I'd say mentally ill people are drawn to it. plenty of examples on the forum

True true, you speak words of wisdom there, like to have your idiots aka me Gina who aren't the smartest people about, then you ave your well perv aka liquid luck who posts mainly in papoy thread, then you have spam who are like the best crowd to be talking to once everywhere else is all serious as if it's life or death,

Since when did the rules for debates change .

Top Contributor is someone who is consistent in their responses and have a very convincing argument. This is for each and every debate, not debates for a whole month.

On a slightly related topic:

Is the Debate forum going to be just one parent forum or are you going to keep to the unnecessary parent forum and two sub-forums? The thread about this seemed in favour of just one forum.

As for this topic. It's incredibly difficult to make up debates and even more so for the sake of creating "official" debates without repetition. Member Debates seem to be more interesting these days, but mainly because they can be created at any time while official debates can't be too close or too far apart from each other (2 weeks?). I've never understood why Official Debates exist, when the Debates leader could pick out the best debaters from any of the debates. The title is "Debates Leader" after all, and should cover all debates. Otherwise the title would and probably should be "Official Debates Leader".

Yeh it becomes difficult because I don't want to regurgitate old debates, although others in the past have. Probably too old to still be in the job.

I also created a scheme for members debates, more precisely good debates created by members would get 20 rep. Actually awarding members on a monthly basis for them might be an idea.

I wouldn't call the current split pointless, I like it because it's much more organized. Although I'd be happy to reform that and other things as well.

Hmm I was thinking that as well. I think the Debates Leader could still pick out top contributors in members debates (not all of the members debates, though - only when someone really stands out in one of them) as well as still having official debates as well. As I said before though, I think a new official debate every week is a bit much at times - particularly with the amount of people taking part in them at the moment being quite low.

With lower forum activity, debates get affected . It tends to be the kind of topic you make. It's hard for me because I cannot read minds and like I've echoed, do not want to regurgitate old topics. They haven't been done strictly every week either, I've been following a more free-flowing way of doing them the last few months.

I'll see if it's worth re-vamping the whole system.
