The word noob should be censored.

I honestly laughed out loud. Thanks.

 

 

 

Anyway, since I don't feel like dissecting your post ideal for ideal, I'll put it like this: If you can't ignore it when you're called a noob, you shouldn't be on the Internet.

straight forward.

 

 

 

maybe this could spark some creativity that i know our fellow RSers have somewhere deep down.

 

 

 

off topic: why is the word nazi censored?

 

 

 

Why the [bleep] do you think? :roll:

Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.

Being called noob is prime use of the ignore list. You DONT want Jagex getting censor happy again.

 

 

 

As for the word nazi being censored, talking about that whole subject can be deeply offensive to some people. You might not be able to understand why, but just be respectful about it.

That makes me think of the prank awhile back where someone made those LED roadwork signs say "Caution! Nazi Zombies Ahead!" and other such things. Epic prank tbh.

 

 

 

Also. GTFO noob.

noob comes from newbie which is used to represent a new player.

 

 

 

Its like saying any words which have meaning, but get abused should be filtered.

 

Hell last night there was a guy spaming no about 200 times in the chat; Does that mean no should be filtered?

 

 

 

Nazi is blocked as its a hate crime group (their still about to a degree) and to avoid offending the people who feel strongly about the events which they caused (which we all should) .

The word newbie is a variant of 'new boy' and comes from British public school and military slang[citation needed]. In the 1960s the term "newbie" also had a limited usage among U.S. troops in the Vietnam War as a slang term for a new man in a unit. A common variant is "n00b" or "noob", and is used as a pejorative for a user who fails to learn from experience, or in some cases, to degradingly refer to users who disrupt other users.

 

 

 

I don't think the word 'noob' should be blocked. It's commonly used throughout the Internet, and shouldn't be taken seriously.

 

 

 

The word "Nazi" refers to the National Socialist German Workers Party which was ruled by Adolf Hitler.

Nazi isn't a hate crime group, it's a political party. That's why they called it the nazi party.

 

 

 

Anyway I think it's a harsh generalization to hate them as a whole. For the most part they were soldiers no different than our own. They had the choice to follow orders or die. Don't try to tell me you would have done any differently. Just imagine the guilt they had to live with for what they were forced to do in the name of Germany.

 

 

 

That's not to say what they did was right, but it's unfair to generalize in that way. Generalizations like those were the entire foundation of the Germans' views on Jews.

But the term Nazi doesn't have to directly refer to the Nazi party its most commonly used to refer to there actions.

 

For example the term Grammar Nazi, it doesn't refer the style of grammar the Nazi Party used. Its used to refer to someone or a group of people who believe grammar must be as perfect as possible when used and try to force there views on others.

 

 

 

The hate group I was referring to was the modern version of the Nazi party, Neo Nazi. Which is widely known as a racist hate group.

 

 

 

The original Nazi party started as a similar style group until it expanded to the degree it did at which stage, as you stated, forced others into the group regardless of whether they wanted to or not.

 

 

 

To say the Nazi party isn't a hate group is the same as saying the BNP or similar party aren't.

For the first part, I'll quote Little Richard. "NO! Shut up!"

 

 

 

As far as Nazi, it's censored because there is never any reason why the subject should be discussed on Runescape. And it'll generally be used to offend other people. If you want to discuss that topic, get off the game.
