A n00b whacker is a person who, when seeing an idiotic/off-topic/irrelevant post, goes and with various degrees of violence depending of the n00b whacker's personality, verbally blames the person responsible for said post. Their targets are usually [[n00bs]] but [[Normie]]s are not exempt.

Most of these do believe than the end of having a cleaner forum justifies the means of being harsh to their targets. Of course, this isn't the opinion of everyone. Some of the more soft hearted (or morally inflexible) members sometimes find their actions distasteful. Or some just call the n00b whackers mean.

Most n00b whackers have a method of piercing down the self esteem of their targets. It can either be cold analysis and criticism (ala [[Naryar]], [[Serge]], [[System32]]), or just insulting for a reason ([[InfiniteInertia]]).

Despite using the opposite of a [[Peacekeeper]]'s tactics, [[n00b whackers]] and peacekeepers have the same objectives in mind, so they often respect each other.

n00b whackers differ from [[Forum Arsonist]]s as they mostly do not seek conflict when it is unnecessary, and rather than just annoying people, they seek to preserve the quality of forum posting via less family friendly means.

We can also divide n00b whackers in two categories: major and minor. All of the major n00b whackers are highly respected (if not more feared than respected) and have great skill in RA2, somehow earning their right to correct n00bs. Minor n00b whackers are less skilled, less respected and/or have less achievements than the major ones, nevertheless they most often are right when whacking a n00b and do make good points.
