Do Rankings Influence How People Post?

Posted: 11/13/06 at 10:48pm

Do rankings influence how people post? I believe they do.

For example, a Swing, Understudy, or Stand-by posts about something you think is stupid. Most Broadway Legend/Broadway Star posters attack the poster with hate comments. Later, a Broadway Legend posts about something you think is stupid. Most Broadway Legend/Broadway Star posters simply hit the "back" button and don't respond.

Do you agree with this?

Actor - no, I don't agree. I don't think anyone pays much attention to those designations after so many people made it a contest to post inanity just to 'up their standing.'

That's because the folks that have been here for a while so we know each other (more or less) and know each others sense of humor. When someone new comes on the board and starts pulling crap, they will get a tounge lashing.

People with an inability to belive that the stupidity of their posts might be what draws comments. Because obviously there HAS to be a bigger conspiracy than that.

papa's appropriating my image, so I'm suing for theft of intellectual property, BTW. My ass isn't that flat.

It most certainly is not flat. I would call it perky, actually.

I must admit when a particularly stupid/shill post is made I check the date...

Same here...I have little patience for new members who bolt out of the gate swinging both fists.

The only time it really matters to me is when it comes to reviews. I'm relatively new to the broadway obsession in comparison to a lot of others. So when I look for opinions/critiques of plays/actors/etc, I would tend to take more from a "legend" or "star", but not always. Some people could have just as great insight and be a late bloomer.

That's when you use the "stupid" meter to judge--there's lots of great new members and it does take some time to find one's groove and function in the BWW. I was lucky; PJ found my groove for me.

Hopefully, I'm the good bunch of newbies. I do try to post intelligently here. I really do, even when it's 3 am. :)

I'm still stuck on the "bolting out of the gate with both fists" comment, which I must say took me WAY back, lol
