I see where you're coming from. There is social hierarchy on the forums. But not towards rankless people. The hierarchy is towards the new people. A lot of forum members don't see how they effect the new members. When you made the skele-ton joks on your profile, antra said its not funny. But if it was a different member, he would probably like it, or at least not say it.
All you need to do when there's a situation like this, is to ignore.
You can also say things like: "oh, sorry, I didn't know it's not funny. I guess I missed it when I read the 'what's funny' rules" I do it sometimes. That shows that you know what's behind their words.
There is little, if any rankism anymore. Used to, many people bought VIP just so they wouldn't be bullied. Now, relatively all VIPs treat non-VIPs fairly. Please do not accuse us of being rankist when we are not.
