MORE POSTS = MORE RESPECT?, what do you think? Options

[mocassinsx29]

Wellll, me and my friend were just wondering this because once I went into this room and this Newbie double posted and everyone was like screaming [well, maybe not screaming... just saying in a mean way] at the poor guy ["Ugh, don't double next time. "] but then I went into another room and this guy with like 2,000 posts triple-posted but no one said a thing. Be honest!!!

[snak3y3z1001]

no. its the quality of their post, not quantity. I can spam this board to death but doubt everyone will respect me ;)

[dani41790]

Hmm I think that happens because some people aren't to fond of newbies. Uh idk.

[iheartsimba]

I know what you mean...sometimes these "n00bs" deserve some slack sometimes..idk, I try to be nice about it. But about more posts more respect--no way. Some of the people with the most posts are the least respected on here. Just because some of the posts they make are incredibly pointless and spamming.

[Nicolatofu]

As you accumulate more posts, you gain more respect from teh members. If you're a newbie that double posts, no one knows... you could've signed up strictly for spamming. So as you become more well known through your posts, you gain a certain reputation (whether it be good or bad).

[Eryi]

Well I always spot them and when I do I just automatically tell them not to do it again.

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

The person with the 10,000 posts obviously knows what going on, if not knows more about cb than the noob.

[tooeffingcrazy]

Hmm... i'm not too sure about the more post=more respect thing. It just mean that you have been really active, but it doesn't mean that people will like/respect you. Probably, the members are somewhat "scared" to tell the popular people on CB not to spam. Eh, that's just what i think.

[*jooleeah*]

I completely agree with you, Nicole.

[FoOd]

ehhh, the only reason a person that triple posted and didn't get yelled at is probably:

A) He is not a newbie (And most people don't like newbies that much)
B) Has a good quality of a post (thought may not be a good reason)
C) Or the person's computer lags, alot, and the person may have to press the 'Add Reply' two or three times to work.

Those are all my reasons.

[eli5e]

ummm it depends.. i dont know.

[shortiiex]

cause teh more posts you have peopele get to know you better and they become your friend so you don't really want to yell at them

[*tweeak*]

the only member with over 10000 posts (i think) is susan, and she definitely isnt respected. but maybe for the most part. youre just more known if you post more. for example, i was most well known and liked during my post whore period, but then attention always shifts to the new post whores like james. this is to be expected. theyre also more respected the older they are. which, of course, may also be because they were actually cool and deserved it, but still. thus, this leaves me in the middle, as deserving a bit of respect for being a mod with 7000something posts and a middling old join date, but not as much as others, because im not the cool kid of the moment or a really old member

meh, i really dont know what im talking about.

[*jooleeah*]

^
Honestly, I don't think Susan spams that much anymore. The only time she went on a posting-spree was a longgg time ago. I don't see why people think she's sucha spammer nowadays.

[*tweeak*]

oh, i dont think she is now- she doesnt actually post that much lately, but my point was that her posts arent respected. theyre tainted and fowl (cah)

[*jooleeah*]

^
Oh. But but but...I like Susan. She's nice. Meh, I get you're point though.

[soulless727]

purple ponies (self-deleted 12/06)

[hiromi]

well, from what I've seen in a few forums i'm in, that happens way too much. The person who has the most or 2nd most posts get the most attention, and are always excused from spamming, which is most of the time. It really pisses me off at times, but heh, I gotta live with it.
As for cB, it doesn't really happen... or at least, from what I know of

[freeflow]

As you accumulate more posts, you gain more respect from teh members. If you're a newbie that double posts, no one knows... you could've signed up strictly for spamming. So as you become more well known through your posts, you gain a certain reputation (whether it be good or bad).

i agree.

[lovescream]

If you compare it to 3 posts, no. unless it's like some person who has been on cb forever and just made a new account and made 3 posts on it, that's another story.
But I'd compare it to like 200 to 5,000. I'd respect whichever one is my friend.. nicer.. funnier and doesn't spam as much. :P

[IamRad]

As you accumulate more posts, you gain more respect from teh members. If you're a newbie that double posts, no one knows... you could've signed up strictly for spamming. So as you become more well known through your posts, you gain a certain reputation (whether it be good or bad).

i agree. I mean what is the point in double posting, if there is an edit button? if u do it on purpose, thats just stupid...

[juliar]

maybe a little. if all the posts that they make are good, then obviously i'm going to respect them a little more. because it shows they're mature enough to be able to handle posting faithfully and well.

