Not intentionally though it's just unconscious stereotyping towards those who are new/not really known.
We really don't need that type of thing on this forum just like Tyrien said.
I doubt this forum is going to be created anytime soon.
For now all members need to come together have a discussion about each others egos.
Egos are generally what lead to those immature arguments.
Also we need to come to terms that debating is arguing and sometimes the mods just have to let it fly as long as it stays on topic.
Nothing should be closed like it is nowadays until it turns into, "My penis is bigger then yours! You're ugly!" crap.
Alot of members on this forum just love to bring up each others flaws which usually end up getting a topic closed.
It's so preschool.

Yeah I never meant to suggest a divide between forum members, just something that can be in a sense 'earned' over time - but I suppose you are right in saying that it could (and probably would) end up as dividing the popular and unpopular members - and I certainly wouldn't want that, after all I know what it's like to be a new member as it wasn't so long ago!
I agree about egos though. People on JF have a massive problem with this kind of stuff, and it usually ends in petty insults which is something we don't want. When things get heated then that can be tolerated as long as people don't make PERSONAL attacks on others. Me and MMM have a big disagreement about illegal music downloads but I hold no negative thoughts about him at all - his opinion is just different to my own. And a lot of people are able to agree to disagree, just a minority who can't do that. But a lot of people can
never admit they are wrong, which is also a problem too.
