Membershipism

[blahdu]

there is a certain limit to how much respect a member should get

i just asked someone to play find four with me
this is what happened

http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/921/membershipismkw6.png

i understand all the privilages a member should get
this has taken it to the next level

members get access to cool stuff for which they pay good REAL money
i have no prblem with that

but this it just takes it to the next level


The one thing that i absolutely hate is membership discrimination or membershipism

[John-h]

OUch, that's really discrimination, pretty much unfair for non-members -_-, at least I got Rick Astley's account :P He is Rickastley39

[Pengumaniac4]

Thats terrible,
I have loads of buddies that are non members and i still respect them the same.

But seriously that girl or boy, is probably new and just copys other people that discriminate non members.

[Jojobaba]

It's ok. Once I sent a sled-racing invite to this member 'cause I was bored... And he asked me to go away. I was like How rude! And he put me on his ignore list. Stupid members.

[Manty]

You are talking about this like every member is like this. This thread is about one specific person "discriminating" against non-members. Not every member is like this, you can't base a group by one individual. If this is about most or some members doing this please specify.

Also: Why a naruto post icon.

[Freebee93]

That is very rude. The person does have the right to have opinions though...-_-

[Penguin23]

I like being a member but thats the worst thing I want to see on club penguin. (seeing n00bs make fun of non-members)
Edit: Im nice to non-members
Edit2: I'll keep that in mind If I see that person I will throw snowballs at her/him :scootz:

[7Styl3]

Thats really rude. I don't care if ur member or not. They all SAME.

[Penguin23]

. Stupid members.
Hey Im trying not to flame you but if cp didn't have members. No club penguin.

[Banana]

Most of members these days think they are the best of all of us, just cause the paid some money.
Old days members were nice (such as me lol) they thought that all of the penguins are the same.
Most of non-members are cooler than members and more fun to chat with.

[Crispy Cobra]

Ignore that bit...Or just report her. :mad:

[New Guy]

Thats Pretty Bad I must Admit, but look at it this way. If she keeps that attitude she ( Sorry If it's a male ) will be the biggest loser in the end simply because no one would want to be friends with her. Obviously, thats a horrible way to act but maybe non members did that to her too and thats why she is acting this way at the time.

Besides, she is not even worth your attention.
-New Guy

[homsar]

I'v known members like this. they're so uptight because they think they're better than us because they pay 7 bucks a month to make a little penguin sprite look better. This discrimination has been a problem on the game before, but there is nothing that we can do about it, sadly-_-, We will just have to live with these certain individuals. But seriosly, it's just a game:rolleyes:

[_.-'[Not Like Pie]'-._]

Stupid members.
Not all members are like that. :| That's almost as rude as that dumb and rude member that started the thread.

[Guitar Hero]

That person is MEAN. It's just like saying I don't want to play a game with you because you have glasses. That's just awful.

[Salamli]

That person is MEAN. It's just like saying I don't want to play a game with you because you have glasses. That's just awful.

yep she's (or he) just being a bully I was a non-member for 3 days before I became a member( my mom wouldn't allow me to make a membership straight away lol) 2 poeple were bullying me coz i was a non-member! ITS JUST A STUPID PIXEL!!:mad:

[Flame_593]

She's just some Big Head! Just a stupid banana! I would eat her head off if I saw her in front of me!:mad:

[Orkish]

Yeah I know alot penguins like this.They are so rude to everyone and they just say look at my stuff im cool im rare.

[tobymacfreak]

Grr I really can't stand people like this.

About 90% of my buddys are non-members.

Do I feel better than them just because I pay a little money? No, of course not.

Infact I am a member, but I like non-members better because they don't always say: "Everyone look at me I am great!"

I am sorry but people like this make me really mad.

[Game Lord]

There are people who think that a game like Club Penguin should require people to pay to play. In fact, I think that there is nothing wrong with that. However, this is not like that; it is direct discrimination, and something should be done about it. The word 'member' should be blocked (but not someone banned for saying it, of course).

Yours sincerely,
Game Lord

P.S. Why did you use the Naruto tag for this thread?

Yeah, I agree with you 100.1%!

[High-Tech®]

It's a game ok? Who cares.