[*suddenly she*]

i still believe i'm relatively new to this site, and i know that when i first got here, i thought that anyone with 500+ posts knew the site front and back. now that i've been here for .. maybe 2 months and accumulated more than 200 posts, the "wow" reaction kinda died.

and now, my respect level for a person depends on how much effort they put into their posts to make it easy for the reader to digest (that sounds weird) and if their point is logical or not.

[cupidpearl]

more post= senior
senior=respect
more post=respect

[aera]

it depends. some people have a lot of posts that arent very helpful at all and are inappropriate. others have a lot of posts that relate to the topic. also, the more post you have, the more people will know you. so yes it does, a little.

[Im So Vain]

no not really. if they're posts are legit then maybe, like if they answer a lot of questions and help ppl then Ill respect them.

[Just_Dream]

I say No because there are members here that haven't even reached 1000 posts and I respect them. Agreed, the quality of their posts are significant. I've seen some who spam a lot or just post for the sake of posting--and those people are not really ones that I'll respect.

What I DON'T like is when people treat me as if I'm different and act as if I'm too elite to talk to those that aren't--that's NOT who I am.. or would treat me better than someone else. :sweating: I'm just the same as everyone else, despite certain privileges I have and my post count. Nothing less, nothing more.

[crazeegirl411]

Well...look at susan (angel_r0h). I don't think she's too respected around here...

[sadolakced acid]

the more you post, the more people know you, the more they respect you if your posts are good.

[Spirited Away]

There may be quite a number of people who thinks more posts=more respect worthy. This is silly, but it's also because the person who thinks this way wants to fit in. I would say to these people, if you want to fit in, follow the community guidelines as well as tips and hints on how to post.

Normally, if a newbie double post, he/she is violating two rules. Number one is double posting and number two, most likely, spamming. Again, this is a general observation.

[brand0n]

mmmmmmmm i sed yes

[gelionie]

no. its the quality of their post, not quantity. I can spam this board to death but doubt everyone will respect me ;)

I agree with that.
I'll respect a relatively new member who doesn't spam and has interesting posts.

On the other hand, there are quite a number of people who have more posts than I do but do not really gain too much respect from other members.

[toodlepops.]

Yeah, I see that going on sometimes.
But I try to act fair on both.
But you can't deny that the dude with 10, 000 posts knows cb better than the noob.

[*Weird addiction*]

No, not at all. I mean, if you have 100000000 posts and you suck, i'm not going to respect you. If you post important things then why the hell not!

[jr0h]

i think i understand what you mean.

but yeah sometimes i get annoyed by those kind of posters but it doesnt bother me that much.

mistakes happens.. but if it's too much then that's just too much.

[WhiteLotus*]

I have high respect for some members who have high post count ( such as Brie, Kathleen, Christina, etc.), but that's because I know they put thought into their posts. It's quality over quantity really. I won't respect a noob with 647328945647 posts that are all spam, y'know? And I respect some of the newbies because the actually think before they post.

So really it depends.

[xenosaga]

^ i agree with you. its just sometimes the newbies probably didnt read the guidelines and didn't pay attention to the rules. sometimes even the people with alot of posts still spam the topic.

[JlIaTMK]

This is for the most part, true. That is because these... members, most of the time, tend to be more familiar with the other, more familar members. It just builds up from there. =)

[*liquidize*]

just look at the respect everyone has for me. ;)

[JlIaTMK]

Lmao, cocky edwardo =)

[ItzOnlySydney]

no. its the quality of their post, not quantity.

exactly =)

[jaeman]

We hate their guts until they unnewbie themselves.

Just kidding, or who knows.

[glit_gal]

More posts don't exactly mean more respect, I think they just mean your more recognized and known compared to someone who just started.

[whomps]

Nope..I don't think so, at least. Look at Susan, she has more posts than anyone, but do people give her respect? I didn't think so.

[*mona lisa*]

Not really. A newbie who is respectful, reads and follows all the rules, is helpful, but only has lets say 200 posts will be way more respected than someone who is rude, spams, doesn't follow the rules and has 9000 posts. If you think having more posts gives you more respect, then that is sad. I can name a few off the top of my head people who have thousands of posts and are spammers and unhelpful.

