No. Nononononononononono. insomniasexx if you disagree with me then please speak up once you read this....but please, please, please don't call people power-users or Hubski celebrity's. We're all just people, some of whom work on this great site, but in the end we're all using in roughly the same way.
Ha. Power user, that's hilarious. It naturally takes a bit for people to understand the culture here and to realize that this is its own place. The idea that interactions in the community aren't tied to some sort of competition is foreign to most people. But I agree with you and ButterflyEffect we are all just people having conversations.
It also takes time and effort to make enough quality posts to gain followers, so hopefully the lack of instant gratification will deter the people that just want followers. If not, well, there's always the ignore button.
It will. We've gone through this several times now but it helps to steer people in the right direction.
