Other Forum members are more civil than Legendary members, Why?

[Funke]

I have keenly noticed that, some members of the forum like the legendary members do not have good choice of words in expressing their thought , outside abusive choices of words or words that sounds like bullying.

The most abusive forum members as I have noticed are the legendary members. I noticed it in their replies to posts or contributions to posts.

Do we agree that it is a feeling of pride that they have superior knowledge on issues than others because of their ranking?

They are most times emotional and personal in their contributions to issues of public concern.

Who else is noticing this attitude as a newbie or member?

This is a public forum so you don't expect people to behave the way you want. Members are free to express themselves the way they want and if you are not comfortable with that you can just ignore them. However, I think your observation is untrue because there are legendary members who express themselves meekly and understandably. You might have issues with the response of some legendary members but it will be wrong to generalise your experience. You don't expect members to be clapping for you when you are doing something wrong. You might be criticised and corrected so that you can learn from your mistakes. If you think this set of experienced members is proud, you might not learn from them because you will always feel intimidation or oppressed.

[Ndabagi01]

I haven't noticed that from a user yet, but it all depends on how you react or feel about a specific response given to you by the user, regardless of their rank in the forums. It is good to be nice to people when responding to them, but because this is not moderated in the forum, you either learn from it or leave them alone. It could be their way of life, their own way of expressing themselves, or their reactions to a question or discussion. I don't see this as a problem because you agreed to join a public forum and learn here. Accept the correction and learn from the critics.

[LTU_btc]

I noticed such things, but I don't think it happens often. And I don't agree that it happens because they have superior knowledge. You know, in general newbies tend to ask same kind of questions. Older members see such questions all their long time here. Some maybe are just pissed off and tired answering same questions. How someone may not know it and why they're not using search when such question was answered so many times. I agree that sometimes people should be less harsh for newbies.
But I suggest you, don't react so sensitive to things what people are saying on internet.

[Hispo]

That is rather a subjective thing to say about people who have a rank here in the forum and do not share anything beyond that,  in my opinion. I have personally tried not to be offensive and always treat all people here with respect, regardless of their personal ideas and opinions, you are not the exception.
The same way I have seen people with the rank of legendaries, I have also seen newbies being mean and mistreating others for no reason at all.
It is not about having a rank in an internet forum, it is about the person and the personality which controls the account. To me, it is kind of silly to generalize a whole section/population of people of this place just based in rank. Nonetheless, I do not blame anyone who could feel intimidated by the rank of others when comes to participating here and the replies which could come back, when I first started to post here I indeed felt intimidated and made me to think twice before commenting anything at all.

Some Legendary accounts are purchased, and i want commend on the merit system.

But, help is on its way.

No, I don't really agree with what you're saying. Sure, it's true that some legendary members can be jerks sometimes, but newbies aren't always saints either. I've seen my fair share of newbie trolls joining the forum with the sole intention to stir things up with irrelevant or nonsensical posts. And, regular members can be just as bad, engaging in group attacks on those they disagree with, resorting to name-calling, and all that junk.

Way I see it, every community has its share of troublemakers. Placing the blame solely on one group is neither fair nor accurate. We all gotta do our part to keep things respectful - newcomers and veterans alike.  And I don't think its fair to say that those legendary members act like they're better than everyone else. They got that status by helping out a lot on here.  Maybe you just had a bad experience with one person who happened to have a high post count and legendary rank, but I wouldn't generalize and say they all have a superiority complex though.  That's harsh and probably not true for most of the longtime, dedicated members around here.

No, this is not true, for the few months I have been in this forum I have come to understand so many things including life in general, no body is bullying or abusing you bro, criticism is what I know you get in this forum if you are talking off point or saying a lie or doing anything the wrong way, it just a shame that you see criticism and correction as bullying because am very sure that nobody  insulted you, though to some people advice and criticism look like insult to them, which is quite normal, but if you really want to learn, you will swallow it and learn from them.

Even though you feel insulted by the comments of one or two legendary guys, that don't make all the legendary member in the forum a bully according to you, so please be guided.

[Y3shot]

If this is what you noticed from some of  the legendary members in the forum,  I will advice you not to take it very personal.  Just concentrate on your target which you want from the forum. Just know that such things happens in life and are very body can't be the same, their are people that are kind and their are people that are harsh too. I will correct you too that it is not every legendary member that are the way you just concluded  about legendary members.

[Jawhead999]

The @OP was mad because he don't want to receives criticism from someone who disagree with his opinion, the topic he created is a sensitive case, I'm sure if he post it in X, he will get more criticism.

How someone may not know it and why they're not using search when such question was answered so many times. I agree that sometimes people should be less harsh for newbies.

It mostly related to a fake newbie who claimed if he don't know anything or creating such "high quality" post in order to farm merit. If the newbie is genuinely asking something, people won't bully him even though it was discussed so many times.

[Zanab247]

Many newbies experienced such criticism from legendary and hero members in this forum but you need to know that they know more than you in this forum and, they have the right to tackle anything that is not on a straight way in the forum so that other newbies will not be thinking the person is doing the right thing in the forum.