And wth does this have to do with Naruto?:scootz:

[Poison]

report them, not every member is like that by the way ;)
just tell them what was wrong with what they said, and if they understand, all's well ;)

[Game Lord]

It's extremely unlikely that they would repent just because they were told that they were being discriminative. They would probably need to be sat down by authority, lectured and explained about what they did wrong and why non-members are morally equal to members before they would except it and (even then only hopefully) change their ways.

The snobs of Club Penguin are, and will most likely be for a long time to come, snobs.

Yours sincerely,
Game Lord

[Icy Joe 8]

i am a member but I do not even care who I play games with, I don't even check whether it's a member or not. And its not like non-members are going to be bad people to play with just cause they don't pay to play Club Penguin:rolleyes:

[Kittens & Cats]

It's ok. Once I sent a sled-racing invite to this member 'cause I was bored... And he asked me to go away. I was like How rude! And he put me on his ignore list. Stupid members.

Maybe he didn't want to anyways? Yea, maybe that!

Not all people (penguin) are like this, you know? Maybe you were being discriminated because the one person doesn't like non-members? I would love to see Bell Girl's parents cancel her membership, because she clearly doesn't deserve it, but you have to face the facts, this is one person out of hundreds of thousands of players.

I have one thing to say: That Bell Gir is a MORON.

[Rebellion Bane]

:sun:Oooooh That's membercist...:sun:

[Ziek]

Though this thread is directed at one person, it is a problem through out Club Penguin. I am glad you brought it to our attention.

Although, not all Members are like this. I am not one of those non-member haters.

The fact that member's discriminate against non-members is berserk. Why woulld one be bias against people, when they haven't even met the person.It is not only unfair and rude, but it has gotten out of control.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. Labels mean nothing. "Non-member" is just a word or a label. All penguins should be treated equally, whether they pay or not. This goes the same for non-members. Don't complain about member's getting advantages.

This girl, Bell Gir is very prejudice against non-members. She doesn't even give it a chance to get to know Blahdu.

I know many penguins/people are getting fed up with this Non-member/ Member feud. It has got to stop, I can't tolerate it anymore.

It was never like this back in the day...what happened? :confused:


^Lord, that was long.^

[Allstar25]

Some members only care about themselves, not about other people, including nonmembers. It is so annoying when they do that. But the BEST thing to do is just ignore them. I mean, Club Penguin was made so you could have fun and get along with each other, not to be mean to other penguins. We are ALL equal.

[Josh1995]

I see this happen all the time with my friend I go where he is and him and his group are mean to non-members.

[Viper92107]

Thats to bad. But what ya gonna do? People are mean but you hvae to live with it!

[zeldarpwner]

I don't like racist penguins. Just report them for being mean and live with it.

Yes, it was like this back in the day, I was there watching it happen while you were in your igloo having that party I never got the invite to.

If you can't tolerate it, ignore, because it mostly happens here on these forums.

my mouse want wrong and it was a accident
anyways im not saying that all members are like this
most of the members i know very well who are willing to stand up to non members
im saying that this certain member crossed the border which holds the right amount of respect a non member should get


Thats Pretty Bad I must Admit, but look at it this way. If she keeps that attitude she ( Sorry If it's a male ) will be the biggest loser in the end simply because no one would want to be friends with her.

-New Guy

yup it is a female
(no i dont think the gender would make any difference)

[Manty]

Okay. Thanks for clarifying that. I would just ignore this if a person was discriminating against me. (i am a non-member) There are people like that in the world and unfortunantly you can't change that. Most people realize it is wrong but what I would do as said before is ignore it.

[Liquidfired]

That is so mean plus I bet everyone would like to play with you since you are pretty old in Cp and every Member wants to be my friend. I always say no to members but not forumers because one time a member treated me mean like non members suck. I really hate that person. That person said only members can come to my igloo. :mad: I got really mad and deleted all my member penguin except forumers. Now This! This really makes me T -Oed .:mad: Mean Members are onboard in Cp. Bellgirl should be baned forever. Members not forumers alway treat members down. maybe bellgirl is Less older in cp then you i mean items and days old not real life. Bellgirl should go down

[Biggyp]

I do not really think I have ever heard about that happening before. It is practically discrimination on Club Penguin. I know members get what they pay for, but they try to play by overpowering their own power.

