What will be interesting is whether it changes the nature of the debates, in that there won't be a silent, and potentially undecided, majority looking on.
Or maybe it will just become Atheists' Corner, and occasionally people will drop by and poke us to see what happens... Out of interest, will threads discussed in the debating group still appear in the week's hot topics if they get that lively? Graham |

Thanks Alex! This sounds like a better compromise than the conservatory was.

I suppose this means the discussions will be hidden from Google also. Again, a bit sad but it will avoid drawing in trolls. |

That's probably a reasonable solution . . .
that might work up to a point!
Just don't expect it to work 100% of the time. The best books, of any type and genre, deal with ideas. Ideas are the core of what books are about. At some point, if you intend to discuss a book, you need to discuss the ideas behind it. My advice would be for the moderators to get together and decide, at least in a generic sense, at what point the dialog has passed the very fine and almost invisible line from a discussion about a book into something else. If you don't, your enforcement of this will be inconsistent to say the least. Your enforcement will be inconsistent anyway, it's impossible to police this sort of thing with absolute accuracy and fairness, but this will make you less inconsistent, and help the moderators feel better about the marginal situations. |

Seems with books any topic can come up since they can be on any topic, so nice that you did not ban the topics outright.
On the other hand, I do wish I could opt out of them in afk life. |

There never seems a moment in life when we're truly away from MobileRead. For instance, carrying around a mobile phone at all times leaves one vulnerable..
