While I do agree on the social harm of censorship, unfortunately your approach is susceptible to asymmetric info-attacks under adversarial conditions.
Specifically, under the condition where the debate actually matters, your compulsion can be exploited by putting out any number of variedly wrong ideas, for which you pay an asymmetrically higher cost to refute, and an opportunity cost of not being able to present ideas of your own.
The debate can this way be framed to either never reach "consensus", or to do so at the counterparty's favored position.
The widespread use of this strategy is a reason why society is falling back on censorship as opposed to reason.