If you received such argument from senior members in the forum trying to quote you wrong or right, you don't need to hate them and, one thing you need to do at the moment is to increase your study and research to prove to them that you know what you are saying by bringing out some backup in form of links that will make them to believe that you know what you are talking about in that particular thread.

Like seriously, do you have to threat a single person way of behavior to be the same as how every legendary members behaved, are you telling us now that when you also becomes a legendary member rank you will do the same, if I were you, all I could do is to site an example and reference it than making a single encounter you might have seen with someone to be the same for everybody.

The most abusive forum members as I have noticed are the legendary members. I noticed it in their replies to posts or contributions to posts.

Between parents and children, who scolds most and why do you think they do so, if you hate being corrected, then you will reason the same way you feels that every higher rank members are taking abuse.

[Lucius]

If you have some disagreements with one or two members who have Legendary rank, I don't see why you should generalize that all Legendary members are the same? Everyone is free to express themselves in this forum in the way they think is appropriate, even if it means using harsher words or even swearing that others may not like.

If someone can't stand someone's posts, there is an "ignore" option that can be of great help.

They are most times emotional and personal in their contributions to issues of public concern.

This is something that makes us human and differentiates us from AI chat bots, and I don't see that you should see anything wrong with that.

Even if that was true, which it doesn't sound like it is, you might be confusing being "civil" with being a vapid spammer who posts generic garbage with no personal insight, opinion, or anything of value at all. Then if someone posts something like a real person would do, e.g. calling said spammers out for what they are, it "sounds like bullying". I'd say various fake newbies tend to be unreasonably abusive far more often than more senior members.

Any user, regardless of rank, can be susceptible to this phenomenon. If you come across posts from a couple of legendary that sound rude, this doesn't mean that all users who reach this rank begin to behave inappropriately.

Well, sometimes I, too, am a little arrogant in my statements, but let me note that this should not be a reason for dissatisfaction and this is not due to my legendary rank, but rather to the nature of my personal character. And may Satoshi help me avoid your righteous anger because of this.

Do we agree that it is a feeling of pride that they have superior knowledge on issues than others because of their ranking?

A high rank is not always an indicator of having great knowledge and experience. In reality, rank is just a measure of time spent (activity) and persistence (merit). You are trying to connect 2 things (rude behavior and high rank), but they don't have a direct correlation.

They are most times emotional and personal in their contributions to issues of public concern.

All people, regardless of rank, are like this to one degree or another.

Who else is noticing this attitude as a newbie or member?

It is possible that this is the case, but the root of the evil is related to the users, and not their rank.

[SatoPrincess]

First, I believe that people act the way they do irrespective of rank. Newbies should not feel inferior to other members, some of the high rank accounts were created before the merit system and have not been able to get more than 100 merits since the introduction of the merit system. Rank does not equate knowledge.

I agree with @LTU_btc, one of the reasons older members sometimes lash out at newbies is because of the reoccurring threads that are often created. It’s even more annoying when it’s a simple question that could be answered with a google search.

The @OP was mad because he don't want to receives criticism from someone who disagree with his opinion, the topic he created is a sensitive case, I'm sure if he post it in X, he will get more criticism.

I’m surprised how people let political debates be their primary focus on a bitcoin forum.

[acroman08]

sometimes being frank and not sugarcoating anything is better. it may look or sound harsh to you but in the end, their intention is to teach and guide people who might not know any better.

I'm curious, did you perhaps experience it and that is why you decided to make a thread about it, if so, would you mind sharing an example?

Dear Funke, this is a public forum that accommodates people from different parts of the world; you should not expect everybody's mode of approach to be the same.
Some words you think of as abusive are actually normal words in some parts of the world. That is why people that leave around there will be using it to communicate to the general public; you cannot do anything about it. If you want to learn in this forum, you need to take your attention off anything that will emotionally affect you so as to learn very quickly.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I'm going to be Mr. Contrarian here and partially agree with OP that older members (not necessarily of Legendary rank) tend to be more outspoken, and they probably do use profanity more so than members who haven't been here as long.  Me?  I was an asshole right out of the gate at Newbie rank and have actually mellowed over the years.  But the thing is that the longer a person is here, and the more they actually care about the forum, the more they see how many idiots there are that bring the quality of discussion down to rock-bottom level--and for those of them who are inclined to, they resort to venting their feelings with choice words, condescension, or whatever else.

Most newbies are as meek as a mouse and seem to want to fly so far under the radar whilst participating in a bounty or campaign that they're nearly on the ground.  But I've definitely seen my share of "new" accounts come here just to make a big stink about something.  Eh.

[Zoomic]

What do you expect when almost all the newbies keep repeating questions and issues that have been dealt with and resolved,  creating similar thread to discuss a topic which is already existing in the forum. You may be right about legendary members not being civil in their replies to posts made by newbies, that's their way of whipping you in the ass and telling you "hey! You would have searched for this thread before creating a new one to discuss what we have already explained countless times". Sorry OP, not many here would be willing to follow your pattern,  many will reply to your posts in an offensive tone but hey! Ignore the tone and pick the corrections. You don't have to take people's response here to heart, learn from every reaction you get.
