Big thanks to DeathClaws for writing these.

Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen, to this humble abode that is the debate forum. Have a pipe, sit down by the fire and get your intellectual glasses out!
Please follow these simple rules, and we can continue Discussion without interference here:

1) Do not flame. Angry at someones post? Either write a literate, reasonable response, stating why he is a terrible person that has no right to exist (Or atleast being critical to what hes saying), or don't post at all.

2) Respect the opinions of others. Now this is no excuse ("ITS MY OPINION, SO LEAVE ME BE"), if you have something to say, don't just state it, give a reason. EVERYTHING is debatable in the end

3) Don't get off topic. Want to discuss something related? Create another topic and post a link to it in the related topic, referring to the new discussion.

4) State a fact, give us a link to prove it. Bring up a percentage? Give us a link to prove it.

5) This is for serious topics, like life, death, philosophy, and Ragegamer's ridiculous Avatars. ~Oh, you sneaky little...
If you aren't into serious debating, get into that sandbox and build a castle D:< !

6)All standard forum rules apply.

7) When you make a debate topic, please atleast start a literate introduction into it. No posting "Naruto ot Sasuke?" and then saying "Title."

8 ) Good grammar is a must. Even if you don't use it in the other forums (Which you should) the Debate Forum is a literate section, so please use proper punctuation and grammar.

9) There is no 9- So have fun!
