Seriously, have you ever looked at reddit? It's a giant fuck up, the upvoting reguarly kills off any continual discussion and creates a stupid run to get the most internet points... Even people on reddit constantly complain and joke about it all the time. Sure there is an option to sort posts by date, but most people will always go with the standard settings. At least setting it to date as standard would at least slightly alleviate the issue. This is how you kill off a forum before it starts... Even if it's gonna be active, you'll have 90% shitposting.