[Lightner]

well if a person with over 1,000 posts double posts, if i see them i will say "Make sure u dont double post next time" because they know the rules obviously for how long they have been at createblog! they haveno excuses. But if a noob messes up on accident i will just pm them saying "Hey uhh... u might wanna watch how many times u post in a topic. next time try the edit button ^_^." i guess i am sterotyping a little but its the truth and my look at it

[*basick*]

quality > quantity

[me1issaaaa]

quality > quantity

Yup.
Who cares if you have 1,000 posts. That's what annoys me - like, in people's sigs, they write the time or date or even the thread of their 1,000 post. Who cares? It's what you SAY in the post that matters. It's what shows you're the person you are, what you have to say. It shows whether you're intelligent and able to hold a conversation (or topic idea), or if you're just a complete dumbf**k.

That didn't even really make sense, but you probably get the general idea, right?

Granted, the more posts you have, the more people will recognize you, but still. That doesn't mean everything.

[heyyfrankie]

Wellll, me and my friend were just wondering this because once I went into this room and this Newbie double posted and everyone was like screaming [well, maybe not screaming... just saying in a mean way] at the poor guy ["Ugh, don't double next time.  "] but then I went into another room and this guy with like 2,000 posts triple-posted but no one said a thing.  Be honest!!!

that could of been a coincidence or something like that but no matter how many posts you have, you are not supposed to doubt/triple/quadruple post. and yes, people with more posts probably get more respect than people with like 3 posts because it (most of the time) shows that they have been here longer. :\

[xj_liana_tx]

for most people yes, but if you spam a lot or is a very abominable person (like the old me), people still don't respect you.

[Paradox of Life]

I'd have to say yes. Although I'm not saying that quantity beats quality, I'm saying that people who have more posts tend to have more experience. Even though "message board experience" isn't always accurate, I'd say they know the rules like not to double post and stuff like that. And normally, you don't see someone with like 3000 posts talking like, "omg u r so dumb!!111!1 ahhahhahaa" And the mods have a lot of posts too. So yeah. I personally respect people more if they have more posts.

[jnukes]

i think " yes " .. but leaning toward a lil of " maybe " ..

most posts = most likely people are gonna be able to know you ..

but , i know what you mean about that double posting thing .. i see it A LOT ..

but depending on tha quality of tha post . that one guy .. umm .. BrandonSaunders .. i think ? .. i think he only has like .. 400 posts .. and i've already gott respect for him ..

[Teesa]

Yeah, I think it depends. If I see someone with a low amount of posts, but their posts have something meaningful or helpful then they will get my respect. But if I see them spamming and quadruple posting and they have like no posts I will be mad =]

[aznxdreamer]

the reason why people with more posts get mreo respect is because we knwo them better and we know that they know what the rules are. whereas. and newbies piss us off because they are known for being ignorant so they piss us off alot.

[sheepy]

i actually agree with you. i guess most ppl like superior to the noobs.

[miss barnes]

yea kinda in a way but, i dont bash anybody

[angelrevelation]

i think it depends... if they apologize for triple posting or something (and they don't do it over and over) i'm fine with it. and i usually never check how many posts someone has anyway

[loljuliana]

it's not the quantity; it's the quality

[*Azarel*]

So many people have repeated that it's about quality, not quantity, but it's not even so much quality as it is presence. You want to be respected? You need to act like you deserve it before people give it to you.

[emazing]

Erm, maybe a bit. But you know, I treat members all the same. I don't like it much when people treat newbies different; they're new to the site. They need to learn.

[BELLA_RAGAZZA]

i think that the more you post, the more the other people will get to know you and respect you. when your a new person, they don't know you or how you act & reply to things..

but i do feel bad for the new people that post & get bashed for accidently double posting because their new & don't know how things work.

[*mona lisa*]

EVERYBODY HAS TO LEARN SOMEHOW

DAMN

"newbies piss u off"

WTF DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING TO XPERIENCED MEMBERS WHEN YOU FIRST JOINED? YOU CAN'T HATE ON SOMEONE FOR BEING NEW TO SOMETHING. I BET IF YOU  TRIED FIGURE SKATING FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU WOULDN'T BE THAT GOOD AT IT..AND YOU WOULD PISS SOME PEOPLE OFF W/ YOUR "IGNORANCE" . WHEN YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO DO SOMETHING..YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO DO SOMETHING!

Sheesh. Don't have a cow. No need to be rude about it.

huh.gif but i do feel bad for the new people that post & get bashed for accidently double posting because their new & don't know how things work.

