Why are people so soooooooooooooft on gr? You say something like "you suck" or "your gay" and they start crying like little babies... Goddammit, its the ------ing internet, grow up
Nah.. i think it applies to everyone.... If it didn't.. why would there be a "Rep Abuse" section... do people really care that much about what people think of them on the INTERNET???
Because to some people, rep means popularity. They think it makes them smart, and it's a huge goal that means they have really accomplished something important, and now they're awesome for it. That's one main reason there is rep abuse. The only way to really stop it the most is to reset it regularly, say, once a year. Maybe more. Then the true rep whores will be quickly picked out and reset. And sure it's the internet, but just like in real life, people still take offense to being told they "suck", or are "gay". Say you work hard on making a sig, and you think it's good. You post it here, and someone says it sucks. Of course you would take offense and feel bad. Some more than others, obviously.
