary, but vital to the threads developement.

but that is not what the administration is looking for. i understand your concern, when it seems like two people are the only ones posting on your site, but i cant help that. except to post only a few times a day, or in one or two threads at a time.

but what the point is, is that we got the job done. we came to an intelligent understanding that war can be both good and bad, depending on how the society see's it. it is all a matter of perspective.

so the help that i am asking for, is how should the members of captain cynic develope the threads. because the traditional way, of long boring rants gets us off topic. and mine and ethereal's takes up to much space. ?suggestions?

Awakend.

Have our dear administrators responded yet AW?

havent even been recognized

"Wht cry for those that often cry? Instead, help them smile, and smile for those that smile."

they dont appear to be over good at reading/responding to suggestions that we put down.

you guys are funny. how about you all put your heads together and come up with some logical ways of debating effeciently and effectively. im sure it would be beneficial to many people.

And what magical creature are you to decide what is "efficient" or "effective"? A unicorn? Big foot? Hey AW whats that mexican lizard, eats all the goats?

"Dark and silent and complete."

LOL perhaps you shouldnt attempt this task, i question whether you even have the capability. nowhere did i even come close to saying i decided anything. in fact i was encouraging you all to come to your own conclusions as to what was "efficient" and "effective."

or maybe you feel that it is logical to include arbitrary tangents in order to solve a highly specified topical debate? id have to disagree.

and its the Chupacabra.

Attempt what my lovely wyote? What is your pretty little head trying to confer?

"Dark and silent and complete."

This is always complained about here at cynic but nobody does anything about it mostly because people are more interested in their ego and not the exploration of the subject. We all say don't side track the threads but then once someone gets in a corner they'll use politics or other off topic scenario's to get their point across because they know they can win an argument on a different turf.

I think everyone should only get one post per thread except for the person who started the thread. This way everyone just states what they think about the subject and not turn the topic into some silly debate. Debating doesn't really bring forth the truth or not necessarily pick the best argument. Everyone here knows that a good debater can "win" with a weaker argument. By eliminating debates we would in many cases eliminate off topic discussions entirely. By removing the ego the exploration of the subject gets priority, which should in theory improve discussions. Another good point to add is the quality of the posts will go up for everyone will only get one shot or one say on their opinion of the subject.

That's no fun.

"Dark and silent and complete."

A world has many sides to it. If every subject is a world, I want to here every side of it, even the religious side.

I think it might be interesting to see where a subject might lead.

But I think the name calling needs to go, its childish and leads no where.

"A fool says I know and a wise man says I wonder."

Well no one would be censoring what you'd have to say they would only limit the number of times you can say it. All sides to the issue can be stated. It may be interesting to see where it leads but it certainly does not answer the question. What I'm suggesting is progress perhaps that may not be wanted. I understand it's much more amusing to debate and such but it was only a suggestion to possibly fix what everyone’s always complaining about.

"I love to see people struggling for their purpose in life..."

the idea of the debate is to try and change the views of those around you, or to come to a conclusion as a group. it is the point of this forum, hence why if you look up and left, it says "discuss" in big friendly letters. or at least it does most of the time.

but mayb it would be an idea to try a thread like that at some point, though i would think that people wil post their views, read a few others, and then get irritated at their inability to try and persuade others to their point of view.

Nobody would be denied their claims and their supporting evidence just that everyone would only get one chance at it.
