I've been wondering if users with higher posts/levels ever look down upon users with lower levels/posts. I'd like to here some opinions from veteran users especially... Personally I don't care about levels and post count. I don't judge users on that. (I'm actually a newbie myself.) But has anyone else noticed?

Out of 100 Level 4's, less than 10 usually make good posts. I base this on my experience. I don't specifically look down on low-level/low post users, I read posts. The myth that will be presented in this thread is that the ratio of good to bad users is equal as level/posts increase. That is simply not true. Moderation weeds out the poor users, so that only the good ones survive.

It's a relatively friendly community, and people are rarely openly hostile or dismissive. Can't imagine that post count or level affect most users' attitudes.

I look down on anyone who is less than level [whatever level I'm at right now, I forget]. And if you're higher than that, I still hate you for other reasons.

If there funny, I like them, if not, then I don't notice. Of course I don't think I'd classify myself as "veteran" yet, but not noob. Maybe intermediate.

It all depends on how you define veteran user... My level isn't low, however many have a much higher level. (if we go by what the tc said in his first post, level/posts) And being close to 30K posts isn't exactly few...

Most new users have a lot less quality posts and don't add much to the discussion. That said, I know there are a lot of newer users that have much better and more quality posts than me, so it depends on the user.

Generally, I don't mind new posters. But I do mind them in System Wars....mainly because the low-levels posters are the ones posting flame-bait threads, rehashing old, tired arguments.

IMO, there should be a minimum level you need to be before being allowed to post in SW.

Do new users still go through hazings and initiation? When I first joined, I was spanked with cricket bats and left naked in the woods, blindfolded and tied to a tree. Ahhh... good times... good times.

I sometimes do as i don't know them and they're personality. Sort of like how you're not a good friend of someone if you've only just met them or only talk to them once a year. Levels don't matter but a good amount of quality posts and maybe a good blog are needed for me to respect a user.

Not to me..don't see that at all, maybe if they don't supply a link to something or make a copy cat thread...I more notice that the newbies try to get everything modded because they don't like being argued with, I got the mod for "trolling" mentioning how wrong they are and how they act/post like 12 year olds while people were making the whole Palestine v Israel thread, I guess you can't mod ignorance and I guess terrible biased..ness in some of the posts. But anyways, I only see that if a "veteran" poster makes a copy cat thread or doesn't supply a link they are treated in a kind fashion compared to newbies.

If you're going by the TC's standards then yeah. But having lots of posts and a high level does not make one a veteran. They're sometimes indicators though.

Im suspicious of new users, because a lot of them might be ban dodgers. When A guy joins randomly and starts talking about events that took place 3 years ago, you gotta wonder. Lurking for 3 years without ever making a topic? :?
