User Group Bias

User Group Bias, is a phenomenon when a user will be biased about another user based on their user group. (Ex. Someone thinks of an Ub3r as higher than a l33t, without seeing the posts of either user.) This phenomenon has been observed many times and it is thought to be prevalent throughout Hackforums. Users that are not ub3r usually have lower reputation than users that are ub3r. This phenomenon could also extend to custom user groups.
