    Usually, I will edit a poll to add a close date (normally 2 weeks) if the thread
    poster does not set one themselves. I missed this one. You all might want to
    discuss what shoud be considered as a reasonable period of time.

    :m: Peace.

    I know its been open for a while but either no one cares or they are to lazy to click 2 times.
    We already have debate teams and look at how insane some of the threads get
    *Looks at religion forums, looks at pseudoscience forums, then look at paraschology forums*. If we allow to many people to get in to it then it will just end up to be another rant like most of "debate" threads.

    Either that or you can nonimate team leaders (Atheists, Christians) and have them "invite" people whom they wish to be on their "team" up untill they reach a maximum then poll a topic for the debate, set and expiration date, then hope they reach a conclusion with moderation to keep it from become a cesspool. Then when its done we nominate and vote for a new team leader and a new topic.

    Is it possible to reopen the poll?

    Why don't you just get together with a few people and do it? Figure out if you want to do it with teams or single people or what. Then start a thread. State the rules and topic in the opening post. Anybody that is not on a team and tries to post can be ignored. Maybe even get a mod to delete them from the thread. What you would need to do is come up with the rules. And then gather the participants. It doesn't need to be in software. I'm sure there are people who are capable of sticking to a social contract. Could be wrong though...

    Debates are a good idea. But sometimes, things can get out of hand.

    I like the debate thing. But then again, I've always thought there was enough debating in the other sub-forums.
