"Tub" (an analogy to "mnu" :) ) can't even be corrected. He's right, the devil :)!
From experience, I know that the more you communicate, show up, and make friends, the faster people will recognize you, the more respected you become, and the more people will listen to your opinion. And this depends not only on the number of awards and participation in tournaments, but rather on social status - longevity, having moderator functions, the number of posts, the database, etc.
On the other hand, if you sit around like a hermit, an unsociable person, then they will listen to you, nod (as if you were simple-minded), but they won't take you seriously (exception: people who speak to the point and are always correct, but rarely).
