So I always noticed a problem with snobbery in this group...

[GreenKirby]

Yep, snottiness. And because I'm pointing this out, I can and will expect posts like this:

"Well what are you still doing here? If you don't like this place, then leave!"
"Hypocrite!"
"Can't handle that you're an idiot!"
"This is the Internet!"

Because as I noticed, and I do it as well, I've seen members who have high post counts belittle those who don't have post counts for whatever reason. It could have been that the newer members were unaware, or maybe they were misinformed, or maybe they wanted to leave a good impression.

But whatever the reason, sometimes they are flamed or belittled. Now obviously, I'm not talking about those who come here just to troll. I'm talking about good to honest members.

Heck, I remembered when I first posted a topic. I was flamed to Hell and back. Even now, when I'm basically wrong about ONE, just one situation, I'm seen as ignorant when they obviously don't know me. Hence forth, why I sometimes call this place 'Snobboards.' Childish, I know. But the flames do get annoying.

And again, I say, I do this kind of crap as well. So I'm gonna try to stop. It won't be easy, I'm naturally impaitent and sarcastic. Also, just because it's the Internet doesn't mean you're talking to bots. You're talking to other people who still have feelings. They might not kill themselves over it, but they will be upset.

My high post count on this internet message board makes me a superior human being to others without a large post count.

 

[DeadtoSin]

Well, I haven't really run into anything like that yet. I do agree with you though, people on message boards do get a big head at times when they are talking to a newer member. I've done it before, so thanks for your post!

 

[Aaryk]

I make fun of people who post ******** messages. However, I do not have a high post count. I really only post intelligently or when I see something that is too good to pass up.

I can't stand some people who think they own because they have over 2,000 posts. Especially when they post like a tard and can't even use grammar. (coughcoughBaileycough)

You pinpointed the issue here, the fact that people think the internet is completely impersonal and they can technically say what they want without risk of punishment.

 

[Livvers]

I haven't encountered anything of the sort, luckily. I have seen one person in particular who's kinda **** to people.

Of course, I rarely make topics on any forum I go to, so it helps. I've actually made some awesome friends through this board =)

 

[Crimson King]

This one guy here, Cashed, total ****. Seriously, I think he cries while playing Halo because he thinks he's so awesome. And he's like 14 forever. He probably sold his soul to the devil for youth. What a prick.

 

[Cashed]

yeah, what a ****. >:|

 

[Revolutions]

Only 1200 posts? You obviously haven't been around long enough to have a valid opinion. Maybe you should go post on a forum where they care about plebes like you.

Spoiler

you smell

 

[AltF4]

Well what are you still doing here? If you don't like this place, then leave!

 

[cF=)]

Ah... poor little thing and his e-ego.

 

[Weed]

This is the Internet!

 

[Kyari]

often times the join date is a major factor too








lol

 

[Kitten]

We will break you, you little 1,200 post *******. I'm gonna stick you in a cage and fill it full of rats until you snap and blame your small post counted lover for this rebellious topic posting.

But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won victory over himself. He loved Big Postcount.

 

[GreenKirby]

Gee, thanks for proving my point, guys. >_>

 

[Kitten]

While most of the people in this topic were joking, there are always going to be people who use the internet to make themselves feel big and powerful. There's not much anyone can do about it. Most people just ignore it.

 

[cF=)]

Are you seriously 21 and complaining about the internet?

 

[Yoshistar64]

Snobbery such as your example in the first post exists everywhere on the internet.

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Geet 0ff ma intrnetz!

 

[tmw_redcell]

I really haven't seen any of this post count elitism in over a year. I see plenty of complaining about it, though.

Don't spoil him. He hasn't made it to Part Three, yet.

 

[Mic_128]

I say, the common folk seem to not realise that they are but peasants. Maybe if you scrubbed yourself up, purchased some clothing not made from rats, you could be concidered middle lower class. *Chortle*


Oh the commoners never cease to entertain me.

 

[Tom]

Yeah, we have a problem with snobbery -- we don't like to see it.

I would really be interested in seeing the posts about which you're talking. I have seen this on smashboards before, but the only experiences have been few and far between, really. Every now and then I'll be pretty sarcastic in a topic that doesn't make any sense or is obviously factually incorrect, but other than that, nopes.

 

[Xsyven]

None of you deserve to post at my SmashBoards. >

This poser's join date says 2002 but he really only started posting around 2004. Get out of here.

I only posted about once a month before that. SO I STILL POSTED.

Fail smiley is fail D:<

I have a better join date and post count than both of you.

 

[Smash legacy]

yea, we suck on smashboards we are snobs. Snob or die

 

[Junpappy]

The snobberries taste like snobberries.

 

[Livvers]

Hm, I'm sorry for this joke guys...but....

Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

 

[GreenKirby]

Again, thanks for poving my point, guys. You guys are right. You deserve to be arrogant just because:

You're fan of a fighting game series
You're on a computer. So of course you're gonna have (Internet) bravery because few people have seen your face or names

 

[lime_backwards]

Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

"Bloody Peasant!"

It's the violence inherent in the system!

Yeah, I have seen some of this post count superiority, but mostly on other forums. It is pretty mild here compared to other places.

 

[WaterTails]

Big deal! Is it really that bad for people to have an ego? I'm sure you have an ego as well, but made this to call out the people who are superior to you. Also, do you not have any sense of sarcasm?

Go back to your 4-chan, gamefaqs, or your green-party meetings, you filthy liberal!

 

[Eor]

 

[Stompman]

Hm, I'm sorry for this joke guys...but....

Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

My lords we've found somebody with a really low post count may we burn them?

 

[antimatter]

if you touch even a hair on his head thou shalt be burned.

 

[GreenKirby]

If you read the first post in this topic, you would have known I have said that I do it as well. >_>

And just because one has an ego doesn't mean it needs to be over-inflated.

And yes, I do have a sense of sarcasm. But I didn't feel the need for people to be sarcastic in this topic.

 

[ThatGuy]

Well what are you still doing here? If you don't like this place, then leave! You're such a hypocrite! I guess you can't handle that you're an idiot! Besides, this is the Internet!

 

[Andromeda]

Yeah, I've seen a lot of people flaming here and there, not only on SWF, but on almost every place I visit. You really can't afford to do one thing wrong. But what is to be expected? After all, it's the internet, it really is.

 

[Osco316]

People are being sarcastic because they feel this is not as big a deal as you are making it out to be.

I'm right because I have over 5000 posts and I joined November 2001.

EDIT: And also because I am a "Super" Moderator

Clearly the sheer size of you genetalia crushes mine.

I am saddened.
