If I were to see some boss named ADashOfRainbow swagging with his pony badge on, I'd be pretty damn intimidated.

Maybe when I was first starting on these forums, like when I was a Blank Flank, muffin, and cupcake, I might've been a little more careful with what I posted, since I didn't want anypony to ignore what I was posting if it sounded juvenile in addition to the fact that I was a muffin, but really, I've never really been intimidated by any of the badges... well, except maybe Feld0 (LOL, kidding :lol: , love ya Feld0). I agree with what other ponies say that the badges look similar enough that it's not like certain groups hang out on these forums only with other people in their badge group or anything like that. I feel like we have a very strong, friendly, and welcoming community on these forums! Let's keep it up everypony!!!! :)

Site owners, mods and admins, slightly. I have the take the risk of one of them deleting mah posts, though that's rare. I think Arylett is the only one who has done that to me (3-4 times. One of the deleted posts may have been by another mod) :huh:

i am, like in any other forum, intimidated by higher ranks. Just because they are older and the post count, oh y god the post count. In the SPUF I have 1360 posts, so I am almost known, here I only have like 90 posts(and all the badges over pony intimidate me, like seriously, I hate ranks).

Seeing as one can only have a single badge at a time, I don't really think it's intimidating because it entirely circumvents the hole "GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL" meta-game mentality that drives other users to strange ends in order to gain more badges. When one only has the ability to have one badge and one badge ever at any given time, this danger is precluded.

That being said, I'm still scared of Klopp

 

How the what? Klopp is kindness in a Fluttershy can and wrapped in an inadvertent fandom joke.

 

Zoop, I can see that.

I fear Feld0. Does he even require a badge? Just look at his smile and you will find true fear. You'll be lucky to be able to type as your hands shake uncontrollably.

i like how all the badges are so unique looking yet simple enough that none of them feel like they're of "superior" or "inferior" rank, despite them appearing account of different levels of posts. for example, i still have the Pony badge, and i think that the Phoenix and Cupcake badges are way more nifty looking than my plain ol Pony badge, even if you get a Phoenix badge for like 500 posts and a cupcake one for just about 50 posts!

 

they don't give off the same feeling of "superior" or "inferior" rank, simply, and don't differentiate other members "worth" from each other, like how other forums handle it. it's a good system.

It's kind of funny to be intimidated by how many others spammed the shit out of this forum

 

You should be intimidated on how many brohooves someone acquired instead :P

Absolutely.

 

In my experience, those with the higher badges, pretty much regardless what they post, garner respect and eventually carry weigh just by the mere fact alone they are posting.

 

As well, it has been bred into me to naturally fear admins and mods, because of my past experiences with mods and admins on other forums going very sour. They hold all the power, and I am a weakling. I fear having absolutely no power, but I learn to accept it. But let me tell you, nothing strikes more terror into my heart than seeing a mod or an admin (especially an admin) PM me or directly address me, regardless of whether their intent is anger or casuality. Sorry, mods and admins, but you guys really scare the hay out of me.

Actually, I was really scared of you when I first joined...

 

I don't know if it was your picture, your badge, or the two together, but you really scared the fuck outta me

 

Actually, you were when I first came to the forum. :D I gave your badge a too quick look and thought you were a mod. Then I saw two of your comment and it gave me an impression you are a total ruthless badass gangsta brony Gilda swagger guy. Then I found out you're so nice and we've lived happily ever after ;).

 

People were scared of me.

 

So much wut is going through my mind.

 

HOW IS CRONA SCARY? WHAT HAS CRONA DONE TO MAKE YOU SCARED OF HIM? D:

Because when you said something, others tend to agree with you.

 

That, and your post count is humongous

I don't mean to get others to agree with me, I just adore sharing my mind xD

And don't be intimidated with my lack of a life :P
