I generaly don't see forums as a power game. I get along better with forum members who have been around longer and who generaly don't behave like a retard. But I don't see them as my superiour or something. Just becouse someone has seven stars and I have 4, or of someone is a moderator, doesn't make me respect that person any more then he/she deserves. If I think someone is a retard, I'm likely to just say that when the situation permits it.
Building up respect is something you do all the time. Not just on forums and not just online. ou try to build respect at work, at home and at the bar as well.
I think there is a certain amount of people here who have earned their respect fair and square. But no, I don't think being on a forum is the same as a game.
