.....Taking the topic seriously...? Everyone in this topic is complaining about small green bars that do not mean anything whatsoever. Honestly, how is this supposed to be taken seriously!?
Really, those users who are taking this as though they are being personally attacked need to step back, calm down, and think about this. All that reputation means on this forum is what some random members think of your opinions. ...Actually, even that is being generous, as what it will really come down to is a handful of ignorant users spamming negative reputation because they cannot handle differing opinions. It does not mean that everyone in the world hates you. It does not even necessarily mean that a majority of users on this forum hate you. All it is, is some green bars sitting on your profile. Nothing more. It has no actual bearing on your lives, unless you allow it to. Who cares about some color on a profile on a Pokemon forum, honestly? It has nothing to do with making a living, it does nothing for getting a job or mortgage, and does nothing for holding together a family.
...Oh, and for the record: No, I would not be angry if one person with 1000 rep power decided to spam negative reputation at me simply for not agreeing with my thoughts. I do not care that much about some small images that mean nothing.
