Post Count Bias

Do you treat people on comic vine with low number of posts such as myself differently then people with posts in the thousands? I have been collecting comics for years now and have done TONS and TONS of research on comics including skills, powers, abilities, battles, story arcs, crossovers, and the characters themselves. I would say I'm a very intelligent person when it comes to comics but you have no way of knowing that since I just started an account on comic vine. I'm what you would call a walking comic encyclopedia. If I had the effort and time I could become a respected poster on this site since I have the smarts and knowledge when it comes to all aspects of comics. I have seen many posters on comic vine with a small amount of posts make a fool of themselves and occasionally I have also seen people with THOUSANDS of posts make themselves look like idiots. I have been going on this site for years and have gotten enjoyment and first hand experience when it comes to some comic characters.

Anyway so do you treat people with low amount of posts differently to the point where it can be considered a bias of sorts?

Of course not.

A member with 10 posts could have more well-thought out, knowledgeable responses than someone with 10,000.

Yeah It's always fun to slap around some freshmeat.

Racists.

Yeah, I feel the same way and I don't know why either. I mean, I obviously have a reason to think that way, but I don't care enough to think about it.

HOW DO YOU NOT GET THE JOKE?

*head implodes*

I don't really care what anyone's post count is. Some people on here spam random threads all day just to get their post count up. Haha. So lame.

Little bit, not even going to lie. My reason is because I don't know whether somebody is a troll or not until they've been here long enough.

Also, people without avatars. I don't take most people who lack avatars seriously.

I'm just going to be honest about the whole thing. A lot of you who know me won't be surprised.

Exactly! No idea why I feel this way, perhaps because I feel like if they haven't put in the effort to change their avatar, they probably haven't put in that much effort educating themselves on comics... of course, reasonably, I know that's not always going to be true, but my knee-jerk reaction is to not put a whole lot of faith in what a low-count poster with a generic CV avatar has to say

I've been owned by 2-digit and 3-digit post count viners a lot of times. Still waiting for a 1-digit post count viner to beat me into pulp.

Also, honestly, the OP comes off as a bit pretentious, which is something else that makes me wary.

I'm not bias against low post count users but I am bias against pretentious arrogant a-holes. Two users in particular and you know who you are >_>

Hey, look. My way of thinking is still right.

The TC is a shining testament to the legitimacy of my cynicism.

I think it's the opposite for me. I tend to try to be really nice to someone with a low post count, cuz I figure they haven't been around long enough to pick up certain quirks about the site and posting... 
 
I think the vets over in the battles forum did that with me and my very odd topics until I got the hang of making only slightly odd topics... : )

Well I tend to be more acquainted with other users with higher post counts because we would both be regular users or "veterans". However, I love to see new users with fresh ideas, though that often backfires with them being a$$'s, but I know plenty of a$$'s who are regulars so it just depends on the person I suppose.

However,

This.

I have a reason. You have the same icon as a spammer and in my brain that registers you as a computer.

Meh, we all have to start somewhere, doesn't matter how many posts you have to be honest.

Elitism is heavy on comicvine.

It really is.

Everyone had a low posy count at one point. Being biased makes no sense.

It's more like "you're new. We don't know whether you're good or bad yet." And since the vast majority of newbies make rather bad threads / posts (see: the TC here), most (including me) assume the worst. And typically, this assumption is correct (again, see TC).
