It feels strange to have you, restricter of genres, telling others getting rid of things is a bad thing. May I ask why anyone should really care that there might be a shitfit on the site? We've forbidden entire subjects and changed the site's color scheme from red-orange to black and gotten very amusing whargarbl, yet we've gone on just fine. Of course, we shouldn't go out provoking backlash, but I don't recall ever seeing a good reason for why badges and leaderboards should stay.

As for the comparison, it's still a mighty silly example. At least on Trollpasta the whole site is basically geared to be frothing at the mouth retarded and the past behavior where pointsgaming was tolerated (if not outright encouraged) didn't help. It's only to be expected that any change from the bashed-in-the-head-style is to be resisted; you yourself have said so and given examples.

Is the lesson "CPW's userbase is so dumb that it will go apeshit over anything"? I don't think that's quite the message you want to send.
