In effect, you are seeking ecumenicism.

How so?

In the "open" town square format - the "anti" position has an equal voice to the "pro" position. And the language, communication or graphics skills (or lack thereof) of the poster has no bearing. Each speaker has a voice as long as they are discussing the issues and not making it personal.

In an "ecumenic" format - "anti" positions are not allowed, only "pro" and perhaps an occasional contrast. Poor language, communications or graphics skills do have a bearing - as the level of discourse must be higher. Not every speaker has a voice.
