Here's an idea:

Any time someone on the forum uses the word "noob", "newb", or any of its spelling varitaions, it should be filtered to say, instead of newb, "new guy", since that is essentially the correct meaning of the word. I beleive that it would work well, and if people try to bypass the filter (camel typing, n00b), then they could get a warning or a blacklisting (that does seem a little rash, though. Maybe just a warning.). Would this work, or is it just another silly idea? Post comments if you wish, and maybe Achronos could take this into consideration.

Then we'd still know they'd be using noob. Just give it a nice little -Blam!- instead.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

I think that is an excellent idea.

My God, this thread is going to be locked for sure. (just kidding)

Anyway, "nub" isn't the same as "noob". Nub means a dismembered limb, like getting your arm chopped off. All you have left is a nub for an arm. Otherwise, I'm glad that you guys think that this is a suitable idea. Thanks for the comments.

Yes, it should be -Blamed!-, along with -blam!- (we can think of better word to describe something).

Either way, people will know what you're talking about, whether you say "Effing" or what ever. Oh, and try not to make this a discusion about curse words. We're getting a little off topic, aren't we?

There isn't a way around blacklisting though. I would agree with that idea, but if it came up as 'new guy' it should have dashes on each side so you know its been filtered. I would also like to have 'fuk' on the filter aswell, its too easy to exploit!!!! Can I be blacklisted for explaining what should be on the filter list? Its been done earlier today so should I take that as a no? At least it fits the discussion :)

Actually, I think we should have the choice to have a filter system on/off. Kind of like the old days...

Yeah, except that would kill the server since the new system is vastly more efficient. I would like that too, but it will never happen/
