Again, thanks for the Input, we want to hear from all types of posters.
Have to respectfully disagree with you and agree with tempest929.
The rep system sucks, it does however force new people to this site to post stuff at the pics and vids section.
Other than that I don't see how the rep system has stopped trolling.
A few people have been banned but you don't need a rep system to regulate bad posting or trollers just active mods banning people within minutes.

Other than that this forum is still the best out there.

We also need more original opinion columns from MMA news members.
I think are are to many Copy&Paste columns from other sites.

The rep system hasn't eliminated all trolls but it has eliminated %75 of the trolls and spammers while the forum has continued to grow. You would be surprised at how many threads we used to delete that don't show up anymore.

I do agree though that we need more editorial style columns, both on the forum and on the main website.

Well on that there you need to speak with Matt Boone. We do have our interviews with fighters that Howie conducts though that are great for mmanews.com. As far as other news goes..... other MMA sites are better informed and quicker to post breaking news which is why a lot of us copy/paste them in the forums.

I just don't get how this post turned into some sort of fucking teary-eyed get-together of everyone who had ever made a dumbass comment and got put on notice. Is this everyone's first forum? If you get flamed and you feel like you have a point, flame back. It's not like the vets are kicking in your door and whipping your ass. Opinions here are strong. It's best that way. Now quit whining, defend your stance with facts, and move on. Jesus.

Plus, people copy and paste here because forums on other sites suck, and we a particular to the people in here. It is the simple fact I like talking to people here instead of asschodes from other sites. So the news is brought here where I can appreciate the conversations.

SEE! There's your problem right there. You're checking for Boo at ~11 AM. The pukes at work don't allow me to play on the forum.

Don I agree that people would be a lot happier if they weren't so easily offended.

However, in fairness, Howie did ask. This thread was SUPPOSED to be about why people were unhappy/leaving the forum. It doesn't seem fair to bitch when people are giving Howie what he asked for. You see what I mean?
