What if it is in your signature like this one under my message


Believe it or not, the mods have the ablility to blacklist you until you get it changed just to teach you a lesson. Can't they?

Absolutly. However just to clarfy the Terms of Use and Code of Conduct reserves the right to refuse this free service to anyone who seems to be abusing or misusing it (Not worded exactly however I sugest that you read them for yourself. Look under the Navbar). Anything inapropriate on Bungie.net posted by you is a violation and can be delt with by a simple refusal AKA blacklisting that user of privlages on Bungie.net

Note that the banning of the word newbie or noob isn't in the official rules (Terms of Use and Code of Conduct) however it is a rule that was established by the Moderators and back by the Bungie.net team. The reason being that the word newbie is often used as a derogority term that discourage new members from joining the 7thColumn.

Well, anyone here that plays RS knows that RS is having the same problem. It is one of the reasons that I am starting to stop playing. Honestly, -blam!- and noob are the only insults on RS. It's rather annoying, really.

RS=runescape right? -blam!- and noob are the most common words used on that as you said...

Well fungusamongus, I can only think that I contirbuted to prompting you to start this thread. I do find the use of the word noob particularly titular when used ingame.

However, I would classify someone who would

* rather quote misinformation or rumors than do a 1 minute google search
* post a topic twice to keep it on the first page
* Spams
* makes inciting posts
* speaks on things upon which he or she has no authority, and yet still claims authority

a noob. Although I have resolved to stop using the word, and I am glad I was not blacklisted, I still have to stop myself sometimes.

Ignorance may be bliss for the Ignorant, but it pisses the rest of us off.
