Don't call Noobs "Noob"

**YeaHaHa** · 10-26-2012, 08:04 AM

For some who are noobs don't like to be called noob. So don't because it is trolling. DO NOT call Others NOOB!

And Here are several reasons why you should not call someone a noob

Calling someone a noob

• Can silently anger someone
• Is just not nice
• Is not cool to do
• Can Start flame wars

It's not pro to call someone a noob, pro means professional, calling someone a noob is unprofessional.

So do not call the new players noob even if your joking they may not think its so funny

You're calling noob a racial slur? I wonder what you're like when someone uses an actual insult towards you...

I always thought being called a name in a video game was pretty on par with being oppressed IRL.

Racial slur....? Joke? You don't know racism, then...

**YeaHaHa** · 10-26-2012, 08:20 AM

My point is calling someone a noob can make them mad, it's like saying your better then someone else, like even though you maby are it no need to use that hateful word. Some people can handle it, but those who can't like me will get mad and make threads about it, so its best not to call someone a noob unless your calling yourself one.

I'm the noob

**MightyMicah** · 10-26-2012, 08:24 AM

I'm a noob

**Noodleleg** · 10-26-2012, 08:28 AM

Okay, I get your point... just telling you racist is having fat jerks tell you Konichiwa and asking why you can't open your eyes... sad thing is... they're the nubs that can't past gym.

If it makes you mad, that's your problem, to be quite frank. It's not a "hateful word", it doesn't even have a true meaning anymore. It used to refer to an inexperienced player, now, people just use it as an insult against anyone. I can guarantee you almost every player on forums has been called a noob, it's a commonly used word that gets thrown at anyone who upsets someone else. Calm down pls.

It doesn't say anything about that it"s a racial slur, It says it is a form of trolling. Unless again your calling yourself one.

Luckily nobody quoted your original post. I think everyone gets what you're saying. They are just pointing out that you took it too far.

I don't. I can't understand why noob can be considered insulting...or 95% of the other insults made in game. Unless the person knows you on a personal level and attacks you, they're either meaningless words (ie noob), or false assumptions (70 year old virgin living in your mothers basement waiting for your pizza to be delivered).

As I said above some people are fine with it and some people get mad. If you were called noob on your first day by every 76 you wouldnt be so cool with the word either. But no sense in trying to explain it to you, your pro and havent been a "inexperinced" player for a long time. So you not going to know ho being called a noob feels to the actual inexperienced players

Noobs are Noobs its the nature of the beast. Level up get to know the game then and only then can you graduate to Nub.

Well, meaningless or not, nobody likes to be disrespected. Whether in real life or not... I can understand that. Not saying it bothers me when someone says it to me, but I can see how it would for some people. I agree, people shouldn't let it bother them. Then again, not everyone on PL is an adult and not everyone has the same level of maturity that adults do.

Edit: That "most" adults do

I've been called a noob in other games when I just started out (OnC for example). Either accept and live up to it, or use it as motivation to become more experienced. Their goal in calling you a noob is to make you mad and want to quit, so why give them the satisfaction in knowing it worked?

**YeaHaHa** · 10-26-2012, 08:47 AM

Saying the word Noob is the way of putting it like your better then someone, when there are far more nicer words to call someone a noob like "inexperinced" or "New guy". Saying noob is just a mean way of putting it

If that's what you're looking for... good luck. Noob is so much easier to type and more effective than "relatively new player to pocket legends."
