There has only been one debate, and that was over a year ago.
Perhaps, HAF make another sub-forum, called "Challenge Area", where people can propose debate topics and find other people to accept them.
Then people should be allowed to add topics to the One On One Debate forum. Of course, there will be people who will not follow the rules by accident, but overall, it would do more good than harm to the community.
If you're interested in a one on one debate, we (the staff) are totally fine with it in fact we encourage it because it's pretty fun. The unofficial official policy is that the debaters agree on a debate and style and then give a moderator the heads up and we grant access. I
ll tell you what, I'll go ahead and make a new sticky thread in which people can sign up, challenge, or submit ideas for debates.
