How many #1 Beatmakers can there be?

Is there any way to weed out anyone with "#1 Beatmaker" or even "Beatmaker" in there "About" profile, over at Bandlab?  I've pretty much determined that I'm not interested in collaborating with anyone who describes themselves using these terms.  I've tried exploring Bandlab for others to collaborate, but weeding through the "Beatmakers" is getting tedious, I'd rather just skip them.  No offense intended towards the...uh....legit "Beatmakers".
 
On a humorous side note, I've never found so many individuals who list that they play, Drums, Keyboards, Guitar, ect., yet all their tracks are comprised of loops and samples.  Really?

    I think this is actually more common than you think, especially when projects are still in the writing stage.
     
    Even signed bands will use drum loops or samples during the writing stage, then get the drummer on board at final tracking time. I know "It Bites" do this, but any band that has a main writing duo within the band, rather than writing as a whole will probably take this approach.
     
    I play drums, but regularly use drum machines/samples simply for the convenience during the writing process (both for my own stuff, and as part of a band). When I was in a band, our drummer was quite happy to take what was essentially a finished song with drum samples and write his own parts to it afterwards.
