I recently noticed that the word n*0*0*b has been banned from the PPT forums. I just want to know why this is because the word is not offensive it just means someone on neopets who is annoying and does things that another person may find stupid. It is defferent than a new member because if a new member does somthing stupid then it is excusable. A n*0*0*b is someone who has been on for a while and who still does stupid things that a member of their time wouldn't normally do.

I personally do not agree with members here being able to freely call anyone here or their actions annoying or stupid. If one person determines something as stupid, it doesn't mean it is, people make mistakes. Even if someone is committing the same errors, despite the reason for their continued actions, it's still not necessary to refer to them with said term. If anyone used that term to describe me or my actions, I would find that insulting, I'm not sure many wouldn't. The terms is used derogatorily, and therefore not appropriate or kind.

There are however rules here about flaming. These rules not only protect members of this forum from personal attack, but anyone who potentially could be a member (which is everyone!).

Like Charisma said, it's a very derogatory and insulting term. Using it to describe anyone is not nice and inappropriate. I'd expect better of the people that post here, and in 99.9% of cases I find that we have a wonderful group that doesn't need to resort to using that term. *huggles ppters* :)

I think the word is banned for a reason, because it may be offending to people, I would if someone called me that, myself.

If someone called me a word that means your annoying and stupid, I would feel terrible, and I dont think PPT wants any members to be offended by mean words.. *hugs members* :hug:

Check out Aretha Franklin's RESPECT as well :) which is pretty much central to what it's all about.

Not everyone who visits the forums posts. Also, not all our members know the difference between real life bullying and net-bullying. By allowing members to post derogatory posts we would have allowed other members to be hurt. After all, PPT's supposed to be a bit of a laugh. There is a need for us here on ppt to restrict certain offensive words, and obviously in the last review of the swear-box list thingy, that word was added.

Yeah, I found out that word was banned first-hand. Although I didn't get in trouble for it. :evil:

I was calling Christopher a n*0*0*b for having his head hurt when trying to figure out time travel. :lol: I got really confused when I saw it had changed to new member.

the term 'n0ob' is slightly offensive, as it is usually used when a beginner stinks.

"New Member" is an insult, it started as an insult, and it still is. Some people just don't realize that it is offensive <3
