It doesn't. In an on-line community, one's relative "worth" is a personal thing to be interpreted by the end-user, and is generally very subjective, usually determined by a combination of the quality and number of posts.
Someone, like Jack, who has submitted a large number of (subjectively) high-quality posts, will generally have a higher "worth" than someone like PB, who has submitted a very low number of (subjectively) meaningless posts. Someone who has submitted a large number posts can still be of low worth, if the vast majority of those posts are subjectively worthless.
Too many people have an over-inflated sense of self-entitlement... just because you sign up for an account in a free forum, don't expect or demand to be taken the same way as someone who's put in their time and has contributed to that forum.
If you want "in" to the "upper ranks", earn it.
Otherwise, deal with it.
Just because it's a virtual world doesn't mean that a lot of "meatspace" rules don't apply.
