DP Games has likes, why not Formal Debates, instead of True.
ps. Meant to post this in BG&D subforum.
Are you asking why likes are turned off(I dunno, just noticed it, will find out), or are you asking if we can rename True Debates as Formal Debates?
Both
.
1: I dunno, but will find out.
2: We are going with True Debates simply because that is what they used to be called. It might be something to look at further down the line, when the admins are not dealing with a few less issues.

I agree, there should be likes. I don't think it would harm the debate.
It would also let the debaters know that someone is actually watching them.
Like should be working in this forum now.

I don't think changing the name of a subforum would be a large task. Ok, I've said my piece.
Not that I know a huge amount on how this particular forum works, but given that the URL of this thread contains the name of the subforum within it, I suspect a rename would at the very least break any existant links to forum threads - which would probably be bad...Actually, when I was a mod, vauge noted that changing the names of sub forums was something that basically caused the site to explode. It was a big deal. Just sayin'.

I want to be patient about this and shall. I wanna say: we're not trufirs! We don't believe that ours is the one, the only pure and the True. That's silly! Let's face it, this is formal debate. I'd say a true debate is more like one on the street that has real consequences, maybe one that includes a cash prize. But the idea that fomal debate, with varying rules nonetheless, represents that which is beyond reproach bugs me.

We can easily change the name by hardcoding the link, however true debate would remain in the URL. Google doesn't like that much.
Is the task "large"? Not really. If others are equally concerned about the title we will address. For now, the title is not indicative of a persons philosophy or ideology.
So your feedback is to rename it to "Formal Debates"?