[lebadoo]

if people say that just say,

i bought a new .... with the $.... i saved from not becoming a member on CP

but if they like what they get for being a member then thats fine by me

[ulcah1]

maybe bellgirl is Less older in cp then you i mean items and days old not real life.
she's a "speical" n00b. She thinks non-members are worthless well there not they make everything funner
not the hey look at me specail. The stupid speical as in the person is a moron and stupid

[Sk8er766]

wow...im a member but im one of the "old players". 296 days old! :O lol i just saw Bell Gir...shes/hes a non member now (i think). She/he was in the Town on Mammoth. Ppl on Mammoth are usually famous snobs. :rolleyes:

[Basketcase1]

That is so mean. I am a member but I would never, ever say that. That disgusts me. Non-members are just liek members, we live in the same world, we breathe the same air, so what's the point over being mean to non-members, we already have racism, which I hate, because it's so mean, but now, we have penguins shouting at other penguins just because they don't pay to play a game.

[Glopstane]

That is descrimination! And I do not do that! the only thing i think needs to be fixed (not talking about u blahdu) is when non members say u think ur better then us! well its kinda true that we are better just cuz we get more stuff and we actually pay ! But excluding someone from a game becuz they dont pay? bleh i wanna punch her:) lol

wow...im a member but im one of the "old players". 296 days old! Lol sorry to burst your bubble thats not old lol

[Purple Pirate]

Everyone deserves the same amount of respect unless they hack.

[Ollie]

I agree that members should be more respectful, i myself was a member but it ran out so im a non-member now. Though i never made fun of non-members when i was a member

[link4562]

wow. some people take membership too sereously. I hate people who discriminate others for not being as good as them

[Yoho99]

I treat non-members the same as members. They don't bite!! It's okay to talk with one. I have like a million non-member buddies. Some of them turned to members though..

[Gbarkley]

that is totally rude. im a member and i dont care if your a member or not. anyone who does is a jerk and deserves to get banned.:mad:

[Dannyboy]

"Paying to play for a childrens online computer game obviously makes me superior so therefore you must bow down to me no no shutup I'm better than you you noob go away.":rolleyes:

[Flipy Pengu9]

I agree that members should be more respectful, i myself was a member but it ran out so im a non-member now. Though i never made fun of non-members when i was a member

Same here. It's not right to make fun of people because they don't pay for an online game. People like that should be banned!:ban:

[Superspy4]

Most of my friends (in reality) are non-members, my sister is and my cousins are, I am a member, so are a few of my friends and my sister's freinds (Still in reality!)


(entering the game...) I do not have many freinds, I made a tonne today, but my computer crashed:( anyway, I have 5member friends, and 3 non-member friends!

However, the issue between members and non-members is getting a bit out of hand, I was at the lighthouse today, and on the ground were a load of non-members, and on the stairs were loads of members! they were literaly bombing each other! I joined the non-members because they were not doing very well, and I was called 'a stupid idiot on the wrong team!!!'

Members were the ones being mean and non-members were fighting back!

The thing is, in my experiance:
-Members are older and are therfore likely to be a bit wiser
-Non-members are usually younger and not as advanced.

I am not saying members are better, I am saying that they think they are best because they have big igloos, clothes, wigs and furniture, they pay for that,

They are paying to have unnesssecary fun!
non-members would have just as much fun, if the members didn't torment them and be mean when it comes to being buddies.

A small note to members Including me: Do not be nasty, mean or torment the non-members, give them a chance. Let them be your buddy, it makes everyone happy. Think about other peoples feelings.

Thankyou:cool:

Say no to discrimination, I do not do it, so you shouldn't either.

[woof_whitesocks]

-Members are older and are therfore likely to be a bit wiser

Not accurate:rolleyes:
You could join and become a member straight away like my real life friend.
And most beta testers are non-members too:rolleyes:

[BT06]

This post was really dumb. People post like this everyday. You can cry as much as you want about how members are 'mean' to nonmember, although nice thing can't even go through the chat filter. :mad::mad::mad:

[Superspy4]

Sorry, I am not saying that non-members are dumb - I was not trying to offend anyone, But most penguin play club penguin for a while (I have played for about 530 days on one penguin) and then make the dessision, My member penguin is about 175 days old, but I had been using a non-member penguin for over a year!:P

[biodue123]

Weird, (s)he was once a non-member, so he is basically calling himself lame, just ingore ppl like that.

