Word "noob" is not forbidden word in steam forums.

[Конец Света]

Noob is the agressive variation of newbie to insult new players. Why it's not banned from writing?

[breadman]

why would it be

[The Presence]

Because context matters.

[Aachen]

“Noob” is not aggressive — though as with other language, it can be used aggressively.

[Crazy Tiger]

They'd otherwise write is as "newb" or just say newbie/new player anyway. There isn't actually a difference between "you stupid noob" or "you stupid new player", you know.

[Chill-Out-Zone]

Lol! Cause everbody has been "noob" once...

This.

If I were to write "omg bro ur liek teh omega noob roflcopter lmfao" it would be aggressive.

But I can tell a user not to use X, Y or Z as it's a noob trap and they're better off using something else in a game that would be more beneficial.

So it means you can call everyone as noob and it will not be restricted?

You really think that’s the sort of context likely to make it seem an innocuous usage? Rather would indicate, to me, an abusive (aggressive, too, likely) intention and a detriment to discussion.

[( ( < < <🤖> > > ) )]

is this like jester award farming or social media advertising....

calling people names negatively is not good...

[Paratech2008]

I've used the word to describe myself when asking for help on certain games.

[Start_Running]

Wow. This is some good Jester baiting OP.
Seriously. If the word'noob' is enough to hurt your feelings you might just want to stay off the forums, or out of multiplayer games .


Why do you focus on 'noob', when it's no different than 'newb'. Both have the same meaning, are used in the same context. I mean. Does the phrase newbie become suddenly offensive when it loses a syllable?

[MadZec]

If word "noob" is restricted..... this thread would be deleted or locked by now.....

I’m still a noob. I’m I going to get banned now?

[UrbanMech]

New players aren't noobs. They are newbs. Noobs are bad players that aren't new.
