I joined this message board because I had heard that there was a lot of really interesting, in-depth discussion about wrestling (rather than just a bunch of trolling like other boards). For the most part, it really has lived up to my expectations. The one area that really bothers me is the rep system.
The issue I take with it is that people leave negative rep for me not because my post wasn't well thought-out or rude, but because they simply didn't agree with what I wrote. What the fuck? I thought the whole point of message boards was to debate things. Disagreeing is supposed to be fun.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people on this board who drag it down by using the repping system against people who have differing opinions. I think that's a damn shame.