[flip_flop_and_drop_it]

Dude, that is mean. I was a non-member for a month before I got a membership, so I know what it is like. I wouldn't be snooty because I pay a little bit more. If I see that person I will throw a snowball at them for you. [:

[Cool_Waddles]

That is just plain mean! A similiar thing happened to me. I asked a member to be my buddy and they said no way i only have members as my buddy! :( It is discrimination! :mad:

[RoCkWiRe]

O hated when people did that when i was a non member it made me soo upset I'm sorry you were treated like that man it's just sad how stuck up people can be-_-

[StarSkie]

someone has high hopes and is very stuck up lol i would have said yes :)

[Glopstane]

That is just plain mean! A similiar thing happened to me. I asked a member to be my buddy and they said no way i only have members as my buddy! :( It is discrimination! :mad:
Okay guys cool it down its just a game ur actin like its a national chrisis!:O

[1jim3bob]

I'm a member but i treat non-members with respect... most of the members on my my freinds list!

[Superspy4]

Everyone is equel, unless they pay to (think that they) be better now! non-members are still getting clothes and pins and backgrounds and puffles - members are paying for a bit more, which is not really that important!

Do not discriminate:rolleyes:

[-Torncity5]

i never really did know beell gir, but without fail he's arguing in mammoth all the time in the town.

[Yamadog27]

Wow I am a non-member and I get treated the same way.:| its getting old I think cp should make it against the rules for people to treat non-members this way.

[Torhakee]

Hmmm....
I have never been discriminated by non-member member thing,but penguin colour and clothes.I wanted to joina iceberg tipping party and all the penguins were green and i was yellow.They all told me to go away,but i didn't.Then they started calling me names,ect.

[Princess Kimono]

Thats just plain stupid for a member to act that way! What I mean is well non-members and members both have a right and even though non-members dont have clothing besides free clothing we should still respect them the way they respect us!:) Non-members do tend to be REALLY nice but sometimes if us members brag, they don't like that and well what I think is even if a non-member wants to be friends with a member or play a game with a member, we should accept that and either be their friends unless we have a full list, or play with them. :D

[Chandru]

That's even worse than membershipism. I don't see any reason why someone should think less of you because you haven't paid 20 imaginary coins to buy the green color.

I feel the same way about membershipism. You can't buy status on CP.

I have four words only for you Blahdu; Report. Ignore. Forgive. Forget.

It's as simple as that. :|

[Kittens & Cats]

Anyone who is STILL arguing over this has the mind of a four year old, or chooses to think that way.

Clubpenguin= game.
You guys + Clubpenguin= ???
You guys - Clubpenguin= No complaining.

[shortkid7t9]

OK if we are all going to act like 3 year olds just make a thread and then everyone can stop making pointless threads labled "Non-Member Discrimination". Its a game if that offends you or anyone in anyway well then I must say my sympathy goes out for you. Were penguins in a a young children game. Now if there racist in real life thats a different story, but in CLub Penguin about not playing find four that has nothing against anything(rule) or anyone. HEY I HAVE AN IDEA, ok this might be a shocker but howabout you pay and you can get equal rights !! yeah for everyone. I find it funny as when you guys say its discrimination its . . .

A) Never anybody on the forums we know.
B) Club Penguin :rolleyes::(:rolleyes:
C) Definetly could be scripted
D) Probably a kid who has not hit puberty yet...

Get a life.

[r i n a]

Crap, shortkid7t9 beat me to it. -_-

I was going to post a paragraph, but this should do.

For every ignorant player, There will be 10 other lonely people wanting to talk.

[Dq231]

This sucks. I hate how everyone thinks non members is a piece of crap. I dont think that, I have a few really good buddies that are non members. I treat non members like members, were all the same. This happened to me once, when I lost my membership. All my buddies seemed to turn on me:O becouse i was a non member:mad:. I would just report whoever did this, cuz its a form of bullying.
