Welcome SERPENT7
We actually try to use the "Tier" to maintain the quality of this community, by halting immaturity from entering the more....sensative areas of TFP. Rookies are treated no differently than anyone else in here as a general rule, simply because we all know they have the likelyhood of helping us all learn and evolve in time. As far as the Clique metality....there are many in our little forum, and its not really a bad thing as they tend to overlap frequently....it is also inevitable in societal interaction, so why fight it.
Just enjoy this place for what it is, show respect for everyone, and they will return the favor. That is all we ask of anyone.
