Slow Forum

When a forum is often not widely visited or hardly has very many posts daily. These types of forums are usually obscure and not widely recognized. Put simply, if the average daily post count is under 475 and the average daily topic count is under 45 then it is a slow forum.

Forum Driver

Occasionally, you will encounter a forum/chat room with multiple staff types. One of these types are Drivers, which are kinda like semi-moderators, however they usually take it seriously 24/7, as they are desperate for promotion.

They are capable of using mutes and kicks and can announce messages. They are the ultimate assholes on the web. Exercise caution when approaching them.

Forum Drivers tend to act like this:

sueno21456: Flex your dongers! Flex your dongers!
sueno21456 was muted for 60 minutes by Voltaire

Fly60: Lol the drivers are back!!
Fly60 was muted for 7 minutes by Voltaire

Forum Moderator Syndrome

Forum Moderator Syndrome refers to the act in which a person (Most of the time a person without any social life, e.g. a loser) gets a tiny amount of power via online forums or other online spaces. Once they have been given this tiny amount of power they go crazy with it.

Remy suffers from Forum Moderator Syndrome, he was given Moderator role on a Discord server, and now he's gone mad with power.

glee forum

A forum for fans of the TV musical comedy Glee. Basically a place where gleeks complain about what/who they don't like on the show, and fight each other.

Gleek: Figgins is the worst character on Glee! Terri Schuester should be principal! I'm going onto glee forum right now to explain why...

public forum

I saw some other definitions about LD and policy, and they were old, so I made this so a newer debater can understand. I will assume you understand the rules and various jargon used obsessively throughout most of the debate community. Public forum, compared to other debate events, while not necessarily the best, should still be highly considered. Looking at other debate forms such at LD, policy, and congress, PF is the most fun. PF is like the "Goldilocks" event. LD is too boring (who would want to judge two roman-nosed high schoolers in suits talking about the values in life for and hour), policy requires too much time researching random and stupid arguments (penguins lead to nuclear war) or perfecting speaking speed, and congress is vague, lazy, difficult to become good at, and rounds are loud and you barely get to speak. Public forum also looks good on applications, teaches you to debate lay a lot better (which definitely helps you a lot more in later parts of your life), and is probably the most "easiest to learn, hardest to master" type of debate. Give it a try.

"I'll never quit public forum. Screw policy."
"Ugh...this congress round will never end."
"Who tf cares about principles and values in life?"
