Do forum posters change after a certain amount of time on the forums?

[Kantor]

1) I've been a member for just over a year. I've posted on a few forums before this, but they were single-game-specific.

2) Absolutely. I think through my posts more, I troll less, I am less of a fanboy, and even my opinions have changed (my first post stated that I thought CoD4 was an 8.5 at best)

3) More than I used to, definitely.

4) Yes. Generally, as you post more and spend more time on the site, you become a more balanced poster, and you troll less. It's why you see so few trolls above the 5000 mark, and none above 10,000.

EDIT: Also, if you troll too much, you're permabanned before you can get near 10,000.
