And yes, respect should be given to everyone. However, by rule, the only ones that have deserved it are the old-timers. Most of the time we get these short timer posters that ramble, and disrespect the older users like crazy (fbim, Murder) and think they can do what they want, offend who they will for whatever reason, and so on.
Murderface has been on this site longer than I have. I'd consider myself an "old" member
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

I disagree. Whether you have been here for 5 years or five days, if you curse at someone you loose respect, if you treat someone kindly you gain respect. Time, to me at least, means jack. It's the person that I look at, rather then how long they have been here.
People here who diserve respect have to earn it, it's just not how long they've been here.
I don't see how Carlo has possibly earned it o.o all I know he did the novel but didn't he drop from that?
Welcome beast dude.
Just for future reference, you don't have to put a signature in your post everytime you... post, because your name is already on the left side of your post.

Murderface might be older by technicallities, but he has not earned respect. To me, whatever respect he had earned he through away.

Then again that's me...
Read the post again. Long as they give well thought out posts, and respect the long timers, they're in the clear. Judge someone not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Same applies here. Well, used to at least. The problem with newer generations is that they have no respect for their elders or authority, and as we can see its even reaching our little family.

You guys are saying the same thing I said. Respect is earned, not just handed out.
And you haven't been here long enough to know what I've done. Then again, you don't care and neither do the rest. Which is why I hold no respect for you guys, yet I'm respected by Silver, Elfen, Thas, and others who have been around to know my contributions. Perhaps I should be less abrasive and more neutral so that you all respect me more?
Being respected on the forums is not such a big deal is it?

Sometimes people need to be reminded that these are only internet forums
I think this is actually amazing. Most people here have never met, and have conversed mainly through forums and chatting. On lives outside of this, this forum has little to no direct impact. Yet the massive conflicts, discussions and interactions that sprawl here seem neverending. It's very interesting at times to think about.

It is, to the people that are on here so much, I'd assume. In general, my reputation is very important to me, but I wouldn't kill myself over not being respected by some people, because no matter what you will eventually offend someone and then they'll hate you forevermore on that basis, or at least that's what I've observed in the other forums I frequent.
And on a side note, unless your post pertains to the welcoming of the poster of this thread, you're getting us off topic
I'm on here all day. More time than most of the people mostly. Sometimes less, sometimes very less. But i visit these forums daily.
I have very less reputation points yet i doubt if many people on here dislike me truly. [tell me if you do]

I dont care if im not respected on here. No to be rude, but I dont know any of you people. This could be my last posts and no one would notice. But I do think its fun leading up to Diablo 3. When Diablo 3 comes out though, I dont think ill be around too much.
People'll be busy playing D3 and no one will have time to discuss other things.

Meh, people should be given respect at the point of them being unidentified. The whole idea of "earning respect" is complete bullcrap. Some new member has to earn respect? From whom? What about THOSE people earn HIS respect, first?
Same shit in real life. Lack of cooperation never got anyone too far, people.
Why to gain respect from anyone at a place where it doesn't even matter?

Respect matters at all times. The fact that this is internet doesn't mean this place is "less important" or "less influential". It's a thing called good manners. Good manners when you respect people you don't know, and say hi to them, and smile to them.
I was merely saying that at least for me, some respect is a comforting thought, enough atleast so that whenever I post something I'm not flamed or picked on immediately, like some other unfortunate members here. In any case, I was not speaking for everyone, Explorer, since I am not omniscient (spell check?) and cannot, therefore (spell check?), know every single person's personal opinions. I wasn't talking about seniority respect, either. For instance, I would not expect any respect due from any of you toward me, since I really haven't contributed anything yet to the forums, but at the same time, a new member to the forums should not be treated like dirt. I want to say it's something similiar to "Don't judge a book by its cover" or "Innocent until proven guilty". And as for the people who've been here for a long time and have 5,000 posts, I am not inclined to give any of you any more respect whatsoever than what I deem your character (displayed through your posts) worthy of having. Not to say respect from me is anything great. Hmm... Do you get me?

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
