| I only don't put them there, because they suck. |
| I know I already posted here but I re-read the thread again. Are there really that many who do this? I think aside from the aforementioned katsucats, I can't recall another one doing it. That being said, I really don't know so enlighten me? |

| So does anyone do this aside from the aforementioned katsucats? Actual links/screencaps please. |
 |
| Not like every country has the same education system anyway, let alone grading Either way why would anyone care about that? |
  |
| Yeah, well it's like saving up all your star-writer stickers you keep getting and putting them on your schoolbag. People are going to be impressed somewhat by the array of achievements but they're also going to think you're pretty smug with some need to stand out. You might as well wear a badge saying "I am better than you - suck on that". But this is common sense, OP, don't you think by making a big deal of it that you're giving people a chance to wind you up? People don't have to be making a serious statement by putting the grades up. Obviously Katsu's proud of those good grades, but it's also probably just trollbait for people dense enough to take it too seriously. |

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. To tell the truth, its just people's attitude towards 'grades' that makes people think its something bad. Ok, here's the thing: -A musician works hard on a track and puts his work in his about me. MAL: wow cool you're awesome! -A no-life weaboo spends years trying to collect the most sexually stimulating pictures and put it in his about me. MAL: thanks man you saved my life. -A kewl teenager puts his best memes on his profile that he spent months trying to come up with. MAL: LOL m8 8/8 And the list goes on. But when someone puts his grades up, that guy suddenly becomes an egotistical faggot. Grades are just another 'achievement'. If someone puts them up, it merely tells you what kind of person they might be irl. MAL might be dedicated to anime but its a lot more than that. In conclusion: putting up your grades in your about me is just as much a choice as putting up porn is. If people judge you for that, its their problem but don't say that its 'irrelevant' or whatnot.

Grades are just another 'achievement' Difference is those other things you listed others can enjoy, you listen to the song and if you like it you say good job sounds good. Putting your high grades up is for one reason alone, to brag. It doesn't involve anyone else its just look at how great I am or how much smarter i must be than most of mal. and beyond that as others have said, nobody actually cares. We can care about music, we don't care how smart someone is, it doesn't hold any ground when it comes to been likable or making friends. This is Mal you don't need to be an egghead to get respect or be liked, its not a brain measuring contest its a mix of people from all walks of life. Last thing we care about is your grades. |

I'll speak for myself: I don't enjoy most of the stuff people put on their profiles. Anyways, intellect is the most preferred traits when it comes to making friends - for me. Though, I'll make friends with everyone but really, this should sum it up: In conclusion: putting up your grades in your about me is just as much a choice as putting up porn is. If people judge you for that, its their problem but don't say that its 'irrelevant' or whatnot. |

Olwen said: Involtus said: Are all your posts here subtly related to this fued? Nope, I've seen other people do it too (to a lesser degree, Archangels). Okay, well... I'll address the OP better. As I'm not familiar with foreign school systems, the grades and the classes don't translate to a lot for me. Maybe if somebody was from my own country then I would find it interesting to spot that we had chosen to study the same things. It is not bad to write about your grades just because it's not incredibly engaging for me though though... If I am on a person's 'about' page then I am there to learn about what is important to the person. Even if it takes up a lot of space just to say 'I am this good at school!': it teaches me that school is one of the things that matters to them. School mattering to someone isn't a terrible thing, and maybe it helps them to succeed if they feel like they need to uphold a standard for other people. So I don't mind too much. |

| Depends. Different things hold different values. We don't ask questions considered impolite, such as what grades you got, the value of your car, or anything related to certain achievements such as wealth. Spouting these to strangers seems rather odd and pathetic, which is why some people revile it. We believe this things should remain private lest others feel a lack of confidence in their own SAT scores. |

Anyways, intellect is the most preferred traits when it comes to making friends Well personally I don't actually like any profiles its just space filler and a lot of people use ugly pink text (im looking at you fake girls) but speaking for myself whenever I see grades as the focal point I can't help but feel this person is calling attention to their ego but maybe thats personal I don't like the idea of grades defining a person. In all honesty out of all the things on Mal profiles are not even worth talking about because everyone has one, everyone writes sh*t nobody reads and nobody cares about anything anyone else has to say anyway. |

| I'm not doing that, it's pointless for me. |
| It doesn't bother me if they do that lol. I just won't read it. I would never put my grades up though. I'd rather not have people laugh at my bad grades lol. :p |
| Doesn't bother me at all. People can post whatever they want on their profile. |
 |
| Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait... FUCKING WAIT. Do people actually do that? |
| The question this thread poses, in my opinion, is whether people are insecure for showing off their grades, or whether people are projecting their insecurities when they project non self evident values over them? At least for me, it shows who I would never associate with: when academics are pathetic in your value system, we're most likely going to be in 2 different worlds. IMO, you're the same people that would've called singing gay a decade ago. |

Cottonrabbit said: I thought the mods would delete this thread as it is clearly aimed at one user. While I rarely agree Katsucats, I don't see why it matters if he chooses to post his grades. Why would I care what a stranger puts in their profile? It is far more pathetic to start a thread designed to encourage a mass criticism or mean comments about a user you don't like. Seriously, how many times do I have to say this? I've seen other users talk about their grades, how smart they are, how good of a student they are etc. as well. This isn't dedicated to katsucats at all, though he is a good example of it. |

Nah that's bullshit this is definetly aimed towards him OT: I don't really care what people put on their profile (unless its dick pix cuz I've seen that on someone's profile before). If they are so proud of themselves that they want to show it off so be it. I see no reason to care about it. |
| I've seen a couple of other users with their grades on their profiles while I was stalking lurking random profiles before. It doesn't seem to be too common at least, though. |

Things like that by social law usually remain private. |

razor39999 said: Obsession going on here? And putting grades up on the profile is pretty much as legit as putting your anime stat distribution or random facts about your life, etc. Whatever. I don't know. I have a fact people would criticize me if I put my dick size on here. |

2-methylgeniol said: 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. I am yet to see you displaying your grades publicly on an animelist website. Does this mean your grades aren't good enough as well? Your logic is absolutely flawed and just in turn makes you a hypocrite. It's obvious that the motivation someone would have to put their grade evaluations up on an animelist site would be to demonstrate to the group of the myanimelist community that they are not stupid. In any case, why might they need to demonstrate that? Obviously..because they are deemed to be stupid by the Myanimelist community. Please put some thought into the things before you decide to post them, 2-methyl... |

| Yeah 3rd page. People can put whatever the hell they want on their damn About Me. And since I asked a page back for some evidence that anyone other than the aforementioned Katsucats does this, and I've gotten none, I'm gonna assume now this thread really is a giant potshot towards Katsucats. |
