I would like to suggest a chat for the purpose of holding debates, be they political, scientific, religious, philosophical, etc. I feel xat is lacking a place to have mature debates, as most chats consider those topics a huge source of drama.
I realize these topics are hugely controversial. Believe me, I've been on the receiving end of a cat fight between creationists and and atheists. However, I think a lot of good can come out of this type of chat. People need a place to fully express their beliefs and look for mature arguments.
I've spoken with Seyon, a good friend of mine and staff on a few different official chats. He'd be willing to help run the chat. I myself am Main Owner of Freewebs and Contests and have been a part of xat since 2011 or so. I do have extensive experience. If not Seyon, I would gladly work alongside a volunteer.
As I said, I realize these topics are quite controversial. The chat would be for /mature/ debates about these topics. Mindless flaming will not be tolerated and would result in a swift and hefty ban. This is not a free-for-all.
Overall, I feel that this chat would be beneficial. It would educate users about opposing viewpoints and spark interest in different topics among the community. Please consider my proposal. I can almost guarantee this chat would be a success.

I believe many xat official chats are not active lately because they do not hold the character to hold xaters' interest. Over the past few years, xat's has been growing in its mature audience. I believe having a debate chat has the opportunity to provide a mature audience the opportunity to discuss topics in a controlled environment. I personally love discussing controversial topics because it helps educate myself and others. Providing a chatroom that is directed towards others with the same interest would be a great opportunity for the community and xat.
