Philosophical Debates Section

[King]

With the majority of members coming from a forum like HF however, this put into perspective is a little less reality and more fiction. The reason why this forum maintains it's sense of professionalism is because there is a difference in the forum. If we have a debate section, members from HF will surely change that, and possibly influence boundaries of this forum outside of that section as well because there's no change in the routine. They practice debates on HF by trolling, you can come here and just expect to change that just because your on a different forum. The forum changes, but personality isn't as easily changeable.

I've seen members come and go here for a while. The starters if you watch them usually start out with an HF attitude, and which also sometimes includes their assumption that the rules on SF and HF are the same because they are both run by Omni, which is false. But if they like the forum, their attitude gradually changes because there is less tolerance for HF style behavior here. A debate section is the only link comparable between the two forums where they may think that they can act in the same way.

So maybe on another forum, and I agree with your side, but because of where the majority of the activity on SF is derived from, I wouldn't say that this is the case.

Perhaps it would be a good learning curve for those members coming from HF. Some strict enforcing of quality control in the debate section would surely have a lot of the pull their head in.
