Should we have a list of debated topics and a request to read MW's website first?

A list of Ideas that have already been crushed?

Post by 2000AD »

How about we have a sticky that shows all the ideas that have already been debated on these forums and a link to the topics. Examples could include:

Species8247 Vs Empire
Two photon/quantom torpedos can not destroy a SD
Hyperspeed > warp speed.

We also need a sticky to suggest that people read Mike's website before posting on here.(so as they don't make themselves look like idiots by bringing up topics that are alrewady crushed on the site.)

Some people might bring up new evidence to some of their claims and post it so it requires a new debate.

Definitely. We need to be able to more easily tell off some of the people who come here with the innocuous belief that their arguments are completely new and have never been tried before.

Thats why we have the links to the topics. So they cna post on the same topic without having to start up a new one.

As long as B&B are turning out pure unfiltered crap, there will always be something that someone too ignorant to understand will try to use to debate SW vs ST.

Might want to add any idea based on something GK said to that list.

Nice idea, but it won't work. Especially about reading Wong. If those guys would just realize where they've gone wrong just by reading Wong, then educating them once is not a waste of time. If they're DarkStar IIs, then no amount of education will help them.

The main reason i proposed this is to stop us from having to debate the same things over and over again to new peole.

No, I want some morons to bring up the same argument every few weeks so we can make fun of them.
