It's simple.

Someone makes a thread about elitism, most older members are shocked at the mere mention because we just don't see it anywhere.

Obviously the newer members have a deep-rooted fear of a coloured bar and thus are shocked into submission and begin to babble like a drooling lunatic.

It's the only explanation.

I made a picture to illustrate this.

You have been signed up to the website longer than someone. So what?

I don't think you read anything at all before making this post.

Well, maybe the first two words, but otherwise this just doesn't make any sense

I'm honestly on the side of the "older" members/Mythics in this situation most of the time. Normies who are getting their panties in a bunch when someone is making an obvious joke need to learn to understand sarcasm.

For example,

I know right! I hate those lower titled members for thinking there's elitism on this site!

I read your thread. You're basically saying "Newer members are scared of members that have been signed up longer A.K.A coloured title bar".

Give an example.

Sarcasm? And there is no elitism..at all most of the time the people that have been here longer make more sense and generally know more about the website. Though there are "members" who say very smart things

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

It's just new peeps taking thinks too seriously on the internet - nothing new there.

Edit:Now that that's out of the way, bow down!

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I fear nothing

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Who's this "we" you speak of. I don't see your username on The List as having received an invite.

There are three people I serve. God, Chuck norris, and Evilcam.

I don't know what you're talking about... *feels wimpy*

Well, I won't deny that newer members are surely frightened of the higher-ups, and they kind of should be. If they are new they don't understand it all yet.

But what you have done here obviously does not help them. Instead of ignoring them and allowing them to adjust you alienate them and suggest them to hide away.

In my opinion, you are the babbling lunatic unable to accept newcomers.

Perfect example.

You see, there is no "acceptance" here.

The moment a member realises the Bungie Community is not a club of awesome people that you aren't invited you, but a club of awesome people that has the double doors flung wide open is the moment that the member joins the Bungie Community. There is no elitism here.

Oh and SteroidKloud, I've actually been here since 2002. Don't believe me? ...precisely.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Agreed. The new members try to degrade us at every turn!

Colored bars demand respect from me. Just the sight of them tells me that I am in the presence of greatness. I consider their opinion more than others.

However, I don't trust Honorable members because several have been contradictory to their title...

I do not see what is so appealing about that blue bar still. OK, they never accepted my requests to join their cozy little group, but I have been active for years.
