Okay, so basically I made this board for intellectual discussion.
This was originally made to discuss Sailor Moon and Utena, and was put in the anime category, but now I'm allowing any kind of discussion. You can discuss politics or science, or anything your heart desires.
The ONLY thing I want on this board is intellectual discussion. What I mean by this is, I want you all to put up whatever opinions you may have of anything you want, but it has to be long and has to be in depth.
Here are the rules regarding the manner of these boards
1. Do NOT post up little 3 word or one sentence topics, if you want to discuss in that manner you can take it to the appropriate board.
2. Don't post up a debate simply saying "So what do you guys think of these two things?" If you post a debate, post your opinion and the statements backing it up first.
3. Don't use cursewords or swearing in your points or debates, keep it intellectual.
4. If you're debating, don't attack anybody else's views, and try not to come across as saying "this is how it is and everything you say is wrong" You don't have to say things like "this is my opinion" every other sentence, but please don't say things like "It is this way, and if you disagree you're wrong!"
5. Do NOT post up an analysis topic and then whine when people criticize or counter it. It's perfectly fine to 'debate' in a non-debate topic, meaning if someone says something you don't agree with in their analysis instead of making a new debate topic or making a whole new topic, just post your counter in their topic. Try to be nice about it though. In the same light, remember that if you put your opinion up, it is perfectly reasonable, and even encouraged, that other people will pick it apart and state their own views for or against it. Don't post one unless you're mature enough to handle that.
These kind of go without saying but I'll do it anyway
6. Back up your story with FACTS. I mean solid facts too. Try to use examples if they are available. Unless you're discussing like... 'how I think we should try to travel through wormholes'
7. A bit of bias is allowed, but don't say something like "I think this person is mean because I don't like her and she's ugly" lol At the same end, I don't care if you want to look like an idiot, so if you want to put up your opinion saying how science is totally wrong in an aspect, as long as you do it in a somewhat intellectual manner, and try to inject some logic into the situation... I suppose you can.
Rule for Sailor Moon/Utena debates only
8. You MAY choose to do any continuum of either story, but please don't mix. Don't back up claims on an anime character with examples from the manga. I don't care if you want to compare anime Sailor Moon to manga Utena that's fine, but don't try to justify your "Why anime Chibi-usa is annoying" with facts from the manga. Believe me, there's plenty of examples in the anime
FINALLY! The very important rule
Honestly, I don't care "hw else u tlk thu tha rest of tha bords" (you should try to do better than that on the rp boards but..) but use correct spelling and grammar (as close as you can, mistakes are excusable) and SPELL OUT YOUR WORDS on your analysis!!!
If you break any of these rules, I hate to throw out a good analysis but I will give you a warning, and if you don't fix it according to what I found wrong with it, then I will delete it.
That's all I can think of for now... I may put more later.
