Monkeyyboy: Picture

==Neopian Pound reopened==
After almost...was it a year?...that the Pound has been down, it's finally back up today. Though due to the new design and features, a lot of the data here is outdated. It's accurate for what it was at the time, but now... :S

A lot of it will need to be rewritten, and someone with an understanding of this new system will need to share their knowledge. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 21:18, 29 Apr 2008 (CDT)

[[Image:Wocky blue baby.gif|frame|Blue Wocky as of June 16, 2006.]]
{{Construction| reason=Better Neopet summary to be written.}}
Like [[Scorchio]]s, Wockies are extremely outgoing, friendly and adventuresome. Loving the great outdoors and the feel of the wind on a sailing ship out on the seas, these Neopets, along with Scorchio are usually the reason for treasure discoveries. Unafraid and brave, a Wocky is a perfect and powerful member of any battle or adventure.

While I disagree whether the difference between 'n00b' and 'newbie' is moot, however, I agree with the proposed merger: the terms are similar, are occasionally used interchangably, and it would appear 'n00b' was derived from 'newbie'... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:55, 28 Aug 2006 (CDT)

:I believe "Spamming Newbs" refers to the fact that some n00bs spam neoboards and other users qith neomail, being constantly annoying even when the question has been answered. of course, this could just be refered to the fact that people pretend to be newbies in order to mess with others andf have fun...hence the n00b. Instead of deletion, add it to a part of the article. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 19:29, 11 Sep 2006 (CDT)

==What?==
<blockquote>''Despite this, it is possible to remain a 'newbie' depending on the context, for example in the context of plots or games, players who have been playing for six years or more may be considered a "newbie" compared to newer players based on their experience in these specific instances.''</blockquote>So.....the person with six years experience is a newbie compaired to someone who is new to the site in the context of plot information? That makes no sense. -- [[User:10-Volt|10-Volt]] 23:33, 20 Mar 2007 (CST)

:It does make sense. Another example: I may be around for several years, with no problem answering most questions in Neopets. But if you decided to ask me regarding battledome related questions, I will give you a totally blank look... I'm a newbie at battledome, yet I'm experience at the same time. But if you're trying to figure out why a six years user is still a newbie at Neopets plots, that will depend on whether he/she is active in those plots. If he/she isn't, he/she can even reply "What plot?" --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 07:46, 21 Mar 2007 (CST)

::See, when you put it like that, it makes sense. However, the paragraph as it is....I don't know. It just seems like it would require more explanation than really necessary of a wiki article. -- [[User:10-Volt|10-Volt]] 14:49, 21 Mar 2007 (CST)

:Yeah. N00bs are spammers. Newbies are spammers [[User:Monkeyyboy|Monkeyyboy]] 08:28, 26 May 2008 (CDT)

==Newbie/N00b==
I disagree with this definition of n00b because I don't think it makes enough of a statement that a newbie or being called a newbie is/should not be viewed negatively, as it's just a matter of account age/experience, whereas a n00b can be of any age and is always used negatively due to (usually) the user intentionally be annoying. I think I've even seen TNT address it but I can't back that up with proof at this time. I don't know that I think these should be separate as they are often confused but I protest the "definition" of n00b. Maybe I'm just misreading but I don't see that this article makes a definite separation between the two. --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 13:38, 17 Aug 2007 (UTC)

:If you think the difference between newbie and n00b can be described better (because the article ''is'' trying to convey that...or what I think it should convey), feel free to update the text. To quickly find out some word on TNT's view of the word, you could do a quick search on [http://sunnyneo.com/NTeditorial.php Sunnyneo's Neopian Times Editorial Search].

==Newbie/N00b==
I disagree with this definition of n00b because I don't think it makes enough of a statement that a newbie or being called a newbie is/should not be viewed negatively, as it's just a matter of account age/experience, whereas a n00b can be of any age and is always used negatively due to (usually) the user intentionally be annoying. I think I've even seen TNT address it but I can't back that up with proof at this time. I don't know that I think these should be separate as they are often confused but I protest the "definition" of n00b. Maybe I'm just misreading but I don't see that this article makes a definite separation between the two. --[[User:Cath|Cath]] 13:38, 17 Aug 2007 (UTC)

Newbie

2008-05-26T13:21:44Z

Monkeyyboy:

[[Image:Newbie Shield.gif|frame|The ''Newbie'' shield which appears on the [[User Lookup]] of a new account.]]
'''Newbie''' is a term used to describe a new user or beginner to certains aspects of [[Neopets (website)|Neopets]]. [[Wikipedia:Newbie|The title]] is not Neopets exclusive, and is in wide use around the internet, particularly in gaming communities, surfacing sometime during the 1980s.

