I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

Ignore? Not so much. I will admit that I tend to take regular members less seriously, tho. I figure that the higher your title, the more credibility you have.
But there are some titles you can get just by being around for a long time, regardless of the quality of your contributions.
I do believe he's referring to the base title (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) and not the prefixes (honorable, veteran, etc.)
So people magically become worth listening to after 1-2 years of activity?
There has to be an internal way to filter content since most people don't have the time to sit in on a topic and read every word. Title bars provide one of the easiest way to filter that content but other characteristics used to stratify/filter content (here at least) are going to be just as problematic. Not to say that it's the right thing to do, just that it explains why people do it.

I know, right?
Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

I understand that. I do it based on how easy sentences are to parse - I don't mind if people don't use capitalisation or all the necessary punctuation as long as their sentences are still easy to read. To me, being able to communicate well is a sign of intelligence, so I guess that's my mental filter. I suppose it's no less discriminatory than judging people based on titles, though.

Yes, you, I'm ignoring you!

Yep; I, of my own personal opinion, do not believe that anything that i am b0red guy posts is worth reading. I actually refrained from releasing my block script purely because I was extremely tempted to publish the script with him pre-blocked.

Posted by: jaythenerdkidIt's much more fun to judge people based on inflammatory criteria. The laughter I get from cries of elitism on this website, amazingly, still hasn't diminished after all this time.

I tend to ignore that Izak609 guy's posts; everything he says, I already know.

This is now my main account. My former account was xKingGhidorahx. I've been on this site since 2009.

Yeah.

What if they have something worth contributing, it's just not in proper English?

Posted by: kkrotz
Nah. To be honest I kind of ignore anyone based on their writing skills. If they can't use logical english I tend to be wary of their words.

Fabled Legendary, what do I win? XD

I must admit to having...less admirable criteria I sometimes use to judge whether or not someone's post is worth reading. I try not to be biased against certain people (or groups of people), but I guess that I, like most people, am not perfect.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Sometimes, yes. I ignore about half that forum because they have absolutely no idea what they're saying.

*sees avatar*

If consistently liked, *continue reading*.
If consistently disliked, *continue reading to decide whether they're likable or not yet*.

Usually, cynicism and narcissism reigns supreme in the people I ignore (which isn't many).

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

Not really. If a post is really long and boring looking I might skip over it.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Only if it is a long read.
