In my opinion, there shouldn't be dating here because this really is a kids game and it's weird to have dating involved in it.
But it can't really be removed because there's Emperor, Empress, King and Queen of islands, etc.

Can we stop pretending a significant portion of the userbase isn't teenagers? It's not 2014 anymore.

Majority of this community are at least teenagers, regardless, how would you even ban dating? Ban everyone who dates someone from here? That would cause pure chaos and pretty much the entire site would be banned for having a relationship at some point.

No, I don't think it should be removed. Dating is not really a big deal, most people here are not children anymore and people have conscience about their relationships. Plus, this might even make things worse through a curious phenomenon that we call "streisand effect":
That is the "Streisand effect": it happens when the attempt to censor, hide or repress something ends up promoting it even more unintentionally. This means that children could start dating online more often just because "it's cool" or because it "breaks the rules".

How long is it going to take before lawyers realize that the simple act of trying to repress something they don't like online is likely to make it so that something that most people would never, ever see is now seen by many more people? Let's call it the Streisand Effec
