PSA: Shamsade <Dawn Believers> is an EC scammer

Wow and down the rabbit hole I went for about 45 minutes, googling this Sam guy. Holy shit! "Seedy" is a massive understatement. Found some thread with him trying to defend his actions and constantly mentioning his IQ of 144, all while displaying his terrible grammar and his weak grasp of the English language.

The guy misspelled "disease" three different ways in back to back posts. Wtf?!?

hahaha. You have to know that poor grammar skills doesn't necessarily translate into low intelligence. That being said, I doubt that Sam was blessed with a high IQ.

I remember that too, I have not read his posts since years ago, but I recall him defending his actions and only digging himself deeper.

Sometimes it's better just to know people as these funny little pixels instead of how they really are IRL. Sometimes their identities in the game are nothing like their RL ones.

Not saying there isn't an odd counter-example here and there, but, in my experience, poor written skills usually DOES translate into low intelligence IRL.

Someone can be highly intelligent and simply never been taught proper reading/writing skills it's not unheard of.

That being said, it's probably a safe bet if you see someone who has been exposed to modern structured schooling with extremely poor language skills they are not a genius.

In the past I have met people who spoke very rudimentary, yet were quite sharp in mind and deceptively so.

I just never underestimate people or generalize them based off one factor is all.
