I don't find the experiment immature, I think it was rather insightful, though i believe your hypothesis of people being treated based on reputation probably differs from forum to forum.
The main topic of the forum probably is a good basis for this. A forum catering to white hate or violent vulgar things will probably be filled with more low brow people who don't treat others with as much respect as say a forum centered around yoga, or Buhdism or the like.
Of course people of all types can be found on every forum. but i think you understand my point.
