Abandon the project and open a new account because one negative rep that was given to me unreasonably and a couple of people that are upset? Sure sounds a bit drama queen like.
That's not the point. Currently, you're not getting any traffic, you're not getting any investors, and since you haven't put up a bankroll no one is playing. The few negative reps you got are not unreasonable. You just have to read what they are saying and you should get it.
It makes perfect sense to just abandon the current project, consider it the cost of tuition or a cost of doing business.
You could try to make it work, but I just think that's a waste of time for you.
