Why should there be a debate forum?

You guys got the news area, you all already debate there!

Untill you can convince that all of your are open minded, that you have no problem with people belittling and negatively commenting on your religious and political beliefs, there will be no forum for it.

...and you read that and were gonig to post "I have no problem with it" but guess what? You and me, we are just 1/9964 Members, just a little tiny bit over .01% of TH population.

"But but! Most of those members donit even come on!" Ok fine lets say TH has 200 members. 1/200 thats just .5%. And honestly, there are topics that are ment to be avoided.

The news forum is weak, most of the real articules that could be talked about there are hidden in a sub forum. Post an article about Iraq there, 9 times out of 10 it will never leave the subforum. Also many questions that are being asked don't leave the article. Also this is restricting it to only articles as they come.

I don't see how a 1 topic test trial wouldn't be fair. No indirect questions. No going through this lazy "well, we have the news forum" No. The news forum is for news. If you want I can ask direct questions to people from articles and joint articles. But then it wouldn't be news anymore, it would be opinion.

Give us the one chance. Let one debate be tested. Then once and for all we can see if we can have this type of forum. Its one test away.

Can't admins password protect a forum? An only give the password for the debate forum to certain people? Also, set permissions to certain people to be able to start, or reply to a thread. This way, if you have access, you will only be able to read so that they can learn how to debate. Then they can start replying.

In my opinion, as said, creating a forum with "password" is not an option. Let me give you an example:

Admin: "We opened a new debating forum"
Us: "Nice"
Admin: "But, only cool, mature member can come in"
Us: "Oh"
Admin: "Rheias, you are of course in, and you, and you, and you..."

Say you weren't picked, what the Admin is saying? You are not nice nor mature? Well, yes. It won't make you feel the best, and raise anger towards Admins. Not a wanted result.

Teaching someone to debate is like teaching someone to draw.

Sure, show them tips, tell them things, but in the end. Either you can or cant.

Oh wait, that wasn't YES or NO was it? Sorry that i decided to debate instead of satisfying you. ;)

Like a secret forum to debate?

Heh, if they did that, they might have already done it and we wouldn't know because we wern't allowed! :eek: That makes me sad :(

Though they probably wont do that. Secret forums never work, people will just find out about them and try to get in.

There was a small debate in the GD recently. That thread didn't go too well.

> There was a small debate in the GD recently.
Ironically enough, that wasn't even started as a debate.
Someone posted a weird picture. Some people thought that "I don't want to flame, but fuck you" doesn't count as flaming so they made a couple of replies similar to that and...

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
