I noticed that people on AG give serfs no respect thinking they're noobs. At what rank to people stop thinking you are a noob? I'm a silver squire as of right now, so how nooby am I.
I respect everybody on the site, unless they give me a reason not too (trolls, spammers, etc) Although, people with higher ranks seem to get more respect from newer users.
I go by the quality of their posts. If I see a serf making a bunch of well thought out quality posts then I will respect him. Yes, even if he has under 500 or 1000 or whatever number of posts. I don't think we should base respect entirely of rank, but that's just my two cents.
I judge people by the quality of their posts and by their demeanor. Rank doesn't matter because you can easily get a high rank in a month by rating all the games and commenting on each of them, by doing that you'll be at around iron prince. And even if you do get a high rank solely or mostly from forum posts it still doesn't matter, it's not that difficult to gain a lot of posts if you try. However, if they are long, well thought out, and contribute something then that's nice. So rank doesn't matter for anything important, really.
Honestly, only immature ppl look at ratings and judge ppl. Usually they are judged by how they act. Likeonce i met a super nice serf, who was being bullied around by a tyranical king status person
I only really start to respect people once I have gotten to know them better after some time. I know a few Kings who clearly do not deserve my respect.
Rank means nothing, not even age, because it's really not very difficult to gain AP, and if one is able to spam effectively, Gold King can be a achieved within a month, and that's probably a generous estimate. Post quality, and overall demeanor on the other hand, provides for a true knowledge of the person.
Now that I think about it, I don't usually look at someone's posts/rank/avatar. I just read their username out of the corner of my eye and read their post. Whether I respect them or not has absolutely nothing to do with that or whether or not they use correct grammar.
I could have hundreds of points right now by chatting with every user I see for two points a post, but I prefer just posting on the forums for one point a post, where you can't chat with people as much.
+I could rate a whole bunch of games while I'm chatting with random people to get thousands more points, because there's a huge amount of games on this website.
