Is the word "noob" or "n00b" bad?

Featured Replies

Sometimes when you're in a bank, or close to a bank, or really where ever you are, someone will come up to you and pester you to buy something.

 

 

 

So I was cutting trees in Draynor and someone comes up and say "Hi Waffleh." I said hi back, even though I didn't know this person, and they said "Want to buy some seeds?" I said no thanks, but he followed me around for at least ten minutes as I went back and forth to the bank. I told him to leave me alone and to stop being such a n00b, because I really don't want to buy any seeds. He told me the "f" word and a bunch of other "obscene" words, so I finally buckled down and reported him.

 

 

 

After I said, "Reported for offensive language, please stop following me!" he said "Reported for callimg me a n00b!" and logged out.

 

 

 

I'm not paranoid about being banned from RS, but is the word "n00b" or "noob" really bad enough to get you banned? I mean, you see it everyday, everywhere, where ever you are. I, personally, don't think it is, but what do you guys think?

It's the stupidest, most idiotic, most overused word on the game. Using will never get you what you want, only causes more trouble, makes you sound immature, and pretty much causes people to wnat you to just stop playing.

Look, if your mom still drops you off at school, you ain't gangsta, pull up your damn pants!

is it just rude/makes you look like less of a person? yes

 

 

 

The way I first learned the word "n00b" was about two years ago on Neopets. It wasn't considered rude, it was considered the name you call someone when they are immiture, etc. Just like "newbie" is the name for someone new, but that's not rude.

 

 

 

What do you mean by "less of a person"? 0o

Thanks ^_^ It's nice not to be flamed when just asking for opinions *cough* cause everyone else is *cough*

EXACTLY! A "Noob" is a rude, immature kid, while a "newb" is just a new player. Good to see someone who actually knows this.

i just dont like saying or hearing the word noob, n00b, newb, newbie.. or anything that sounds like it. Really it sounds like the person who says it is a five year old. Most people use this word as an insult such as your a noob becuase ur hogging all the coal, you wont sell me what ur wearing, or i am mad cuz ur better than me. They replace calling people "stupid", "greedy", "selfish" with that stupid word. People that use this word are people that cant debate or ague to someone about what they dont like. But yes most people use this dumb word because it DOES offend fragile people that have no backbone.

So you're saying that I have to isolate myself from the entire world, not be able to talk with anyone that's not already my friend, and not be able to make any new firends just because of one person? More like problem maker.

 

 

 

Also, the reason of the post was not how to get rid of them, it was just if the word "n00b" was bad...

 

 

 

P.S. If this is causing trouble mods can go ahead and lock...

can u get banned for usin it? Nah

 

SHould you? Yes, it's got to be the lamest word to use... Simply should be taken out to the Ice Plains in full drag with 1 HP and no food lame...

 

 

 

anyway... just grow up and cut the word noob from your vocab

- First of all im not flamming you... i just hate this word and agree with people that it should be taken out... and like i said noob in runescapes usually is meant as an insult to whoever they are speaking to... so if u call someone a "noob" they are more than likely going to take offence even if ur not trying to. .... So if u just read i have answered ur qeustion

 

 

 

- and as for that remark of isolating urself from thew orld?!?! did i say keep it off forever? If u read what said i meant is turn it off until the person who is annoying you leaves.. then turn it back on. I also did not mean to turn it off and switch worlds... if u switch worlds u obviously dont need to turn it off... So i dont know where ur getting that i said isolate urself from the world :roll: besides it was just a suggesttion instead of calling people names and getting furstated just do what i said