That is true. I do feel bad as well, but it's their fault for not reading the rules. The first thing you should do when you're new here is to read te rules first. Don't you do that when learning something new, whether it is for math or building something (in that case it would be instructions, but same thing)?

[JlIaTMK]

So many people have repeated that it's about quality, not quantity, but it's not even so much quality as it is presence. You want to be respected? You need to act like you deserve it before people give it to you.

Amen. I would have to agree with Anna on this.

[mocassinsx29]

Hehe... once I double-posted when I first started and then someone told me to use the "Edit" button and all day I was wondering where the heck it was. When I finally saw it, I was like: "o_o. DAMN."

[Levy2k6]

it really depends.. because when i came her.. i could be consired and i even post whored back then but i had some forum experience from being on other boards before and stuff..

but the longer and more posts u have, the more experience u have and thats better.. u generally have interesting posts the longer u been on a forum.

[sandy_lumpy_shor...]

this Newbie double posted and everyone was like screaming [well, maybe not screaming... just saying in a mean way] at the poor guy ["Ugh, don't double next time.  "] but then I went into another room and this guy with like 2,000 posts triple-posted but no one said a thing.  Be honest!!!

well sometimes cb screws up and it posts the same thing liek a million time. was the mewbies post both diferent cuz then thats spam and was the 2000 post diferent, cuz it could just be cB screwed up

[Jus2s1mp13]

I dont think more post going to do anything with respect. Respect is all about following the rule. And respecting others.

[ikayto]

Ehhh, i agree with some of the people up there, it's just the quality of the post. I dont give a crap how many posts you have, if you're a d**k, you're a d**k.

I dont hold ppl with high post count with a high regard, it's ilke w.e; high post count doesnt = l337ness ;p

[misoshiru]

As you accumulate more posts, you gain more respect from teh members. If you're a newbie that double posts, no one knows... you could've signed up strictly for spamming. So as you become more well known through your posts, you gain a certain reputation (whether it be good or bad).

i agree with nicole. then again, if all your posts are spam, no matter how many posts you have, people will still yell at you.

[Angel_Cece]

no noy at all.... i treat people with equal respect. if there wasnt any indication for the number of posts, then i bet people wouldnt be going "what a newbie," or "wow...10,000 post"

[emazing]

hi does anyone know how to place an image map picture as a background and then place a div on top of the picture so the image mapping still works?

Hm. People do learn a lot from being on Createblog for quite some time.

And your welcome brownsugar08.

[i <3 you]

I think if you have legitimate posts and everything and alot of them youget not exactly more respect, but more people pay attention.

If you have lots of posts but they are stupid or you're rude or whatever then I think people just get annoyed.

I don't know how everyone else feels, but ^that's how I do it.

[Individualityy]

I think..the more pictures you post..and the more you say about yourself..the more respect you get..

It's not neccassarily the post count. If people don't know you and you have like 2039820398203982039 posts..it doesn't really matter..

[EmmalieV]

more post = more poularity.

Especially if your posts are witty , smart etc.

[*Statistik*]

Haha..i dont agree with that.

[*xcaitlinx*]

alittle bit...since people with like no posts are unknown and new. and some people have a few posts and are known for bad things. ex: spamming, being annoying/bitchy, ect.

[antix10_kos]

Yes. I believe that more post equals more respect/more clout here on cB. If someone with 100 posts double-posts or insults someone who has been on here awhile, then all the old school members jump on their back and gives them a lecture. If someone with 1000 posts does the same thing, then it more often than not goes overlooked.

However, my opinions are just observations. I'm probably a bit jaded because I make a lot of serious posts and really make an effort to be part of the community but it doesn't really matter most of time because I haven't hit the 1000th post or what-not.

In a certain right, anyone who has over 5000 posts is a very dedicated person and if they are respected more than other members, they've earned it....

[Jihea_Pak O_o]

I think the people with more posts get a little more respect...

[*Fallen_Fairy*]

no, there are quite a few people that are only on cb to submit skins and never post a thread and they are respected.

[*Kathleen*]

Haha. No one respects me.

[AnorexicAngel]

Haha. No one respects me.

i respect you.

and i think we subconciously respect people with posts. even if it's just a little.

[..:loveee.NuTTii]

Well, I guess indirectly more posts= (generally) more respect. But, this condition comes with rules doesn't it? I mean, look at all the people who were annoyed with angel_r0h when she spammed.
I also agree that we give the newbies a hard time. They have to learn too.

