New members on Charas
From Charas Project
A common term in Charas. One that refers to a member with little or no knowledge of the forum. It is also a widespread computer term meaning the same thing.
Every so often, Charas gets a few and they always get the hint and leave (if not, we've got Meiscool).
N00b and newb: the common misconception
As stated before, a n00b is one without knowledge of a forum. However, some members join claiming themselves "n00bs" off the bat. This is wrong in the fact that Newb stands for something entirely different. A Newb is a new member of a forum.
To further clarify, one can have been a member for a year, yet still be n00b in the fact that they repeatably post spam and other nonsense.
Reasons for being a n00b
The following are common ways members can be considered n00bs:
1. They post without THOROUGHLY understanding the rules, expecting to know them already.
2. They claim superiority over those who clearly are superior of them.
3. In comic threads, they plead for cameos, despite only being a member for 2 weeks.
4. Usually n00bs try to be cool by imitating other members or mentioning something that's always talked about. One example wouldbe having Sephiroth in their name and/or having a cloudin their avatar and/or signature. (Sephiroth Rocks is exempt :P)
Someone else finish this page, I have to go for now.
