There is a huge difference between someone who is trying to get good grades in school, and someone who spends five hours per day on the Mineplex forums trying to become a staff member. But I can agree with you on that superficial behaviour just for the sake of appearing better – be it in school, be it on Mineplex – is annoying.
mineplex kids are a bunch of insecure middle schoolers who base their self worth on whether they have mod or ultra or whatever new rank mineplex has come out with now.
