How they got the name newbie: Before it entered popular discourse by way of the Internet, the term "newbie" had a limited usage among U.S. troops in the Vietnam War as a slang term for a new man in a unit.
Meanings: Newbie is usually used to refer to a new person who has recently joined the group. Several alternate spellings and occasionally the original word, are used to refer to a member who is generally unwanted or disliked in the community
Noob
The game definition of noob is usually someone, often in online games who acts in offensive ways to other users or people that surround them and refuse to go away, or stay by any other methods for the sole purpose of annoying others. The word noob can also mean in an online game someone who did something stupid, or asked an obvious question. For example, if someone asks a question answered in the FAQ or is common knowledge, others will call that person a noob.
Newb
Newb is also considered a relatively new person to a game that is inexperienced and doesn't know what they are doing. This term is often addressed as newb(Newbie). However, in recent times this term is infrequently used and has been widely accepted as being replaced by noob.
Nub
Nub is currently the new way of typing or saying it.
(from wiki)
So heres a list I came up with that will tell you if you are a noob:
1. If you are disrupting/ annoying another player these include:
A. Hammering people (unless in death-match)
B. Pinking people
C. Spamming
D. Random shooting
E. spawn killing
2. Building in all one color.
3. making a build out of 1x1x5's and 1x1s
4. Spamming the chatbox or advertising your website.
5. Banning someone because of their name or ID.
6. Random trust Invites
7. Asking for Admin or super-admin
8. Saving an internet server then claiming its yours.
9. If you Tell others to press Alt-F4. Don't listen to those who say "Press alt f4 for a secret thing to be unlocked", alt f4 will close Block Land, its just a way people get on other peoples' nerves
10. Do not just build whatever or wherever you want, unless of course the server is a freebuild, many servers are previews of builds, or set up for games such as death-matches.
11. Try to use proper English, that means no this: Hiy i lik blooklanf does u!...
12. Don't join clans without asking first.
13.Could be noobish: Don't make any clans. Choose one of the existing ones, there are over 9000 clans!
14. Don't talk in all caps, it's interpreted as yelling Unless you are yelling of course.
Discuss..... Thanks[/color]
14. Don't talk in all caps, it's interpreted as yelling, it makes you look like an idiot, it'll get you banned and it's not cruise control for cool.]I could not change the topic name so i had to make a new one =(







Add more onto it, like abstract shapes on the roof. then add a yard (best thing to do, adds lots of points)
This is because it was going to be a quiz then i changed it to a list of things that i consider could be noobish. TOPIC LOCKEDThis is a list of: "If people are calling you a NOOB come find out why" Its not saying your a NOOB if you make one its saying that you might be considered a NOOB if you do.Actually, I believe the title states, "Are you a NOOB? come here and find out!" Not "If your being called a NOOB heres what you might be doing wrong."

I disagree with 2, and spawn killing IS a noob and really lame tactic. It works this way if your the host: You spawn kill everyone, everyone hates you and leaves server. If you're playing on someone elses server, you spawnkill, everyone complains to admin, admin bans them and you.It says that you might be a noob if you spawn kill. Ill fix the hammering rule for you...
Just go with all the rules besides 2 and No hammering (Unless your not in deathmatch)
