I know. We strive to be understanding and considerate of your whining requests.

I've probably said something like that before with no intention of degradation.
I was probably called that when I first joined and was like, yeah, I'm a noob. *shrug* It means I get 3 months of probation and grace period!!
This rule seems a little micromanagement-y. I think you can tell if someone has intentions of being derogatory if they say newb or not.

A funny quip, I'm sure - but we don't trigger finger ban here, as I'm sure you know. We inform, we warn, then we suspend temporarily.Baros Sal-Soren said:Zomg someone is new! *banned*
I'll leave it to the community once again to police themselves, but your concern is noted. All I'm asking is that we be respectful - there's no need to change or add rules for something that is considered common decency and as stated previously, is already covered. Once again, calling people newbies isn't deemed respectful, so I ask kindly that you not do it.Thessa Kai said:Boom, Shorn said it perfectly. @[member="Tefka"], I really appreciate you letting us share our opinions and I know one of your goals for this site is the open concept of sharing ideas. Even if management decision trumps, which, I get.
I hope you all update the below to include the words 'newb, newbie' etc., so other members may not accidentally get in trouble for this. Thanks!
Harassment and abusive behavior is absolutely not allowed. This includes trolling members and racial, sexist, religious, ethnic, sexual or political remarks that can be considered derogatory.
