DISCLAIMER:
ive compiled the types of members on GBAtemp
Ok, this is solely based on MY opinion so dont come in here to say something like "omfg thats retarded and incorrect"
because frankly, i dont really care if you think is inaccurate
here goes (this took me awhile. also, im probably missing a whole chunk but ill be adding more. maybe. or if you guys come up with good ones):
Staff Members
The basic foundation of the rule enforcers of the community. Always friendly, willing to help, and often misunderstood for power abuse. They get angry (as do i) when members complain about the tight (and almost nonexistent) censorship.
The Joker
The comical relief for the forum. There are many types.
1. WhySoSerious? Jokers: These members are always trying to crack a joke, or post some random crap up for laughs. it isnt always successful, but is mostly amusing to the rest of the community. They rarely discuss games.
2. LOLIRL Jokers (Laugh Out Loud In Real Life): These are the truly funny people (not that WhySoSerious ones arent funny). They're not trying excessively hard to be funny, but they make you laugh out loud. really
3. hahahaNO Jokers: The worst kind. They try hard to be funny but end up getting flamed or ridiculed for their stupidity. These can be mistaken for WhySoSerious Jokers and vice versa.
The Flamer, Troll, Douchebag, Jerk
The worst part of a forum. You know one when you see one. Always says negative and derogatory comments about games, other people, and/or ideas. Shoots down other's genuine concern/questions and responds to everything with a flame. Extremely volatile so leave all your flammable posts elsewhere out of their sight!
The Know It All..not really
The snob. The person who thinks they know everything. The idiot who thinks he/she is better and smarter than everyone else on the forum. They are SO wrong. Everyone else sees their ignorance and haughtiness and laughs in disgust.
The Noob (I hate to make a stereotype like this, but it has to be done)
There are so many kinds its really hard to name them all
1. The Useless Noob: The really really stupid noob that you want to smash their face into the screen. They ask a question that has long been answered or just one that is really. really. dumb. People smack their heads against the walls because of these kind of noobs. VERY VERY flamable.
2. The Innocent Noob: These are the genuine noobs. They ask normal questions that people would ask if they were new to the scene. They thank the people who help them and move along the way. These are the good noobs.
3. The Ecstatic Noob: The overly-excited-never-been-on-a-forum newcomer. They tend to post a lot of new topics saying the same thing or with a lot of exclamation points with CAPSLOCK on.
4. The Lurker Noob: The peeps that have 1 post because they only registered to ask that question
The Gender Confused
The tricky member. Could be anyone. Pretends he/she is the opposite gender for unclear reasons: whether to conceal their true identity, to prevent from being treated differently, to be an attention whore, or just for fun.
The Helpful Almost Magazine Staff Members
The normal members who help out with staff. They post a lot of submitted news and new releases.
The Hackers
Some of the most cool people that help out with the scene. Whether it be translating the roms for it to be playable by all, or creating codes and patches for games. They are always on top of things, releasing patches in a few hours after the game is out, or spending a lot of time translating and text editing. Their work is sometimes underappreciated and overlooked, but they should know that all members are thankful for their time and effort.
The Braggart
The showoff that people roll their eyes at. "HEY GUISE LOOK WHAT I DID" or often brag about what they have done, how many games they have played, how many consoles they have. Nobody cares.
The Attention Whore
The drama queen. Every member has a little bit of this in them. some more than others. makes a big deal out of small things. tries hard to impress, or get people to fathom their pretentious glory.
The Prick
Ouchy. Disliked by many members, but havent really done anything against the rules to get them banned, suspended or in trouble. Has high views of themselves. Doesnt particularly care about anyone else except themselves. Makes posts that, in some subliminal way, insults a group of people or a certain person. They have very biased.
The Norms
They're so normal theyre abnormal. Just the regular, average Joe. Doesnt make too big of an impact on the community (good or bad). Is here solely for the gaming info and not really into participating in the IRC, or other topics unrelated to gaming. Serious.
TheCouldBeButIsnt Staff Member
One of the most helpful members of the forums. Always replies to noob questions in a nice manner, not insulting or condescending. Provides thorough explanations and informs precisely and accurately. Almost never seen mad, or pissed off at any types of questions, no matter how stupid or silly. The model members other should look up to. Unbiased in their understanding and doesnt scare the noobs away.
The Whiner
The annoying picky person. Complains at everything. This here is done wrong and That there needs improvement yadda yadda. Stands by and criticizes while everyone else is working hard to correct. The talker but definitely not the walker. In some weird way, they believe that they are the masterz of the forumz and can order people around. Points out faults, but doesnt make any effort to change it.
The Hypocrite
What a blasphemer. Tells people to do this and do that, but fails to follow their own advice. Points out faults of others when they themselves have even greater faults.
Well, that's all i could think of for now (been working on it for a few days in my ws)
Also, please dont ask me which member you best fit. thats not why i wrote this
