We are now on the third page of this thread and Funke never returned to answer any of the questions that were asked here. He never offered any examples of the abuse and bullying he experienced or noticed that it was happening against other users. If you create a discussion, you usually come back to it and participate in the exchange of opinions. The way it looks now, OP isn't interested in that. So, did you start this thread just for the sake of starting a thread or what was the purpose?

What a load of bullshit, and the bad thing is that it's not crazy what the OP is saying, it's just commonly held beliefs. OP, read what happened with the Edict of Diocletian, which people throughout history have tended to forget and repeat.

In another way, governments should be the producers of some of these products , the distributor and retailer of these products in order to drag down the monopoly of the private hands.

Pure and hard Communism, that is, the political theory that the more it fails and the more millions of deaths it produces, the more popular it becomes. Leaving the means of production in state hands and taking them away from private initiative has had the same result, identical, in all the countries where it has been carried out: extreme poverty, famines, exodus, political-psychopathic repression and millions of dead.

This and many more are examples of insults and bullying by legendary members to express their point which they feel is better than the points of newbies. I never wanted to remember them , that was why I kept the thread going to see whether others have had the same experience. The thread was actually created for legendary members to also see what others are saying about their behavior then have a change of approach to public discussions. I know I am newbie, I am ready to learn but no through insults and bullying. Thank you for requesting for proof.

I have keenly noticed that, some members of the forum like the legendary members do not have good choice of words in expressing their thought , outside abusive choices of words or words that sounds like bullying.

The most abusive forum members as I have noticed are the legendary members. I noticed it in their replies to posts or contributions to posts.

Do we agree that it is a feeling of pride that they have superior knowledge on issues than others because of their ranking?

Not all but I definitely agree with you especially on users that is obviously spamming the forum with nonsense topics and comment.

You won’t blame them since they already encountered many problematic user. So it’s either you will grow a thick skin to just ignore them or let their words sink in to destroy your self confidence. Just improve along the way and don’t make their words control you. Most importantly improve yourself if the problem is you because they are just correcting you in their own negative harsh way.

Legendary members being abusive in words or not(which I doubt they are), but one thing is for certain, they either want to correct the newbie for what they don't know or get wrong.

A newbie should not allow the words of legendary members to get to them, as this will negatively impact their stay on the forum and cause them to stray from their primary goal of learning about and gaining an understanding of cryptocurrency.

Since this is a public forum, everyone is free to express their opinions as long as they pass information that other ranked members or newbies will find understandable.

I don't agree with what the OP said, and it seems like his mentality is too weak. This is a public forum that you should know, study and understand before saying something that I think is not true.
And what I know is that they are just firm, that doesn't mean they are impolite like you said and I think they are good and also always provide good directions or solutions because their job is to ensure that this forum remains of high quality. And they can also educate members under them and new members to be better in everything in this forum so that it remains well maintained, and can also become good successors like them.
And what you need to know is that they will be strict if a member makes a mistake or is not good enough to violate the forum rules. And they will be kind if there are new members or subordinates who are good and don't make the slightest mistake, because it will have fatal consequences because they want this forum to remain high quality and also continue to be popular. And they are right as you say for no apparent reason, this forum will not continue to be popular and be the best forum as most people say.

It's good to not base your judgement on just a few interactions with the higher ranked members because that would mean you are generalizing. Just as the others have said, it's a public space where people are entitled to how they talk and according to a link that was provided that gave us insight to why this thread was created, it's quite obvious you weren't pleased by how one user may have responded.
, probably his opinion didn't match what you wanted hence you decided to go on a rampage, calling out the higher ranks. You might be right on your observations but then it's not just the higher ranks alone. From what you've posted here, it shows you too are emotional and is taking it personal, don't you think?
If a matter seems a bit disturbing to you, or you find that a user was not civil in his approach to you, why not do the most civil thing and air your grievances via PM instead of creating a thread. What do you hope to achieve? The defaulter apologizing and promising to change his ways?
Dude, this is a public space so people can say things how they see it and it's up to you to take it in good stride or ignore.