[sporadic]

I don't know if I personally believe that, but it sure as hell seems like that around here. =x



//

I'd respect some one who posted a long rant and only had 2 posts more than some one with 2000 who just posts stupid and pointless things. (It's happened before)

[BeyondElite]

Meg (WhiteLotus) took the exact words right out of my mouth. People with posts more than 1,000 and double posting, I highly respect them, because they put thought into their posts. But if they are fooling around (yes, and this goes to newbies too), you know what I'll say. It really depends on this kind of matter.

[technicolour]

More posts does equal more respect. To me at least.

[xsweetxcandyx]

its just because people with more post are older people
so they know whats going on and stuff
plus many are on the staff

[JlIaTMK]

Honestly people;

most of you sulk up and down to people that have more posts. I have no big opinion on it personally, but you can tell it does occur.
Hm, that's usually how it is in the world. The larger, bigger, stronger, etc. get more respect. There's no way I can reverse it; but it does happen and none of us can deny it.

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

its just because people with more post are older people
so they know whats going on and stuff
plus many are on the staff

^ That's not always true I have over 1,000 posts and I'm only 13 =\ I've never read the community guidelines to tell you the truth

I respect those who help out in cb, or if they're a mod even better. I'm fine with any noob as long as they don't start on cb by spamming.

[mocassinsx29]

^ Hehe, I thought they meant older as in been in CB longer. But that's not necessarily true either.

[*Azarel*]

Bringing this back since some idiot just wanted respect in chat; it's only been about a week anyway.

I've said before, you want respect, you earn it. It's not freely given away, it's not something people are obligated to give you. To be honest, there are a lot of members here I really don't respect, even though they do have high post counts; it's content that matters, and a lot of this shit on cB isn't worth reading half the time.

Honestly, you people who kiss other members' asses, it's pretty pathetic and lame that you kids do so, especially because it's through the internet so there really is nothing to gain. Stop with the bullshit; learn what respect is.

And really now. Respect from just having a high post count? That's bullshit. It's perhaps intimidation and a little bit of envy more than anything. A high post count doesn't mean jack shit. However, if you can tell by a member's posts that s/he's a dedicated member, that merits something.

So when you say you respect someone for having a high post count, just no. That ain't right. I mean, take away someone's entire post count - say, BrandonSaunders or uninspiredfae - they'll still get respect because you can tell that's the sort of people they are - dedicated, hard-working, respectable.

Now that it's off my chest, I'm going out. See you later, kids.

[*paul murphy*]

Look at my post count, am I respected? Am I liked? Am I known? HELL yea.

[Tung]

i wouldnt say more respect. because someone who is a total jackass on createblog with abotu 3000 posts..compare to a very nice person with about 100 post. so no. posts dont matter.

[*lolita kitty*]

usually if a member is making their posts everywhere, its because they want to be known.
they want to be remembered, i guess. i guess it gives you more respect. although there are only 2 people currently with 10,000+ posts....

hehe.

[silentxcries]

Wellll, me and my friend were just wondering this because once I went into this room and this Newbie double posted and everyone was like screaming [well, maybe not screaming... just saying in a mean way] at the poor guy ["Ugh, don't double next time.  "] but then I went into another room and this guy with like 2,000 posts triple-posted but no one said a thing.  Be honest!!!

thats messed up...

[sadolakced acid]

you know, i don't really think so. it's not possible. can't be.

[sadolakced acid]

of course i could be wrong, but then again..... i'm probably right.

it's impossible.

[jennyjenny]

not really.

if it's 1000 posts of spam then no.

if it's 1000 respectable posts, then maybe.

And it's probably because they're seen more.

[*incoherent*]

no, because some people post over 100 posts a day. that doesnt make them better. i just look to see if their in a moderator position or not.

[KissMe2408]

lol I always see people with more post counts getting more respect on here. And it's kinda natural for you to respect someone who's been here longer and has more posts, then someone who just got here and has 3. Tho, we should respect everyone at the same level, whether senior or noob. But don't get me started on that lol, cuz that doesn't happen around here.

And yah it is about Quality rather then Quantity. There are some people here with 10,000 posts that basically say nothing. And then there are people here with 300 posts, and have alot of good, constructive things to say. so i mean yah lol

[Jane Doe.]

usually it's
more posts=more time here=respect earned

not
more posts= automatic respect.

I've been here a week..and no one has dis-respected me, but I don't know anyone..
