This forum's probably the least active of the main sections. Why is this? I think it's because it's not being used properly. Granted, not every post should be an essay written up to Ivy League expectations, but if you put little thought into what you're going to say, in what way is it an intelligent discussion forum?
If you're going to state an opinion, you need to support it with facts.
If you want to rebut someone, you need to use facts. Evidence is strongly encouraged, but not required.
I'm open to more suggestions on what to do here, but I don't want it as strict as Sleepywood's IDK. I rarely ever posted there, even though I often wanted to, because I was afraid of getting warned for not posting a dissertation. I don't want the same thing to happen here, but this is a little too lax.
