Not even just getting rid of it, they're retroactively removing all awards already given to posts
WTF? Like, I never bothered with the things, but why would they go to the trouble of stripping them out? Somethings weird about that.
Sounds like they’re just ripping the code out entirely. It’s absolutely insane. At the very least leaving them on old posts should be the minimum.
