you'll notice the OP doesn't mention removing rep anywhere and at no point has that been my primary suggestion nor was I the one that brought it up, yet it's still weird that the people who are the loudest about supposedly not caring about rep are the most upset about any change being made to it

People are the 'loudest' about it because if we start making changes to it under the guise of it being a serious issue, it starts to actually become one, when it's inherently not. People that complain about rep post terrible takes and then get upset and yell about "hiveminds" or whatever when it doesn't go their way. This is something we've seen frequently for ages. If you start making moves against something, it becomes a bigger deal. And suggestions here also just make it less fun, for the most par.t

let people just have their silly little internet point game its not that deep, the thicker skin argument usually sucks, but truly if a red tinge is enough for you to be "scared of posting your thoughts" or whatever, when it almost never bleeds out from the forums unless you yourself bring it up, then you should probably look into that.
