For discussing or debating political issues, social issues, economic issues, national and international issues, and generally polarizing or controversial issues.
Is it a good idea to have a subforum like this or would it take away from the carefree relaxed environment of the forum? (Providing people disagree or get offended over something.)

I tend to avoid stuff like that personally. You never really know what will upset people. >.>

I think it's a great idea. If we add a disclaimer stating that discussion it will be heated and sometimes offensive, it'll let those who wish to stay "carefree and relaxed" do so while enabling the others to have fun debating. I approve!

When people are passionate about something they are more likely to "lose their cool".
That's my only concern. I don't even think the subforum would be used that much since post people tend to avoid discussing politics, but it would only be a subforum and not a forum in itself.

Yep, I agree. I think we should have it as a temporarily hidden forum that is only visible and available to those with a set number of posts. Also, a nice big disclaimer before entering couldn't hurt xD

You guys should moderate it closely then! Because these sorts of things.. tend to get heated if one isn't careful. xD
Otherwise, I'd be cool with it!

Well, I still don't think it's the best idea in the world. If you guys really want it though, go for it.

I think it would be fine, I'm sure we can all be civil. We should post a disclaimer saying that if things get heated to the point of insults and cursing, there WILL be consequences. I don't see why we shouldn't have one, nothing wrong with some serious discussion every now and then.

Heated discussion is still healthy discussion until it the points made become more personal than valid, at which point they can be stopped by staff members quite easily. It's worth a shot, I know some of us quite enjoy debates!
