No, age will never ba sure indicator for maturity, but it is a general statement, and again i lack information to make other supporting judgements. |

I see what you mean and I have experienced it..... When I first joined the Nsider forums, Nintendo's official forums, I had no clue what to do. I just went around, doing what I thought was right. I eventually learned almost all I needed to know. Now to the part about what you were saying, more then rankism part. I would go around to various threads on Nsider, until I finally found one I really liked, The Nsider Town Square. I started going there a real lot. It was hard because everyone overlooked me because I was just some moblin, or just some shy guy. Eventually, as I began ranking up and getting higher ranks, people started noticing me more and treating me with more respect. Now, I am probably one of the best known people there. I feel kinda bad because of it because I see all the new users being overlooked like I once was. I try to stop the rankism but its just to hard for one person to do. The only problem I see with your idea is that postcount shows how active someone is. Im not saying that all the posts or good but you want to have an active user to have a high position like that so that your not just wasting your time with somone that comes on for maybe half an hour a day. Great post though, you have very good points there and good luck with it

The same thing that happened to you monkimann is happening 2 me right now at NF. I dont have alot of posts but im going up and pretty soon people r starting 2 recongnze me. I had no idea last week on what 2 do hear... but now i started making polls and stuff at Nintendo HQ and I am starting 2 get higher ranks and its really FUN! But I think Ganon should just have fun here at NF and stop worring how mature people r and stop worrying about rankism and start having fun! Example: 2 people kno the exact same things and r exactly alike in how smart they r. One is the president and one is just some guy. Even though they r alike in how they think and have the same knowledge and r both very friendly, the guy with the rank "PRESIDENT" is more will none and more well respected because he made speeches(posts) to help him get where he is! |

I don't care about post count. After all, it's just a number, and why have a number judge a person? It's the quality of the posts that I consider. For example, if a person makes really good posts,then they will get my respect. To show that I respect them, and to show to other members that that user makes good, thought-out posts, I created the Sage rank. If another person flames and spams in thier posts, then they will get the banned rank, to show that they should not get that much respect. It all flows together. Even if you aren't Sage, you can still get respect. I respect many people at Nsider, even though some of them aren't Sages. When I am looking for Mod's/Sages, I look at the quality posts they made in the ratio of the total posts they have made. If the ratio is good, then they will be most likely chosen. So, let's say user A's ratio looks like this: (quality posts: total posts) 30:1000 As you can see, user A does not have a very good ratio. Let's look at user B: 400:600 User B has a very good ratio, and would have a good chance at Sage/Mod. Let's look at user C: 60:90 User C also has a good ratio. Let's look at user D: 450:900 That's a decent ratio. User E: 300:1000 Not bad, but not the best. Then, I take the ratio's and put them into percents. User A: 3% of posts are good User B: 66% of posts are good User C: 66% of posts are good User D: 50% of posts are good User E: 30% of posts are good Okay, now we have a tie between User B and User C. So, who would I chose? I would chose the more active one. Active is defined in two ways by me. The first would be how many posts they have. A user with 5,000 posts is very active. The other definition would be how much they are on. So, if a member is on all day, they would be considered active. But which definition of Active would you chose over the other one? I would chose the post definition of active. Why? Because one person could easily log-in, and leave the computer running all day, making it look as if they are active. So, I would chose User B for the position. He has a very good quality posts to post total ratio. And Ganondorf, what does age really have to do with anything? |

Look, this is what i got to say. For example, if I was matt, I's consider C-00-TheBowser as a mod. The high quality posts he made in this topic alone are evident. Does he have a lot of posts? No. But he has a good many, so you can tell that he's pretty loyal. |

Age is one determining factor of ones maturity, and ones ability to make not corrupt decisions, With more age, you typically become more mature and able make good decisions based 100% on the facts with age. However age is one of those non-stable variables, a 10 years old can very easily be far more mature than a 18 year old, and vice versa. However usually it is the older the are the more mature you are and able to make again “100% fact based decisions”. I am not stereotyping anyone in saying this, but a am using age as a determining factor because I do not have otherwise valid data to support another choice. Why do you have to be around 16 years old to get a job under most circumstances? Because it is broadly determined that age sixteen is a good age for maturity and stability and control of ones life, this age can be younger, but that is an approximation. If I were to put a person I knew nothing about, except for their age, and my choices1 14 year old, and a 18 year old, because of general consensus I would have to pick the 18 year old, but if I knew enough about each one of them and the 14 year old was mature enough than I would easily pick the 14 year old, but in this scenario I don’t know that information. So it in most circumstances because over the internet we don’t know each other it comes down to age being the general deciding factor for many things. But again this is not always going to make everyone happy, and satisfy all wants, nothing is perfect, everyone makes mistakes |

I'd probably pick the 14 year old for mod, because in my experience, the older members are too technical and too strict. But if the choices were a 14 year old, a 16 year old, and an 18 year old (And I knew nothing about either members) I'd pick the 16 year old. But yes, age does count (but only about 6%) amd most users here are the same age

Why do you pick the 14 year old, i an not going to chasatize your coice, but why? And the older people are usually MODs because they can be trusted to not make a byist decission of any kind, as for being strict an to serious, thats how older people are, we have a whole different look on life, and you will be that way some day too, the word moderator fits well with someone who is strict and serious rather than someon of other catagorization. Older MODs follow the rules verbatim. |

Why did you need to post it anyway, if you dont like whats going on, dont come here. All the private chat boards are just rewards for active members. |

I never said i did not like what was going on, i said i strognly dissagreed with what appeared to be some of the policys that to my point of view were in place, i also wanted to set a healthy standard for other and future users, and to point out to this problem if they wonder about it, and show them how it is dealt with and what the admins said. And i never said i did not like these fourums, not liking one part or aspect is different from not liking them as a whole.
