Lol who cares? I use that word for fun.

[falcosenna1 8,320]

Just ignore them. Certain players already start calling you a noob because you don't use enough supplies in their opinion. They're not worth your attention. 

[Shaloo7 1,216]

Don't get effected from haters.

[Meliora 1,652]

This. And chances are, you're only going to get called a noob if you do something stupid which obstructs the team.

[Mr.I3oSS 557]

They belong to your Ignore list ^_^

[NatchGa 665]

I DONT THINK ANY OF YOU UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS

 

Yes, there is a block option... but the problem is that SOooo many people use this word that you would probably like block half the people you ever met... Many of those people might have become a great friend of yours if you got too know them better, but because everyone is using this word, many people feel implied to use it themselves. Thus, making them look like a arrogant typical player. If you play other games, being called a noob is actually a pretty big deal. So new tankers (the number 1 victim of being called a noob) will ususally take it seriously, and sometimes decide that this game is too difficult for them because someone said that they basically weren't good enough. When in reality it takes time to learn how too use all the controls and mechanics of the game.

 

Oh, not too mention how pointless the word is too begin with. EVERYONE was at one point a smoky and hunter that couldn't turn there turret and ran into walls. (not everyone, but im betting most of you). As an admin of a facebook page about Tanki online Tankers, the number one thing people post is a picture of there tank and then them prompting people to rate them noob or pro... Tankers have replaced the word "beginner" with this word. Its sickening.

 

Some people find this word extremely offensive because of past experiences with this word. The best way of ignoring this is by just not insulting people to begin with... especially those who are ill equipped  for there rank. Maybe there account was broken into and all there crystals where wasted. Maybe they just simply can't get the crystals due to previous purchases. Even if they are just over all bad at the game, the last thing you should call them is a noob. Those are the people that need to be motivated the most if anything. And besides, what do you get out of calling someone a noob? do you feel better about yourself? because if so, you need to do some serious soul searching.

 

Whats really sad is how poorly this topic is put together. its just a brief sentence on how hurt someone is by this word. Which is still important, but the only way to get people to actually care unfortunately is too make it a word of those who are down looked by the community. 

[momy950666 960]

simply block them from you chat list

[kayitsiz 621]

Two option please:

1. Make every insult free

2. Forbid every insult

Noob just comes from the word newbie, a newcomer which doesn't mean anything negative. Unfortunately we started using it in different contexts. On the one hand we gave it the pejorative connotation it has now, though it still isn't a real insult. On the other hand saying the word 'noob' is losing its effect because it's so commonly, excessively used nowadays. 

[RampagingVenom 554]

I don`t feel bad if someone cares to throw it my way

obviously does not apply to me

but I sometimes respond with a few choice words of my own to quieten things down :lol:

So if noob is losing it`s punch which word is the new noob?

[dilsharox 2,395]

juts ignore them

they dont know the real meaning of that word

[falcosenna1 8,320]

I'm not saying it loses his denotation, it just loses its effect, the connotation becomes less harsh.

Oh I agree there`s nothing like constant repetition of a word to low it`s impact

how about

" You Bombastic pompous ,blustering,  ranting,  blathering, verbose, Noob" ?

now if you add those the sting is restored. :lol: 

[ClutchCityColtsFAn 362]

grow up. being offended is a choice, stop letting words have power over you. and if it bothers you so much and happens so much that this is actually an "issue" to you, then maybe youre actually a noob

[drazeruzumaki 5,021]

noob word is a word meaning that ur a newbie to the game. when in the begining someone called me noob i went all out and gave him a good session on some words that are bad for kids. bt nowadays i dnt call people noob bcoz many of them have more experience than me and that fact is true so i dnt call people noob. and by experience i mean age.....i think noob callers just like to enter battles and call people noobs bt they are always on the bottom positions. so i think ignoring these people or saying things like ok or thnx when they call u noobs will help. i do this and they always stop :P

[golden5648 1,686]

Lovers gonna love

 

Haters gonna ruin their fate

[The.Skilled.Legend 1,459]

People only use the word if they're mad or have hate against you. I see it otherwise when it comes to seeing low rankers, because some of them are BUT, they'll get better, hopefully. hhh

[classyplebs 1,786]

Ignore them. Don't dignify their actions with a response.

[tanker538N 394]

I actually don't have a problem :l but seriously, just add them to your ignore list.