We all have a share of that not only legendaries I had a lot of encounters with newbies and many of them gave me bad words when I was just correcting their errors of abusing the forum rules, and also it's not good to single out without giving samples of what you are calling abuse, this is an open forum as long as the discussion does not go to threat, people should go along with it, you can choose to ignore the member that does this or just move and do not engage.
I haven't seen any personal attacks so far all are just for the sake of discussion.

I haven't noticed that from a user yet, but it all depends on how you react or feel about a specific response given to you by the user, regardless of their rank in the forums. It is good to be nice to people when responding to them, but because this is not moderated in the forum, you either learn from it or leave them alone. It could be their way of life, their own way of expressing themselves, or their reactions to a question or discussion. I don't see this as a problem because you agreed to join a public forum and learn here. Accept the correction and learn from the critics.

That’s also my perspective on that. It can’t be avoided that there will be a bargain of behaviors in the forum as we are raised from different cultures, some might be soft in their words and some might be used on using tough words, but it’s not really an issue unless if you give meaning to those. And the fact that we are dealing with a public forum, expect the unexpected. But the main focus here is learning, so most likely if that’s the best way they can express their own opinions or ideas, then you can’t do nothing about it but just learn from them.

I would suggest you to read posts of many Legendary members before making a conclusion. The Legendary members or even high ranked legendary members are very good in nature but surely it's a free forum and anyone can speak what they want to speak.

Most of the forum members try to avoid conflicts and don't really argue with those whose opinions they don't like and trust me most of such users are Legendary members. If a newbie goes to lending board and ask for a loan without providing any collateral then should Legendary members should not reply to such users?

If someone who isn't aware of things in proper way and comes to share the knowledge with others even if he/she doesn't know the things properly then you think that person will get a positive response? I would say no, so that's why you should read more members of the forum before making your mindset.

If you really think that the Legendary members are egoistic or rude due to their ranks then kindly share some details about the members that you think are more egoistic due to their knowledge. If you're someone alt account then you should gather some courage and post from your real account.

I agree with those who requested for an example of these "abuse" that you are referring to. A lot of the younger generations are simply too green and may have been shielded from the harsher realities so they easily get hurt if someone use profanities. Even being straightforward and telling a statistical fact like "you are fat" is considered as shaming or abusive nowadays. Thin-skinned.

Not actually pride but let’s just say that these legendary members are highly experienced already that they become very practical as well. They don’t have to beat around the bush since it’s only a waste of time, but stick to the point where it is needed. And if you say they are using words that are quite offensive or rude to others, I guess you have to not expect kind words all the time since the world itself is even tough. Sometimes, for us to get the point easily, we need not hurtful words actually but short and precise words that will leave an impact to everyone.

when you make some sort of complaint without any valid reference link to the original post, it makes me feel like the person you're tryna summon is even right for being a little bit cruel ( ofcourse if the case is what @lovesmay described below, then that wasn't cruelty).. pin down that point!

Way I see it, every community has its share of troublemakers. Placing the blame solely on one group is neither fair nor accurate. We all gotta do our part to keep things respectful - newcomers and veterans alike. And I don't think its fair to say that those legendary members act like they're better than everyone else. They got that status by helping out a lot on here. Maybe you just had a bad experience with one person who happened to have a high post count and legendary rank, but I wouldn't generalize and say they all have a superiority complex though. That's harsh and probably not true for most of the longtime, dedicated members around here.

You make an incredibly reasonable point! No matter what their standing, there will always be a small percentage of inappropriate behavior in each group. A few bad apples doesn't mean that everyone who has been in the community for a long time is like that. Nor does it suggest that everyone who has been around for a long time is like that. It's crucial, in my opinion, to keep in mind that there are always going to be some people who don't speak for the group as a whole and to wait for everyone to exhibit their genuine selves before drawing conclusions. Perhaps the original poster had a negative encounter with a single individual, but that doesn't suggest that everyone with a large number of posts or legendary status will be that way.

