Would society and culture users consider a debating website with a community forum a viable alternative for debating social issues?
@Zirp You set the time on the debates. You can set it for anything between 2 hours and 1 year.

maybe, depends on the rules and how it is moderated.
Your link leads to a site where "debates" have a limited time. I'm not interested in such sites. To me, *discussion* is about understanding eachother, and discussions last as long as they last - people bringing new arguments to the table.
in other words: a thread ends when nobody contributes to it anymore.
There's nothing wrong with people taking days to formulate a reply, or a discussion taking weeks
