It is treated badly because many people use it in a vulgar way.

I say noob all the time, it's not a curse word, just means people are playing the game without proper use in your opinion. Or they're just new to the game and haven't the slightest clue of what's going on :)

I've tried it myself before..in fact Aratan was on the server when we were talking about it. and n00b with the zeros WAS filtered. Not sure if it still is...

I doubt it's because of n00b the person EXTREMELY much.

i myself find it somewhat disconcerting that someone may have added n00b's name specifically to some list of words to be filtered. if it's a joke, that's all well and good. :) if not, the person should take up the issue with n00b personally.

Actually, it's more 'in' to say newbie and elite in the CTF community, than n00b and 1337.

I remember the days when it was still cool to say "newbie" and "elite", instead of n00b or 1337.

Maybe if I start using those terms again, people will say "Wow, you're sooo RETRO!".

To me, n00b indicates someone is bad at the game/whatever.... newbie is just that he's new/unexperienced.


And I agree with Fizz.

Since when has the swearing on the servers been so bad we need one? :/


I agree :)
