It would be nice if there was a page that listed the demographics of the users of CreateDebate, like what percentage of them are christian, atheist, democrat, republican, etc.
Currently I only get notified of new activity in debates that I create. It would be nice if I could tag debates that other people have created as favorites and be notified when there is new activity in those debates.
When argument theads get too deep you can't indent them anymore so it becomes difficult to tell which responses go to which arguments if more than one person responds. When the indentation gets too deep, just start the next response back over on the left, but display some kind of indicator like this . For example, currently deep threads look like this
Bla bla bla bla bla blabity bla
Bla bla bla bla bla blabity bla
Bla bla bla bla bla blabity bla
Bla bla bla bla bla blabity bla
Bla bla bla bla bla blabity bla
Bla bla bla bla bla blabity bla
I propose you make them look like this...
Bla bla bla bla bla blabity bla
Bla bla bla bla bla blabity bla
Bla bla bla bla bla blabity bla
Bla bla bla bla bla blabity bla
Bla bla bla bla bla blabity bla
Bla bla bla bla bla blabity bla
When we get a new message from someone, don't put the inner monologue input textbox on that screen. I always end up posting messages as inner monologues when I think I'm replying to someones message because the input box is right above their message.
Add a way to ban certain users from ALL of my debates, so I don't have to do it for each debate. This would make it easier to handle trolls, because everyone can just permanently ban the trolls from all their debates.
When there is "new argument activity" once I click on "Jump to debate" it removes it from my "New Argument Activity" list. Sometimes I want to view the argument activity, but don't have time to respond right away. It would be nice if could add another link that doesn't clear it from the notifications area. Maybe "Jump to Debate" and "Jump to Debate & Clear Notification"
Right now I have to right click on the "Jump to Debate" link, copy the link address, paste it into the browser's address box and remove the "comment#arg123456" from the end of the address. It's a real pain.
Add labels to the debates indicating how serious they are. For example, abortion would be labeled a "Serious" debate. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood would be labeled "Not Serious". Then add a way to filter the debate list by those labels.
