Do I agree with him just because he's wibbs? nope, not at all, we've had one or two disagreements :P If I like/agree with a post, I'll thank it regardless of who has posted it.

Deleted User wrote: » Not in general, no. If a topic is interesting, it will make for good conversation and people will get involved regardless of who the OP is. There are exceptions - if an opinion is very controversial and it's posted by someone as their first post - people will automatically assume they are a troll, and to be honest - they're usually right and we find they are a re-reg of a banned poster. If someone is posting rubbish on a daily basis people are going to eventually get a bit bored of them. That's human nature though. If you knew a guy who only spewed the same shyte day in and day out, you'd eventually stop listening to him.

For instance, if a regular poster posted something on a thread and a mod posted the exact same thing two posts later, you can nearly always guarantee that even though the other poster said it first, the mod will get more thanks. Id say that's mainly down to people either wanting to stay on the mods good side, or kind of kissing arse in the hope of becoming a mod themselves. It's always been the way though, as far as I've seen.
Czarcasm wrote: » Ehh, I dunno El G, I think that might be perception more than anything. One thing I've noticed and quite frankly admired about boards is that in a discussion, you can disagree with Moderators and even Site Administrators, without fear of anyone bearing grudges. Sure, I've seen Moderators posts be shown appreciation moreso than ordinary posters, but that's usually when they ban a poster from a discussion for their usually inflammatory opinion. In that case the Moderator would be posting in an official and unbiased capacity and posters would appreciate the fact that the inflammatory poster was banned from the discussion, moreso than thinking the Moderator banned them because they disagreed with their opinion. How soon is now, there's exactly what I was saying earlier too- I disagreed with El G above, but when he said Wibbs is like the yoda of boards, I thanked his post because I have my own suspicions that Wibbs is like Skynet gone sentient- the guy knows far more about such a wide range of topics than the human brain could possibly handle, and the way he's able to convey his opinions and ideas in the way a two year old child would understand it, that's a skill that I wish I could grasp! Again though in saying that- while Wibbs is certainly a knowledgeable poster, I've had no issue with expressing a different opinion to theirs and again there's no begrudgery there that might carry into another thread on a totally different subject. I think some posters just hold on to stuff for too long and that can close them off to another posters opinion that they might agree with on another thread, but they missed it because they dismissed the poster or had them on ignore (horrible system the whole ignore and thanks functions tbh, but that's only IMO!).

As in, two people could say the exact same thing but the second person will get more thanks, not necessarily because they are a mod, but just because people like/respect that poster more. Probably happens to myself too :pac: *sobs* I'm so unpopular. As for me, yeah I notice who posts what on here. There are some posters which you can predict what they're going to say before you even read the post just based on the thread topic and their username popping up. That's when you know you have to get off the internet :eek:
