What's the purpose of this "public" forum?

    I'm sorry if this should be in Feedback but given the novel nature of this forum and that there's only one (active) thread here I'm taking my chances :D

    Right, I had a read of the debate forum a few months ago when Dev first mooted the idea of a big debate on Lisbon and I read through the previous debates to get a feel for what it'd be like. But what's this public bit forum for ?

    Are we just spectators here to comment on the debate and debators and their points or can we make suggestions, put forward topics or questions for the debators to answer and debate on ?

    Mostly the former, but Dav will be able to give a more precise answer :D

    All of the above really

    It is up to the debators if they read the public forum to see if they want to take and advice, questions or criticism onboard

    Some members of the public may come up with better arguements than the debators

    Also the judges might take public opinion on the debate into consideration when making their decision on the debate

    So this isn't a forum where people can just toss out a topic and debate/discuss it among ourselves?
