Our life counter is getting some hate because we use 'Sir' as default. What do you think? I'm especially interested if our female users feel 'blatantly excluded from iMtG'.

Sir can be used for either sex
Easiest solution: Don't listen to Reddit because they are easily the shittiest userbase on the face of the Earth.
Pro tip: Don't bother with trying to express your opinion, lest it get downboated into oblivion because they don't agree with it.
I .loving. hate Reddit.
I know we have more female members than the one creating this problem. Have they complained about it before?
This appears to have resolved itself already. The OP is losing ground fast and worst case senerio people are downloading your app just to check it out. This falls under the idea of no publicity is bad publicity. It might not always be true but it seems good in this case.
Also the whole womens rights issue has been beaten to death by americans, now days you can say you got a package in the the mail (male) and have a lady go ape@&$? on you for being a woman-degrading pig and the root of all evil. It's extreme but the law and society in general don't let you argue with it, you have to accept you're wrong like a waiter who can't keep a water full because the kid dumps it on the floor when you turn around.
Now it's such an ignitable issue that the internet can run wild with it on a person's whim. For this reason I caution all of you to think carefully on any responses to hot issues and read your own words as though you wanted to get offended. Some careful consideration on communication can save us all a great deal of drama.

Lol that really helps. I'm not really familiar with Reddit, thanks! They use karma in a different way, but it has its merits. Plenty of negatives makes for less drama, people are more used to it? If we implement karma counter per post, it will be the same, no? I think what really makes the difference is our law ;)

Not to my knowledge. I said before that I do not lie for practical reasons of having bad memory, so I could have forgotten. I'm pretty sure I remember correctly and this is the first complaint.

That's what I figured. My sister uses the life counter on iMtG and she has no problem with it.
It's not a big deal! Wjy did she do that? Just... *soghs* some people...
Is it possible the user complaining is someone on the app that got banned or something and created this as a form of payback?

Even I have a problem with it: cannot set bloody Decks for the players (on my TODO) ;)

Unlikely, we banned really few people.
It just seems so unreasonable. It's all so dramatic and overplayed. It seems staged to me
