gizmo2k3 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 little storie to begin with: i was mining iron on my skiller in rimmington pit and i was doing so quite happily, when all of a sudden a level 34 i think walks up to me and goes speak, so i say how can i help you, and he goes AHHH noob, and continuously calls me it till i get bored and world hope. now as i done this a question popped into my head what if the word noob was stared, as in ****, i mean what effect would it have in the game, i mean in the most cases most people just say that 1 word in a setance and if it was blocked it could of been mistaken for another foul word that people can think of, therefor coming up on screen as a star, ***, therefor people would then, by jagex law, to report that offender because you don't know if they where saying noob or another word, therefor action being taken, I.E black marks or in extreme cases, banned, what do you think, would it be BETTER for jagex to block that word and other types of it, I.E no0b, n00b etc. , or do you think it wouldn't make a diffence? ty for you time, gizmo2k5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmyk Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 i would rejoice! but soon people would think of a new word to replace noob so not much would change.

Zygimantas Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 umm you can't report someone if the word is blocked. I woulden't care if noob got blocked they would just replace the word with something else like the guy above me saID. 99 Hunter - November 1st, 200899 Cooking -July 22nd, 200999 Firemaking - July 29th, 201099 Fletching - December 30th, 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocacolabottle Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 You don't need to report them if the word is already censored, but yeah I'd like to see that happen someday. 99 Slayer since August 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2k3 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 what i was meaning was that you can report someone for offencive language, and if noob is starred you don't know what word they are saying, so you could report them for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewB_DK Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 The word noob isn't offensive and it isn't against the rules, so why would they block it? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecube Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 JaGEx did censor the word noob at one time and most variations of it. Let's just say it was more chaotic than before IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berbatovsky Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I would like the word n00b to be starred but only because it would be interesting to see the scramble to replace it with a new word. If i had a vote that new word would be 'Mooblam'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaidinWoT Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Words that are already caught by the censor are not to be reported, as a few people have already stated...

They filtered that, but they did not filter n0ob, which i saw people using all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xans_ghost Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 There are plenty more words that people could use that mean the same thing as noob. For instance, In Half-life2, minges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owensey Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 There are so many different ways that people say it, they never star all the abbreviations, in the end it would probably be worse, there are alot worse 4 letter words than noob, and if it was starred, the game would seem to have alot more profanity.

Firebee_Hott Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 :wall: I was browsing the RS forums and it is addressed in the FAQ's. Jaggex's stance is it is not an offensive term. They view it as everyone was once one and so its just a common term... I guess it would be like going around callin people a baby. They say if it bothers you then slap an ignore sticker on their forhead and go about your business. I get called a noob once in awhile and it's not too offensive. Chances are the person callin me a noob is some pre-teen on a power trip because they got an avatar with a higher level. I write it off since I have been gaming for many years now and probably have had the joyous pleasure of spanking their parents in a different game. Ok back to the subject... Jaggex won't censor Noob, Newbie, Noobster, etc. #-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisp Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I think it would cause a lot of flaming of jagex, and i don't disagree or agree with this thread for that reason. I HATE the word, but i have learned to ignore it. But i know about 60% of users probably use it atleast once in a while, and some people use it very often, and they would get mad and Jagex and flame, and make up other words etc. IMO, that is Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traxion Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 people just changed it to neeb when it was blocked so people always find a way around the censor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessy87 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 if they did, my day would be amazing, especially if that constantly monitored people nad what they said so that any variation would be constantly censored... i would die a happy man if i died the next day. because everytime you see any1 do anything, they go noob... especially when u kill them. they will be like fall over and say noob. all because they are angry you beat them. or if you trade with some1 and you dont give what they want, you get called a noob. seriously shut the hell up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Hyde1218 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 NO, this can't happen!! if the word noob becomes censored, those idiots who use the word will be forced to use "noob"'s more reviling, idiotic cousin, "nub." IT WILL BE ANARCHY. proud quest cape ownerhere's my first post on the TIF (scroll to the bottom)feel free to pm me, but do make sure that i know you're a Tip.It user (in other words, give me a HYT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonAndGary Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Its better to call someone a "noob" than to swear. But to jessy87 said you shouldn't get called a noob for trading not what the person asked, you damnwell should, and you should learn to use trading properly. The Steps Of Trading 1. Some says they are either buying or selling something - e.g. "Buying/Selling Full Guthans 9.4m Cash -=Skully_Sc=-" 2. The person who wants to complete this transaction with that player sends a trade offer. 3. Both participants in the trade put up their respectable items, the deal is made and accepted. If the wrong items are put up the people are complete idiots who don't know how to read and therefore unable to play the game. Simple really. -.- Thanks To: Everyone for the siggies, especially Kal for the Pixel.Currently Playing: FIFA 07, NFS: Carbon, Morrowind and Dungeon Siege II.

aznmidget448 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 It really wouldn't make a difference. People could easily find other words to replace it like nub, ch00b, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
