**Moderating:**

This really was too much and too wide ranging.

> **Type of threads appropriate for Great Debates and Elections**
> 
> \*\*Keep threads specific and debatable. \*\* No wide omnibus threads. We want to see clear, specific topics and thread titles. Large omnibus threads are actively detrimental to the long-term success of the boards. A thread entitled, “Tax Policy” is too broad. One entitled, “Should a National Sales Tax be enacted” is better. Keep it clear and specific. This also requires participants in the thread to remain on specific topics as well.
