RE: Please be nice to newcomer!

If someone doesn't know the answer its alright to not give it since any false information will mislead the player. But I don't find it funny at all to call someone 'noob' just because they are looking for help at the beginning of the game.

I believe that this kind of attitude should be concidered the same way as 'insulting' an other player only because they are new to the server or to the game, which is forbidden by the server rules.

What do you think of it Pandora?

I agree with you GM-Aegis, it's not nice to be called 'noob' without reason.
I don't remember who was, but one time i was at a new char, still novice and someone said "look! someone poorer than me :D"
wtf... Thinking

i understand the purpose Aegis and i agree with the idea but you dont wanna open up that can of worms. You'd have screenshots and constant complaints with some people blowing the whole thing outta whack just for the word noob.Seems like micromanagement and sounds like a whole lot of police work involved just to figure out if it was a insult or not.The word noob is part of internet gameing vocabulary wether we like it or not.

Well, I don't wanna go on a rampage and mute/jail/ban everyone, but I think a collective effort wouldn't hurt ^_^

Let's all make a club that talks about Mr. Truthhurts all day and all night~ Funny sayings will come out of it for sure, which will be funny for everyone but Mr. Truthhurts, perhaps, but all is justified because he does not like it only because he is Mr. Truthhurts. Everyone else finds it to be entertaining, hm?

If "not funny + potentially offensive if used as a response to a question" is not the correct approach, then is "this joke is purely sexist as a man said that it's not funny for a girl because she is a girl" valid?



Not trying to pick up a war or anything for Namin?, but surely there are girls who find it hilarious laughing on the floor already, and there are also guys who are just looking at that line, and nothing clicks at all as well.
