Are you a respected member?
I respect them until they give me reason not to'
That's how I look at it.
I am all about having respect for those who come along until they give me reason not to.
as for what I think about it......I look at those with high post counts and those who have been members of fabo for some time and I think they may just know a thing or two.
I look at seller/buyer review ratings and good guy alerts to know if a member is trustworthy and I also base my respect on people that way aswell (not completely base my respect off that but it does play a factory if I see someone has bad guy alerts or bad reviews because it says alot about someones character).
I also gain ALOT of respect from those who stand up to help those who are in need....rather it be someone is having trouble paying bills or is losing their house or rather it be someone new to working on mopars has a question and someone steps up and puts full effort into giving as much info on it as possible. I have been on both ends of "the stick" in these situations here on fabo and it really says alot about a person.
those who are very knowledgeable about the things they talk about need no introduction because its easy to see those people are not new to the game when you see the things they have to say about a particular subject.
I personally would have to say that I think what makes a member transition through certain "ranks" if you will is (kindness,helpfulness,caring,funny,respectful, knowledgeable ) and the list can go on.....its a hard question to pin point down to a science.
I would consider myself a respected member.....I don't know everything but if I see something that I can chime in on I will try to help when I can. If a good cause comes up and I can afford to make a donation ...I jump on board, I enjoy the hobby and love seeing what others do with what they are building, I enjoy the friends I have made and I have learned alot in the time I have been here.
I think there is no definitive answer to the question I have asked lol but oh well.
