The word gets thrown around here as much as 'liberal' and 'neocon' in the P&N forums, so I wanted to see what people thought it was. I made a similar topic in the P&N forums about the overuse of 'liberal' and 'neocon' which mostly sparked insults, hopefully here it will be different.

a) Stop posting dumb threads like "Look at this free iPod deal!"
b) Get a post count over 100
c) Manage to not post something on a regular basis that gets you flamed and/or banned mercilessly

This is when n00b-dom probably ends. Later you:

a) Start posting dumb threads like "OMGWTF..." or "NEF"
b) Get a post count over 10000
c) Manage to post something on a regular basis that gets you flamed and/or banned mercilessly

Then you are a "Lifer"

You might be on to something if you weren't such a nub yourself...

e) Stop combining hot chicas and spiders in one thread

depends who you ask, the photochoppers will say after you've posted your first funny photochop, the lurkers will say its after you've lurked two days straight, the repost nazis might say its when you've spotted your 100th repost, FS/FT peeps will say its when you're heatware is higher than your age. you're no longer a noob when things start getting old.

You're still misunderstanding me. I'm not upset, I'm just curious. Also, I'm not a kid, so don't make random guesses. On top of that, if you had read anything I've posted, you'd realize I've done very little to 'fit in' here.

Here, I'll try real quick: :cookie:

It's a hunter-prey thing. If you look like prey, you get eaten. EX, this thread. You asked about being a noob, so you get: STFU noob! Get it?

And go straight to lifetime ban? A fun direction, no doubt, but not exactly what I'm trying to do

See, that wasn't so hard! Knowing that is proof you've been around long enough to not be considered a noob. You've been a member for 1 day less than 2 months. I doubt you'd have learned that in this short of a time. I haven't seen a post about wdauqnug in far longer than that.

Okay, now who were you before you rejoined in August?

I'm not looking for flames, I can get plenty of those other ways. I'm also not looking for a, "One day you just will be....and will know" crappy movie type of things. When do people on these boards end being a noob, and become whatever? It is a post count, the length of being your member, or just once you have proved the relative size of your man/woman hood. If this has been asked before (more than highly likely), sorry, I am clearly still a 'noob'. So please, let us all know when each of you decide that someone is no longer a noob.

Edited for the answer you seek.

 
I just searched... I only saw one post that mentioned wdauqnug from the last 2 months.

Since the OP knew that posting like him would earn a lifetime ban,
Don't the rest of you realize yet that he's NOT a noob? He's just jerking you around.

What's your other nic? Who were you before being banned?

Look, in 1996 the Stevens commision ruled that electronic communication heiarchies were obligated to operate under specific parameters in one of the three primary guidance classifications. I was simply requesting confirmation of his adherence to the stipulated rules.
