Welcome to the @nobox debate ground on Steemit. This initiative represents a joint effort by @kyriacos and @elemenya.
Our objective
Our purpose is to give voice to all Steemians to express their opinions about a variety of topics. Whether it is about politics, economics, religion, health, education, etc, there has always been controversy around important subjects. This means that each person interprets facts using different thought processes and that leads him or her to a different conclusion than the rest.
Why debate?
Constructive debate is the only way to come in contact with a different point of view and consider options that one might not have considered before. Furthermore, reading other people’s views helps to recognize any flaws in one’s own thought process and try to correct them. And lastly, through a collective exchange off opinions, people of Steemit can learn to communicate and accept the unique perspective of each person and where they come from.
How will it work?
In each post we will try to represent a topic for which there is controversy or a variety of opinions to be heard. This can be in the form of a statement, a yes-or-no question, or an open question. People can respond in the comments whether they agree with the statement, or a brief response to the question.
Rewards
Apart from the intellectual rewards, commenters will have the opportunity to gain steem dollars. For each post, one commenter will receive 25% of the Steem dollars the post generates. The winner will be selected by @kyriacos and @elemenya, and will be a selection for whoever creates the most genuine engagement and/or the most thoughtful comment. If bot activity is suspected, then the commenter will be excluded from the evaluation.

@mjaouich
lets start of with this!!

Welcome to Steem :)
I agree that a more open, debate forum here is needed.
While I have my own ideas and beliefs, I love hearing from others! It lets me grow intellectually and as a person. I want to understand how we differ, how we agree and how we've each arrived at our own endpoints.
Exactly. Wise people are the ones who are willing to listen to the other side, analyze their arguments, and reconsider their viewpoint if necessary.
What a great idea, there are many knowledgeable people on Steemit, everyone has a point of view and a great way to share those point of views to understand opions and where others may learn different ways to look at different situations.
Exactly. It will be a space for discussion and reflection!
That's really an amazing initiative. Frankly speaking we really do need it here. But all I fear is downvotes. How will u make sure that ppl don't get downvoted, just because his opinions don't match to someone else.... I have followed your account. Let's see what kind of discussions come up. Between I was thinking that maybe instead of providing 25% rewards to 1 commenter, I think it might be more effective and beneficial, if u share that 25% with various good commenters.
Thank you for your ideas. We will start as planned and then see how things go. We don't encourage flagging, since everyone is entitled to free speech (apart from heavy spamming). The point is to offer counterarguments, not censorship. We believe the reward price is a good motivation, but again, we do need to see how things will evolve.
Finally I have a place to show off my debating skills. Lol
The @nobox initiative is one that has been long overdue. Kudos to @kyriacos and @elemenya.
I have had some experiences with @kyriacos he does not mince words always says his mind whether you like it or not and I always admmired him for that.
Following and Upvoted.
@ogochukwu
Thank you @ogochukwu. We hope you participate and show off your skills ;) Honesty is the way to go!
this is a brilliant idea! It is time an online platform for genuine debate is formed. Fake news and nuisance blogs create so much clutter in the internet. Let's jut make sure there are moderators committed to making the debate truthful, on point, and orderly. Followed!
Thank you. We are two authors/ moderators for now. If the project goes well, we might need more. The point is not to censor but let everyone have their say freely.
I support this idea and service, @nobox I hope to see and interact with you when appropriate and within debates or during controversial topics :)
Great idea also hope to see this soon
Hey @nobox! Welcome to the platform :]
Thank you!
This is really nice idea. However, I am not sure if I can understand. So if there is debate in comments, you are posting own comment with questionnaire? Can't wait to see how it grow. Good luck!
We will be posting a question, or a statement, and people will reply in the comments whether they agree or disagree, and why. Thanks!
Oh, that's nice! Can't wait :)
Great idea
welcome steemit :):)
Thanks :)
That's an interesting idea and a really cool, appropriate, name! (Big fan of the trivium here!)
thanks man!
Welcome to Steemit! It's good time to start create Steemit better :)
Thanks :)
well I'm not old on steemit but I've already noticed that dobroman is a bot ... :)
Nice idea. Great to see Steemit being developed into a constructive environment. I look forward to debating with this. Exciting.
Followed and upvoted.
Cheers,
buckydurddle
Thank you. We also look forward to engaging people and hearing opinions!
I for one think this is a fantastic idea. Perhaps I'll throw my hat in the ring on occasion.
Just to throw it out there, I really like the name. As far as I am concerned, I have no conflict with mine. I hope this isn't the first debate held on this forum -LOL
Lol, honest mistake man. We sincerely didn't know you existed! Thank you, and we hope you participate sometimes!
No worries, sincerely, no worries.
I've watched steemit from July of last year and only created an account last month,... I am just not a 'blogger,' but I do intend to give it a go,.... soon.
I've watched steemit go from an very 'free thinking' environment to one very much controlled by, let's say political correctness. I hope your initiative helps provide some much more needed free expression.
Welcome and yeah, why not give it a go? :) Free expression and political correctness will be one of our post topics. I'm interested to see what people have to say about this!
good job...
upvoted and followed...!!!

Whuddup! I noticed that you joined recently so welcome to steemit. Have an upvote and I hope you will some day do the same!
When having a new account it can be hard to recieve many upvotes so maybe you want to try Steemfollower where you can earn up to 5x more steem than just upvoting by yourself! It's a simple and safe vote exchange that is free to use. I also recently made this post explaining that in more depth and it has become my most upvoted post yet.
Sounds like a good concept. Following so I can see how this pans out!
Thanks. We hope you take part as well! :)

Its a great idea for such platform. I hope it goes well and let the genuine writers rewarded. In my opinion "Steemit begins where all social networking sites including Quora ends."
