It's endured shitstorms before. I direct you the klub 17 purge.
That's cool but let's see if the staff wants another one on their hands. Would you call the next one the Rebellion Against MnF or the Battle Over Reputation?
You over-estimate the maturity of adults, some might say children and teens would oppose the anonymous reputation system even more so. The real point of the matter is, the reputation system is supposed to act as an indicator of inappropriacy or a lack of tact. People disagree on what constitutes those terms, and a lot of people happen to believe amongst some of the older members that the MnF crowd are annoying to the point of being practically intolerable. I personally don't have so much of an opinion one way or the other, I dislike people who don't even bother trying to spell or communicate like a functional adult human being, so that does get me a tad biased. (though I can understand if English is your second language, which in most cases it sadly isn't).
Well after a week, the " ... " neg reps are back
Yeah you have a good point though, some adults still have the mindset of children even after reaching age 18. In regards to American citizens, I myself believe that most people don't really reach true maturity until at least age 25, the average 4 years of college means you're still participating in school, some might say that it's the rite of passage to becoming an adult but you can still be roped into doing childish things under peer pressure. At age 21, you're age appropriate to start drinking alcohol and that can make you do even more childish things, all the while celebrating your youth in some of the most inappropriate ways. I know some people will still act like children in some way until the day they die but the important thing is that you need to start being a responsible adult before things get too complicated.
There are various reasons why I've let myself keep taking the bait thus far, but you have to come to understand that even if I didn't respond to all this, it wouldn't help the situation plaguing users who themselves keep taking the bait right now and it would keep happening until Aika eventually removes that section or do something about the rep system. I'm prepared to have my rep bar sent to the reds otherwise I wouldn't even be responding here anymore if I was "THAT" worried about mine but the problem is how other users are going to behave under the pressure, truth be told some of the users here are also part of my forum and all this abuse is messing with their heads a little.
Even if it DID matter, shitting up this thread is not constructive, it just shits up the thread which is for posting amusing, angering or bemusing reps, not for merely complaining about reputation in general. A constructive course of action would be talking about it in a proper section or privately contacting an administrator.
If going offtopic was the issues here, Nunu or Toxic should have deleted or moved all these comments a long time ago and I doubt Aika really wants to get involved in all this as hinted by the other users. Anyways I can see that everyone here is starting to get annoyed and pissed off at me now not to mention I'm getting bored at this myself so I'm going to give up on trying to reason for now. Gonna go focus on playing Ass Creed Black Flag and maybe participate in the #GG discussions regarding Intel choosing to rely on tokenism.

Not every offtopic discussion gets ended, only if it gets way out of hand. It hadn't gotten to that point yet, but he's right, this isn't the right topic for complaining about rep in general, because there isn't really a topic for that since about a year or two ago.

He doesn't like you associating with me because it's interfering with his goal of pushing me to the reds. You don't have to keep repping me and risk your own rep in the process, just let him do what he wants so he can get bored and move on
