The Dork Disc, or Dust Shield that is equipped on new bikes offers a bit of protection should the chain dislodge from the gearing. It keeps the chain from going into the spokes, but most people remove it. If you keep one on a bike and ride trails regularly, odds are you will be ridiculed. I've seen them removed due to peer pressure with the rider not really knowing what they were doing.

So tell me... Have you removed your Dork Disc? If so, why did you remove it. Be honest and tell if it was just for cosmetics, or if you wanted to shed weight. If you did remove it to shed weight, did you also add chainstay protection? No judgement. I want to know what the mindset is of the average rider when it comes to this small piece of plastic.
