Am I a noob? Don't know but you can diagnose yourself!
Honestly, I have never heard the term noob until recently so I did some research. According to the Urban Dictionary a noob is:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=noob
As to the question: "Am I a noob?" I don't know but you can diagnose yourself in light of the definition. Further, thread like this certainly do draw attention. Often the negative kind.
Coc states 13. Submitting messages that are inflammatory and made simply with the intent to provoke disruption to the forum or chat room and encourage, incite or continue ‘flame’ messages. ‘Trolling’ and baiting will not be tolerated. Messages that are disruptive and destructive in character will not be tolerated. Flaming is deemed to include insulting, personally directed criticisms and/or messages that include comments aimed to incite anger. Trolling is deemed to include messages aimed to incite disruption or stir up trouble. For example, posting to a thread or starting a thread without the intent to contribute positive suggestions or comments. Instead, the aim is negative and disruptive comments.
or CoC 16. Submitting messages that personally attack, insult, threaten, harass or are clearly disrespectful of the opinions of other participants. This means, if you are engaging in debates that involve challenging, questioning and disputing the opinions and views of others, you are required to do so in a civil manner and ensure that your messages are relevant and on-topic. This rule does not exclude messages that are critical or questioning. It does, however, require that you carefully consider the tone of language in such messages to ensure that they are civil.
The problem is threads like this draw negative comments that have little or nothing to do with enjoying the game Trainz. My understanding of the term noob in light of the definition is insulting to say the least. Therefore, if I say yes you are a noob then I am in effect insulting you in violation of the code of conduct. The question itself may also be a violation of the CoC in regards to "baiting" or asking a question in order to receive a negative response. That may or may not be the intent here, I don't know, but I do know this, other members my be drawn into a fight and that is not what this forum is about.
My suggestion here is for everyone not to respond directly to this question. Whether you are a noob or not means very little to me so please diagonose yourself.
btw I am not a mod nor have any authority here whatsoever nor do I want any. This is suggestive only.
confused:I,m not very good at scenery and stuff like that,but I am good at track laying!
