I personally don't see the need to show off like that on an online community.

Never seen anything... but just to annoy you guys, I ended high-school with an average or 14 and I graduated uni with an average of 15. I'm so updating my profile to include this piece of vital information.

Perhaps if it was an academic based forum it would be alright, but otherwise it just seems extremely weird and out of place. Especially on a forum for anime.

People do that? I've seen character lists that take two years to load and a bunch of stuff about how they rate anime and how they don't want to be bothered by stalkers, but I haven't seen grades yet. That's depressing.

Plus, school grades don't really mean much. Even college grades don't matter online. Isn't everyone a super-genius with an IQ of over 200 and an EQ of -25?

There's nothing "wrong" with it. It's just that no one gives a fuck.


You could say that about pretty much anything people do on the internet (including posting on forums), yet millions of people still do it.

I see no problem with it. If someone's putting up his grades on HIS profile, let him. It's his profile. People put up their club cards, banners and whatnot- at least putting up your grades will let other people know you're not dumb.

If you're salty because someone else puts up his grades on MAL then it probably means your grades aren't good enough to to be displayed publicly.

It might not indicate that. But its at least a good indicator that you are intelligent to some proportions.

Grades one got in school, etc.

It's in a scale ranging from 1 to 20. So... 15 would be 75%. In a F to A system, I guess it would be a B, maybe?

Depends on the system, but it's a solid C in American universities.

Well, I don't know how that system works, you may be right, but if grades were divided equally, you would have:

F: 0,00 - 16,67%
E: 16,67 - 33,33%
D: 33,33 - 50,00% (fail)
C: 50,00 - 66,67% (pass)
B: 66,67 - 83,33%
A: 83,33 - 100,00%

75% would be solid B. That's why I said, maybe B, but I'm not American and I have no idea about how it works.

I don't see why you'd need to show off your grades to anyone in an informal setting. I can't help but feel that they're proud and just bragging, or trying to prove themselves for some reason. Newsflash: nobody cares.

I didn't think that anyone would care, but apparently everyone in this thread cares. After all, why would anyone judge against things they don't care about? It's like, "Hey, look at that sponge that doesn't occupy my mind whatsoever. It's so self-absorbed and pathetic. I can't resist commenting and applying values to it even though I'm not thinking about it at all. It's like I have a delegate robot twin feeding me their thoughts, which are actually my own."

What's exactly 'personal' about grades?

Last I know, my grades were put up on the notice board in the fucking school along with 20 other students'. If that's personal, then I don't know what's 'public'.

I deem it extremely pathetic. Here you are on an anime site where people discuss anime and you are putting your academic performance on there. What your parents and friends didn't give a shit about it and so you got to flaunt it on MAL?

It would be like the equivalent of someone putting up their salary in the "about me" section of their profile.

Goes to show you that some of the most socially awkward weirdos frequent this site and their lives are so bankrupt of normalcy that they have to resort to dumb shit like this.

Usually, I find your posts really agreeable, but I think this time you don't know what you're talking about.

First off, MAL maybe an anime site but it sure as hell provides a plethora of other utilities ; to give you an example: it comes fully packed with commenting/PM system that allows 'socializing'. And people do socialize a lot on here. If your usage of the site is limited to just updating your list or browsing the forums, then do other people a favor - don't impose your usage of the site on others. There's a reason why the 'about me' section is called 'about me'. You can put whatever the heck you want in there. If people aren't ridiculed for putting third class memes that has nothing to do with 'about me' then I don't know why they should be called out for putting up their grades.

Its kind of funny that of all things, MAL chooses grades to be its personal 'taboo'. A community that's perfectly fine with pedophilia, incest and God knows what other degeneracy is creeped out by none other than the 'GRADES'. Sasuga MAL...

As I said you can put whatever the hell you want but doesn't mean it is out of place and just weird. I frequent a forum that anime versus battles and a guy literally put his put stub on his profile. It was quite frankly embarrassing because he thought people would take his opinion more seriously. This is equivalent of that. Let me not get started on the numerous fake transcript sites that are available and so none of this should be taken seriously.
