If it were a CEman who created the fake PM, I wonder if there would be any threads questioning how it would affect all the CEmens reputation and credibility
That depends, CE has about 20 "good" users or so IMO.
Then it has a TON of "mediocre" users
Then it has the bottom of the barrel shitty users like Hoth & gunplagirl.
If you were "good" and did that, it would take a lot to remain a "good" poster, you might be bumped down to mediocre.
If you were "mediocre" it would depend on who you were fucking with and what the context was. Likely to be taken down to "bad"
In the case of Say I considered her one of the "good" posters so it kinda sucked that she basically setup someone on CE like that. It wasn't something I would have expected her to do so it really disappointed me....
EDIT: Even if the person she setup was a angry asshole
But of course I am just some random user on CE so my opinion means very little in the grand scheme of things.
I dunno, I have the feeling that if Say were a well-liked male, most people would have been talking about how funny that trolling was.
Maybe Im jaded because I recall when someone pulled something super nasty to me on CE (way worse than what Say did), lots of people thought it was mighty hilarious. But that was old CE so maybe things have changed.
NO I would say CE is probably just as shitty as it always was, possibly even more hateful towards women these days...
I can only speak for myself on this matter though. ---
