Will this post get deleted because of the title?
Probably not. And this is what I want to bring up.
I find that the word “noob” should be looked at as a “bad word” and regarded as such. The word is always used in an offensive context and, in my eyes at least, is no better than other offensive words that do get censored or are enough reason to report a person. So I purpose that “noob” be added to that list.
Censoring it perhaps is not needed as the word as such isn’t harmful. But the use of it, should be enough to report a person (like it is with other bad words), especially if it is used to offend someone.
I believe that the online community has existed long enough and is by now large enough to start adding to the rules of communication we have taken from the real world.
Discuss.
