The n00b is a newbie, but unlike the [[Normie]], fails the test of [[Forum Introduction]], possibly due to low quality posts, bad English, boasting, being a [[Forum Arsonist]], bumping threads, not listening to advice, creating pointless threads, creating tournaments when you are very new to the forum, lacking common sense/social skills, or really horrible bot building skill or any mixture of these. Also often a [[Forum Arsonist]], [[Vet Whacker]] or [[Drama Queen]], though not all forum arsonists/drama queens are noobs.

Basically just being annoying/obnoxious without contributing anything interesting. Also often a [[Forum Arsonist]], [[Vet Whacker]] or [[Drama Queen]], though not all forum arsonists/drama queens are noobs.

 

A person can stay a n00b for a very long time (sometimes called perman00bs), or can hopefully evolve into a Normie.

Contrarly to [[newb]], n00b is an offensive term/insult.