I guess it depends on the energy you bring to this this place and who sees your posts. If you are negative and criticizing, you will surely be met by the same energy from the other side. I have never seen a normal conversation turn into bullying and abusive behavior without a reason. If you have some examples of that, do show us and let's figure out what happened. Generally, you are not going to get attacked by normal members of the forum (regardless of rank) if you don't give them any reasons to attack you.

There's no doubt that the energy you bring to a room can affect how other people see you. You're accurate, I believe, that talks don't typically turn into aggressive or bullying conduct unless provoked. It's likely that there was something that caused someone to feel assaulted or insulted. People are generally more inclined to react positively to the energy they are given, however there will always be exceptions.

Adding to that, with which I totally agree, it clearly depends on the person's character and, of course, being a legendary doesn't make you a better person. There may be people who hide behind their rank.

However, there is a great button right below every user's avatar that says "Ignore". If you press it, you will never see this person's posts again.

This is a public forum so you don't expect people to behave the way you want. Members are free to express themselves the way they want and if you are not comfortable with that you can just ignore them. However, I think your observation is untrue because there are legendary members who express themselves meekly and understandably. You might have issues with the response of some legendary members but it will be wrong to generalise your experience. You don't expect members to be clapping for you when you are doing something wrong. You might be criticised and corrected so that you can learn from your mistakes. If you think this set of experienced members is proud, you might not learn from them because you will always feel intimidation or oppressed.

Agree with you mate as this is an open forum that everyone has a freedom of speech we can not control Their emotions once they feel better in that way of posting or when they are expressing Their ideas then we can not blame them as their words touches some of us here in our community. But anyways if everytime they post is not against the rules and regulations here in our forum then nothing we really worry about. Unless They used some bad words or else deathreats.

I advise you to look away my friend, since the forum supports some excesses where some people would be using vulgar words unchallenged, there is no way something like this will not happen. Frankly, some are very rude and are trollers, but it would be unfair to generalise them as it is a few of the high-ranked members who do that. Some will even start arguing with a mere excerpt where what they are actually urging is the same as yours but is inside the main body which they ignored. That is laziness to read, but are perfect in thought, nevertheless, they are the most appreciated. Even the world is not balanced, so live by it.

Of course, this is pride that shows the lack of self-control and uncultured attitude and it is emboldened by too much freedom. It would have stopped if the forum frowned at it. Most of them can't tell me that this is how they were abusive and unfriendly from the beginning when they were junior in rank. They were only later intoxicated.

As it is, this is a public forum, just connect less emotionally so that they will not get into you. It's not just worth it.

Regardless of the account ranking, basically every user is different. You should accept differences of opinion and other people's ways of presenting things, but if you don't like them because you're offended, then put them in your ignore list. In this forum we come from various countries and different cultures and this is what makes this forum even more unique. The great thing is, forums give you freedom of speech, but not bullshit.

I was treated badly by a legendary member only once, but I believe he was having a bad day.

Sometimes new get hurt by some people and they don't even know they were being harsh on us but we feels offended, this is life, but we should know that this is not part of what the forum is made up of, we can only experience this occasionally since we are dealing with people from different backgrounds.

You're right, there's this individual differences we have from each other, you can't expect everyone to be the same as you do.

this is a public forum that comprises of individual with different background and their mode of response to issues differs.

I some newbies reacting negatively asking that his account be deleted just because he feels some things going on in the forum doesn't go down well with him. Should we now conclude that all newbies are impatience with their growth in the forum just because one of the newbie misbehaved in the forum?

If for any reason you've seen a legendary member of the forum react in an abusive way toward you or any lower ranked member, it's possible that because they've stayed long in the forum, they've seen attitude like that of the newbie constantly repeating itself in the forum and at some point, it will get to them and they might react negatively. I'm not justify their action but I feel it's normal even in the circular world for an elder to correct the younger and in the process of rendering the correction, some elders might resort in the use of force or abusive means to correct the younger person. You are not to be totally angry at them but you're to understand that the Essene of the statement is to correct you and make you a better member of the forum.
