I'm going to be honest and give anyone reading this a heads-up: Much of what I'm about to say is going to sound quite harsh, there'd be no use in me trying to sugar-coat it, but I feel that what I want to say needs to be said.

...A hundred signatures? That's all this petition is aiming to achieve? What makes them think that a petition of of only a hundred signatures is going to be taken seriously by anyone, let alone Archie Comics? If we're talking about a petition that aimed for something like 50,000 signatures bare minimum, or, even better, somewhere within six digits, and if it manages to achieve either one of these goals then I'm sure people would be a bit more willing to take this petition more seriously, especially if it got over 100,000 signatures. But just 100 signatures is a complete and utter joke. And this petition was started a week ago, and only six people (as of me writing this comment) have signed it so far. Not only is the amount of signatures this thing is hoping to get an absolutely meaningless number, it's not even being noticed by virtually anyone so far, so it makes me wonder just how serious people are actually taking the issue the petition is trying to address.

All that's left that I can really say at this point is that whoever made this petition needs to try and shoot for a total number of signatures that's a great deal bigger than just one hundred, because I can assure you that such a low number is not going to be taken seriously by the vast majority of fans of the Archie comics, and to put more effort into spreading word about the existence of this petition, although I'd strongly recommend doing something about the number of required signatures first, and ASAP. I just want to make this clear, in case anyone thinks or tries to claim that I'm going out of my way to be cruel to the person(s) behind this petition, that I am merely trying to help by pointing out the problems this petition has, because I think that if these problems aren't addressed than this petition isn't going to get even so much as a second thought by most of anyone who happens upon it because, like me, they're going to see the same things I am seeing and think that it's just not worth their time to consider supporting this petition even if they cared about the issue this petition is trying to address. If the person(s) who made that petition is by chance reading this comment, then I just want to remind you that you are free to disregard what I am saying if you wish, but I think it'd be within your best interest to address the criticisms I've made towards your petition because I think that if you were to take what I am saying into consideration and take the few steps required to address my criticisms then it would improve the quality of your petition. I can't guarantee that if you do decide to listen to me that your petition will ultimately be successful, but at the very least it'd be less likely to be dismissed outright by the majority of people who'd see it, because again, even if word of your petition spread quite far, I doubt most people are going to take a petition that's asking for only a hundred signatures seriously.
