Honestly I think Biting would cause a lot of stress on the forums.

This.
But it seems a bit unfair in a way. Mods were able to see if people were trolls or being too immature with the bite function, but people were abusing it and probably had to go.

But that's not the reason it had to go. there actually weren't any issues with abusing it, it's just that people complained about the fact it was possible for people to abuse it.

I love the new name of the 'karma' meter, and I like the fact that the 'bite' function was taken away. This way, it's a lot less serious (and much more cute! :3 ) and even if nobody abused the bite function in the first place, now nobody will get the chance to.

Ah, I understand. People can abuse it.

It would have been hard to abuse it anyway. You can only bite once per 24 hours, AND if you make a new account you HAVE to reach a certain amount of posts before you can actually use the karma, well, floof now, so using multiple accounts to attack someones karma is a hard thing to do.

Nevermind just saw the post and derp it would have if they ahd already had multiple accounts and such. that already had the required amounts of posts to use what we call floof now. so derp it woud have been easy to abuse it red cause majority of users already have multi accounts.

Yeah, at first I thought the Floof-O-Meter was bad and I was like "D: But I never do anything bad! I might've broken the rules on accident but I try as hard as I can to follow them!" But now I know :3 Thanks.

But how many of them go around using multiple accounts to hold conversations in the parts of FH that actually counts towards your post count? Not many. I have one or two, but that is because one was broken, so ever since I have had it I have been unable to use it (and it annoyingly enough has the same in game name and forum name, so I do have issues with PMing it instead of me) And the other I made for the fun of it, and never really used. I wouldn't log into one, log out, and into another, just to hold conversations. It would take a very dedicated person to do that, and if they were so into it, so into biting and attacking another, they would more than likely be caught.

Biting is stupid O.o What do the Floofs/Karmas matter? Sure, they show that you're helpful and all, but it's not like you lose 100 dollars when someone bites you, and get 100 when someone nuzzles you.
