to teh n00bz: Important!

Eichen

I've noticed that the n00bz on NS have become slightly more shrill and annoying lately.
I've decided to post a simple to understand list of steps you should take in order to be considered as a full-fledged (if not always respected, per se) member of NationStates.

1. Try to make it to post 250 with a minimal level of credibility.

2. From time to time, post something nice to another member here (at your discretion). This builds your credibility and prevents you from being seen as a mad-dog asshole, or obsessive whackjob.

3. Avoid unnecisarrily using the words "Nazi", "Hitler" or "fascist" when detracting another member's statement(s).

4. Use the smileys with the fucking guns sparingly, if ever. Subtract a small amount of cred every time you need to use one. At this stage, you can't afford much, so use your better judgement.

5. If you really are a fanatic or whackjob, try to keep it on the DL until you've at least hit that 250 mark. Just try it, okay?

6. Try not to be so arrogant this early in the game. Trust me, you'll have plenty of time for that once your a full member.

7. Try not to piss Myrth off right away. Like the IRS, once your flagged, the jig is up dude.

8. Try not to write a bizarre amount of threads containing run-ons and cute internet language. See rule 4 for credibility credit info.

Just thought I'd help.

9. If you're going to flame, don't do it in Moderation to whichever moderator handled the last report of you flaming. It doesn't go over well at all, for some odd reason.

Thanks for the list Eichen. You're awesome! (What was that #2 rule again? :D)

Oddly enough I don't really consider myself a n00b - I've been on NS for a while and I read the threads nearly every day; I just can't be bothered to post most of the time because if you actually take the time to read the threads you will find that someone has already made your point. That or I'm just too lazy.

If that was directed at me, I don't think it's warranted. Suggestions to new debators (n00bz, for the purpose of the post) should be welcomed.
The same compleints take up many posts on other threads, often hijacking them completely.

Probably not, but I think it's a great way to illustrate that you can post almost any opinion here (very libertarian), so long as you're not devolving the conversation towards fuck you.

The rule of thumb is: If you have to ask whether you are a newb or not, you're a newb. There isn't a defined point when you stop being a newb; it just happens. For some people, it happens sooner than others.

A n00b is anyone new. You could be one forever, or leave this nasty phase behind by your fiftieth post.

n00bz means Newbie, or someone who is new here. It's more a state of mind than a chronological indicator.

And credibility points are just BS that Eichen made up. Ignore him. He's a n00b.

you seem hostile. is there something on your mind? i also noticed some, well, noticable homophobia in some earrlier posts. this, combined with some knowledge of the human mind, got the cogs a-turnin in my head. i think that's enough for some to know what i'm hinting at. subtlety never was my strong suite. on a side note, one never wants to make fun of another's spelling, but i have to say. the urge is strong, stronger when you start calling others stupid. i really hope that this is all a big joke. for the sake of the youth of america (forgive my blighted ignorance if that's not where you're from) if no one else. :D

you seem hostile. is there something on your mind? i also noticed some, well, noticable homophobia in some earrlier posts. this, combined with some knowledge of the human mind, got the cogs a-turnin in my head. i think that's enough for some to know what i'm hinting at. subtlety never was my strong suite. on a side note, one never wants to make fun of another's spelling, but i have to say. the urge is strong, stronger when you start calling others stupid. i really hope that this is all a big joke. for the sake of the youth of america (forgive my blighted ignorance if that's not where you're from) if no one else. :D1. Yes Im an American. 2. I just got out of the shower and I typed all that as I was soaking wet and draped in a towel 3. I was in the hallway and typing with only the light my screen was giving off 4.

Doppelganger

I've noticed that the n00bz on NS have become slightly more shrill and annoying lately.
I've decided to post a simple to understand list of steps you should take in order to be considered as a full-fledged (if not always respected, per se) member of NationStates.

1. Try to make it to post 250 with a minimal level of credibility.

2. From time to time, post something nice to another member here (at your discretion). This builds your credibility and prevents you from being seen as a mad-dog asshole, or obsessive whackjob.

3. Avoid unnecisarrily using the words "Nazi", "Hitler" or "fascist" when detracting another member's statement(s).

4. Use the smileys with the fucking guns sparingly, if ever. Subtract a small amount of cred every time you need to use one. At this stage, you can't afford much, so use your better judgement.

5. If you really are a fanatic or whackjob, try to keep it on the DL until you've at least hit that 250 mark. Just try it, okay?

6. Try not to be so arrogant this early in the game. Trust me, you'll have plenty of time for that once your a full member.

7. Try not to piss Myrth off right away. Like the IRS, once your flagged, the jig is up dude.

8. Try not to write a bizarre amount of threads containing run-ons and cute internet language. See rule 4 for credibility credit info.

Just thought I'd help.

So the only way you can lose your "noob" status is to raise your post count to 250? Funny, I've been playing this game since 2003.......

I dont think it works like that - at least not for me... I dont know about the whole newb thing in general (no pun intended). This whole conversation seems to cater to over generalizing mass groups of 'new' people.

To me what this comes down to has nothing to do with whether or not someone is new to the forums, its about someones personality and how they carry themselves. Regardless of their post count or longevity within the forum walls.

I think these rules should go beyond the proclaimated term given - and be applied instead to people who can't seem to grasp what it takes to be a decent human. The thread jockey's, flamers, greifers etc. Thats who we ought to be adressing - there are plenty of people out there who don't qualify as n00b's but who can most assuredly cause a lot of shit down here in the forums.

Which goes to prove, you only get out of something what you put into it. In this case, 'much thought'. Or thought of any kind. Or humour. Or wit.

Ya see? this is what i'm talking about. It's just not very polite. People don't like being called A-hole. It makes them feel bad. Now, it would be pretty much impossible to ruin my good mood, as i get to see my g/f whom i have not laid eyes on in a month in three days, but nevertheless, this constant bickering is bringing down the little community some of us are trying very hard to maintain. Besides which in the phrase "dirty shit stained caca stained poop covered hairy sweaty dirty sewage covered rats ass" not only uses four different, but equally immature and stupid, synonyms for feces, but lacks ANY of the correct punctuation. There shoudl be a comma after dirty, all of the "stained" words should be hyphenated and followed by commas, as well as all of the "covered's." there should, in fact be commas between every word that shouldn't be hyphenated up until the second "covered." Which is not to mention the overuse of some very derogatory language. All together, you're not covering yourself with glory. I realize you don't care, but honestly, if you're this unpleasant to people you don't even know, i can't even imagine how you would ever make friends with anyone who actually knows you. I'm sorry, but it's the truth as i see it. :D

Ya see? this is what i'm talking about. It's just not very polite. People don't like being called A-hole. It makes them feel bad. Now, it would be pretty much impossible to ruin my good mood, as i get to see my g/f whom i have not laid eyes on in a month in three days, but nevertheless, this constant bickering is bringing down the little community some of us are trying very hard to maintain.
