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?
Caucasian (that's how you spell it, right? White)
-Do you think that there is an explicit hierarchy at wotmania? If so, how does it break down?
Umm... well, there's wotmania, then the admins, and then the elders, and then we midbies who like to think we're above the Newbies when we're not, and then the Newbies.
-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?
Umm... there might be a heirarchy within the admins, but I couldn't tell you what it would be.
-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?
I think some take pride, yes. I was pretty ecstatic when I figured out I was a midbie, and I figure I'll be the same when I become an elder.
-Do you think that the admins on the site are in higher standing than the other members?
With some issues, definitely. But otherwise, I think they're at about the same level as Elders.
-In your opinion, do those who post on the Community MB think that they are “better” than those on the WoT MB?
I don't...
-In your opinion, do those who post on the WoT MB think that they are “better” than those on the Community MB?
I didn't/won't (I'm not posting there atm, but that's because I haven't finished CoT).
Thank you.
No problem
