Hi guys. I really need your help for two research papers I'm writing on wotmania. This is part one. If you could take five minutes and fill out this survey, it would be incredibly helpful.

-What is your race?
white/caucasian
-Do you think that there is an explicit hierarchy at wotmania? If so, how does it break down?
explicit? no. implicit? possibly.
-Do you believe that there is a hierarchy at wotmania, but it isn’t officially noted by anyone? If so, how does this hierarchy break down?
there are people who i perceive to be of higher......'standing' is the wrong word. there are people who seem to be more respected than others; their advice is heeded more; they are usually people who post often, who post quality posts, people who have made a 'name' for themselves doing something specific(i wouldn't call wads's drunken spam quality posting, but it's definitely special). they're often also people who've been here a while, but not necessarily.
-Do the terms Elder, Midbie, and Newbie actually mean anything for a person, or is it just a title that establishes how long someone has been at the site?
ehm....i don't like the terms. it has to do with behaviour, not with time. personally, i think it's rather silly.
-Do you think that the admins on the site are in higher standing than the other members?
some are, some aren't. some admins are very respected, some less so. some non-admins are more respected than some admins.
-In your opinion, do those who post on the Community MB think that they are “better” than those on the WoT MB?
of course
-In your opinion, do those who post on the WoT MB think that they are “better” than those on the Community MB?
of course

regarding the last two questions: yes, but more jokingly. i think most people are aware that there is no such thing as 'better'.
Thank you.
you're welcome.
