Alright so I'm sure you've all seen the Labelmaker Gaia has implemented.
This petition is to get them to remove the new labeling system.
This feature really doesn't make a lot of sense...
Admins can warn you for "harassment" if you call someone an "idiot" in the forums,
yet they give us this to play with where you can call others "skanks".
That's so hypocritical.
Why would you want to insult your friends to begin with?
Even if it is for "fun"...I don't see very much pleasure in it.
What was Gaia thinking when they released this?!
Also, the advertisements for the LM are way out of line.
They're huge! Just look at the one that's been slapped onto our avatar equip page!
It also doesn't help that we have no choice on the recieving end of the labelmaker .. and we want a choice
The best solution is for Gaia to simply remove the Labelmaker before anything really bad happens.

I logged on one day to about 30 new PMs. I had just been on yesterday, so I was pretty confused as to why I had so many new ones. Well, I had about 4 new PMs, and 26 labels, that pretty much all said 'skank'.
Even if you mean the labels as a joke, you could push a wrong button with one of your friends and really hurt their feelings. Labels are never a good idea, even in the virtual world!.

Did we really need this feature?
I see it everytime on my avatar customizer page now and frankly, it just pisses me off. It throws off my concentration like a orange blinking taskbar at the bottom of my screen...
Really Gaia, this is the most useless feature to date.
You promote being kind to others amongst conversations and threads, but it's okay to have the word skank labeled on an avatar.
You don't need to be a goody two shoes Gaia but for ******** sake, quit be so god damned... Idiotic.

The labelmaker was the whole reason I got adblocker, JUST to block out those ads.
I'm not sure what Gaia was thinking. It's pretty stupid and BORING. I mean, you label your friends once, and then...you're done. You're bored. The end.

[regarding the advertisements]
They're huge, obtrusive, and irritating. If your mouse or stylus slips a little while you're equipping your avatar, suddenly you're redirected somewhere else or your avatar is saved as is. It's a rude and thoughtless gesture to include such large ads even in our equip pages. It's like they're trying to bombard us with as much spam as possible from as many venues as possible. I'm hating on Gaia right now
