When Welcoming New Members To This Website

[Tefka]

If I see the words "newblet", "newbie", "noob", or anything else that I or any other Staff member regards as derogatory, you're going to get one of those annoying warnings. And if you do it again, you're going to get temporarily suspended.

New members are the bricks and mortar of this website. Treat them with respect.

 

[Darth Vazela]

Yes based god *hails*

Message received and spread.

 

[Baros Sal-Soren]

I like this. But will not give Tef the satisfaction of an official like.

"But I tell you, do not resist an evil SWRPer. If anyone slaps Tef on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." Matthew 5:39

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

So says the Tef.

 

[Chupa La'Roi]

They're new.

Just not newbs.

 

[Nikolas Faselli]

They're called "young souls"... <_<

@[member="Tefka"] I once had a Ghostbusters book with my name, my friends names and even my address! Hate to tell ya TEF, but that is where grandma bought your Bible

 

[Garza]

Nobody is a noob. Only less experienced.

So, if someone says "Welcome newbie " that's considered derogatory?

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

@[member="Thessa Kai"] Probably...noob.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

What if the new person refers to them self as a noob?

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

Then they should be punished for being derogatory to themselves.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Of course!

 

[Thessa Kai]

Seriously?

I've probably said something like that before with no intention of degradation.

I was probably called that when I first joined and was like, yeah, I'm a noob. *shrug* It means I get 3 months of probation and grace period!!

This rule seems a little micromanagement-y. I think you can tell if someone has intentions of being derogatory if they say newb or not.

 

[Delila Castillon]

So saying "Welcome new person!" is degratory? Talk about being overly-PC

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

@[member="Delila Castillon"] We shall also no longer refer to people as 'redheads' as that is an offensive label to some.

We shall now use the term 'persons of red coloured hair'.
