Do you respect people with lower ELo?

I feel like most people dont respect opinions from people under 1800 elo here at lichess

As someone who is and likely always will be under 1800, I really hope no one takes my opinions seriously, because I'm usually wrong!

I do :-)
(I'm usually wrong as well...)

From my experience, in the otb club world people start respecting your opinion when you hit 1900 elo (otb rating).

Also, once you are over 1900 elo, your "scalp" becomes wanted to lower rated players, also losing to you is no longer shamefull to 2000-2200 rated players.

1800 elo (otb), is usually a solid, but an unimaginative player (I don't inlcude here the up and coming 1800+ players, who will soon break 1900 elo). So 1800 elo doesn't get so much respect.

This is just based on my own experience, in the otb club scene of my small home country.

People care too much about rating, in general.

You have to be 2000+ to be respected in this site. I saw a forum that said: only serious players here, only 2000+. But to be really respected you have to be around 2100+.

Imo everyone deserves the same respect. But when discussing games, moves or positions I am more likely to listen to the opinion of a high rated player than a low one, as they are more likely to make any sense. But overall rating is simply a measure of your chess skill, and it doesn't translate to anything else. GMs aren't smarter or better people than others.

FMs on the other hand are the best.

#7 I agree on the FM part (Kreygasm).

#6 People "respect" according to their own rating. I dont think any of the top 10 would take chess opinions from a 2100 Lichess guy seriously. But 2100 guys are obviously very good players compared to most players online (Not FMs obviously).

Es obvio que los de mayor rank van a ser mas respetados y tomados en cuenta, y no se trata de menosprecio al menor si no de sentido comun.
