Big Term:
From Gametalk:
N00b - You've probably heard this one many times before. Someone may have accused you of being one, or you may have called someone one without knowing the meaning. A n00b is, at least here, someone who comes into a forum and gives all kinds of information, even on occasions claims to be a master, but knows nothing about the given subject. Most of the time, they use internet lingo. Ex: 'U R @ QT'. Although many ppl like to type like that just to make things go faster. It's annoying, and on occasion, hard to read. It can cause visual nausea and irritate ppl, so please, spell your words correctly, unless you don't know how to spell them. Now, back to the subject. They tend to either make no sense, spam without realizing it, make applications to become a mod without even posting in the forum once, go completely offtopic or make up or post false codes. They can change, but sometimes they don't want to, because they think they're fine the way they are, and it's the world that's wrong. Not all N00bs are the same though, but the above mentioned is what I've seen to be the most popular behaviour.
+If you're called a n00b, think of how you've been acting lately. Look at your posts, are you trying too hard to fit in? Try to think of ways you can improve.
+If someone calls you a n00b, and you're sure you haven't been acting hatefully in any way, then maybe you should leave the forum, as you'll only get trouble there anyhow.
Newb~ Now this is different, N00b and Newb aren't the same. A Newb is a shortened term for newcomer. Don't be insulted if someone calls you a newb, it just means you're new.
+If you don't want to be considered a newb anymore, just keep posting on topic posts, be nice to the regs, vets and mod if there is one. And in about 2-4 weeks depending on the forum, you'll be considered more of a reg.
Reg~ A forum regular. Just someone who comes to the forum often, talks and answers questions whenever possible.
+If someone calls you a reg... Stop complaining! You should be happy to be a part of the forum's activity.
+If someone makes fun of you because 'You're just a reg and they're a vet', they're weird, don't let them bother you.
Vet~ A forum veteran, someone who's been to the forum for a year or more. If you are one, you should be proud to be a part of the forum's history for so long. If you aren't, who cares?! You should just be happy to have friends and post on the forum.
Mod~ Yes, the all powerful moderator... Or so everyone thinks. Mods aren't that special, sure, apprently we're 'all special in our own way'. But they aren't better than us because of it. If you can't get a mod to talk to you, it's probably because either he or she is tired, not online or doesn't feel like talking. Don't think a mod is stuck up - they DO have lives too you know. Although some are crazy... But don't dwell on that.
+If a mod doesn't want to be your friend, don't get mad, they have to be careful. A lot of ppl just want to use them for their power. And yes, that is true. You may know you're nice, and chances are, (IF you really are <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />) Your friends do too. But a mod can't really trust your word, there are all kinds of weirdos on the internet.
