Event thogh that insult is habbo relative, and most of the idost using oit dont know its got anything to do with being new, considering when they get banned half of them call the hobba a noob.
Gieving people another word to insult people istn going to fix it, goving it its true meaning, will. Ive yet to hear of any compleins about people being call NEW. Its becuse popel know what new means, they dont nessary know what noob means, so they shoudl learn the right diffintion, not the incorect one

Look
This is the last thing i am going to try and say to you because you are doing my head in!

The word is not offencive in itself, it is the WAY people use the word!
For god sake, the word means 'new' so lets put it in that word so you don't get confused!
'Go away you new person' 'Just ignore him, hes new' 'No new people allowed'
'God i hate new people' They way people use the word new/noob, is still the same, as they are using it as an insult!

Yeah I agree.. Its the way the word is used, and the stigma attached to it that makes it offensive. Also i have been on alot of unhabbo related programs, forums and communites on the web and in not one i have ever seen anyone saying 'IM a Noob' onoly Im 'new' (Yes they mean the same thing but its what word they choose to use thats important)
It appears that this word may just be bred from habbo and others have carried it along. Or whatever.
Thing is I minute ago you were all for creative insults.. When we shouldnt have insults. Also Dint you once say that Its ok to call someone 'Noob' cos they wont understand what it means.. So thats pretty contradictory cos you also beleive thye should be informed of the defintion before thye going all upset about it. How about People jsut dont use the word.. then this would of never of started.

an isnult isnt nesary mean, athogh it can be used in that way, but i can say i do insult people, not in a mena why but a joke, if u do u exspet the same way every so often, its like the fat jamie thing (it would take a while to exsplain)

If it haddenst started, as a testiment to socity it would have just been anotehr word that got cahnged, if you had remved hitler before ww2. some one else would have done roghly the same thing.
Actaly i havent said anything to effect of u can call me a noob cuz they dnt know what it means. I have said if the word noob is used properly, then it shoudl be used, but if its not it shoulnt, ive aslo said, if ypou dont know what it is, why would you automictly jump to the concluion it is an insult, i didnt majicly know the meaning of the word, if i hadnt been called a noob i woulnt have leant its meaning?

The word looks like it means newbie? maybe ist becuse im dilexic and my brain works slighlty differntly. If i call someone ignorat, there likly to be offened, wich show alot of people dont know word meanings, everyoens oignorat, becuse as far as i know no body knows everything there is to know. i think everyone is a noob, everyone, ion terms as everyoens new to somthing.
I do think humanity as a whole is pretty stupid, how else do you explain all the pointless wars corruption, etc, why else woudl we have come so close to destroying our selfs on so many occiosns. People think there the pincle of eveoltion, liek a super rase, i think thats a nyieve veiw, huamns have many many short commings, and im a blive we will eventaly die out like any otehr animal or speacies, athogh in our case it would probly be our own doing that caused it.

No, but you did say that, you said 'it wont matter, they don't know what it means' now you are saying 'you shouldn't use it unless they know what it means' make up your mind, either way, my beliefs aren't going to change...
I think all types of name calling is wrong, especially if it is referring to if they are new! we are all knew at something, and i am sure if you went onto a website like habbo and everyone called you a noob you wouldn't be very happy...

[Hippygurl101]

I think 'Ignorant' is a perfect example here. Yes it may be on its own no offensive word, but in our society it is commonly used an an insult on peoples judgement and actions. Its common to say someone is 'Ignorant' and that its negative becaseu in question they may have not realised someone elses feelings and done somehting.
Hmm heres a thought doesnt that make people who think they can call someone 'Noob' and think they will be fine with it 'Ignorant' to.
Why did we bring Hitler into this?

"i didnt majicly know the meaning of the word, if i hadnt been called a noob i woulnt have leant its meaning?"
Does this mean i should go find some five year olds and call rude words and insult them out of the dicitonary so they can now what they mean? Lets face it It will help them in the future wont it..

But then Again Im just a person who beleives Noob is offensive in the way people use it. So that must make me a Noob see Mentor you already siad it.
"Only a n00b would think noob is offencie"
Im not new, Im not stupid, Im not an idiot but im a Noob.. Look how I break the mould again.

Once again, I say why are you all using this word...? Habbo is not a gaming community, nor is it necessary to call someone a n00b in any Habbo-related case...

Suddenly you're all experts on where and when to use this word yet you have not seen anything like a real flame fight. (sorry to those who are actually gamers and have been).

The only reason you guys are talking about this is because some 13 year old on Habbo has insulted you, maybe calling you a n00b.

[Hippygurl101]

Becasue certain people think the word is acceptable. I dotn see why we jsut dont use it at all.
Your one for assumptions arent you. I not saying im some expert Im saying what I think and what i beleive. If thats a crime. I have also seen 'real flame fights' Im not going on cos some 13 year old (Why 13 anyway... a judgement on age?) has insulted me im making a case about a word i think is insultive to people.

I have good reason to assume most of you aren't gamers, another comment which I didn't particularly direct at you... 'You' can also be a plural aswell!

I never said you in particular weren't an expert on the term 'n00bs', although the contrast between what you say on this forum and what my fellow gamers say on a different forum, you seem far from one.

Ok so maybe you have seen a real flame fight, but where? And I said 13 out of the top of my head, but ofcourse you like to take in everything I say... Why don't you ask me why I said 'top of the head'? Maybe I'm being prejudgist against heads?!

Why don't we just leave it at 'n00b' isn't necessary for Habbo circumstances, we agree on that - and obviously we are very different people and look on things in a different way.

If you are a gamer, which I doubt you are but hey (I assume a lot), then give me a game on HL2 sometime, I'll own ya. :p

[Hippygurl101]

Yeah But as You is a plural I am included in that.. No?
Im no expert on N00b as I said anyway. No one is. I Think the Noob term is used in a very different way from gaming to habbo but then there different contexts. I just figured alot of people pick 13 because they see it as some young 'new teenager' age personally whatever age you are yuo still have the power to insult someone else. Yes of cpourse I take in everythnig you say I find it interesting.
As we do agree on that then thats well do. It seems easier.

Btw You prob could own me.. Im may be ver competitive but when it comes to great killing technique.. One lacks

[-Soro-]

Hey, what can I say... Killing is one of my only talents.. You could beat me maybe at say... I dunno erm? Something else that I'm not good at, I'm good at being stubborn, and owning at HL2 - But seriously wanna game sometime anyone? let me know, I'll give you the IP to the server.