==Overview==
The term ''Newbie'' is a commonly used word across the internet, which Neopets came to accept through the [[NeoBoard]] and [[NeoMail]] discussions between users. It's used to describe those who are new to Neopets or one of it's features, with users introducing themselves as a newbie or others calling them as such.

A newbie can usually be pointed out by how old their account is as shown in their [[User Lookup]] and shield, especially the Newbie shield (last 3 days after account creation). Of course, a new account could be owned by a veteran player, in which case the only true way to know if a user is a newbie or not is by their knowledge of Neopets, as it's possible for a user to play Neopets for many years and still know nothing of certain [[plot]]s, [[Games Room|games]] or other information. In this way, a user could also be called a newbie to a specific topic.

Newbie is usually not seen as a derogatory term, as it's given to those who are usually looking for new information. However, some users have been known to use it as such. Also, referring a veteran user of a new account as a newbie is usually seen as bad practice, and can be viewed as a derogatory remark.

==Newbie Pack==
Since ''(need date)'', [[The Neopets Team]] began to give a '''Newbie Pack''' to new users, which contains a collection of [[item]]s which give users a chance to enjoy Neopets quicker. Notable items include [[Starter Paint Brush]]es and cardboard [[Petpet]]s to help the user understand the concepts of both. Some guilds provide unofficial Newbie Pack's to new users as well, sometimes as a way to attract new members. The Newbie Pack will also contain a book, a Wooden Blocking Shield, and a Blue Ixi Plushie.

==N00b==
'''N00b''' is the [[Wikipedia:leet|leet]] variation of Newbie, with zeros being shown as the letter "O." It is used to indicate a user who may or may not be new, and acts intentionally immature or naïve, often playing Neopets in ways which anger or annoy other users. When ''n00b'' is said to another user, it's context is as an insult, often meaning "stupid."

While ''n00b'' is a corruption of ''newbie'', due to the continuing evolution of leet, new variations are appearing, such as ''noob'', ''n000b'', ''nub'' and ''noobie''. This enter and leave common usage over time, but ''newbie'' and ''n00b'' remain common throughout.

Sometimes n00b is used unfairly, when a player who has just joined does not know about a past event or how a system on the site works, and players more well-versed in this aspects consider them to be time wasting. ''N00b'' should not be used interchangeably with ''newbie'' as the former suggests some sort of ineptness even if the latter is also so. Because of the derogatory meaning used with n00b, it's usually recommended for users to never say it.

Acts which some users commit that are likely to cause them to be branded a ''n00b'' include:

*'''Flaming or Grieving''' - Insulting or making a personal attack on another player, continually or on a single occasion, especially an attack which is unwarranted.
*'''Spamming''' - Posting in the [[NeoBoard]] or [[NeoMail]]ing nonsense or repeated off-topic messages, usually [[Wikipedia:Forum spam|spamming]].
*'''Unsolicited Item Requests''' - Users requesting (usually unsolicited) rare/useful/expensive items, including but not limited to [[paint brush]]es, [[codestones]], and items needed to obtain an [[avatar]] (offering little in return). Frequently, they will consistently repeat their demands, often growing aggressive until they receive what they ask for or are blocked or [[frozen]]. It's common for a user like this to cease all contact with the other user should they receive what they want.
*'''Unsolicited Neopet Requests''' - Similar to item requests, users who (usually unsolicited) demand a users Neopets for one of a variety of reasons such as being a rare [[Rainbow Pool|colour]] or species, possessing high stats or being well known.
*'''Unsolicited Guild Invite Requests''' - As above, users who (usually unsolicited) request an invitation to a user's [[guild]] with no prior contact, or one who sends guild invite requests unsolicited to a user without prior contact.
*'''Scamming''' - Attempting to scam other users for profit, claiming ignorance of real game facts to appear innocent.
*'''N00binator''' - A N00binator deceives users by sending Neopets with low stats (15 HP and less) to the [[Battledome]] with powerful [[Battledome Equipment]], fighting opponents with the same stats as theirs and winning without effort.
*'''Overuse of ''Chatspeak''''' - [[Wikipedia:Chatspeak|Chatspeak]], using constructs meant to be read phonetically and initialisms, is a method of typing that may be much more difficult to understand and in some cases longer to type than the words represented were they to be written properly.
