As in ordinary life, there are certain rules on the Internet. And in addition to them - a kind of slang and incomprehensible terms, to navigate among which is sometimes difficult, especially for a beginner. Speaking of newcomers: do you know who a noob is? No? This article will help you figure it out. Although something is already quite obvious: if you are interested in what a noob is, then most likely someone called you that. Now to the point.
There are no people who are well versed in all areas of life. In any case, once and somewhere we were beginners, "dummies." It is especially difficult for people to understand a phenomenon that has only recently entered our daily lives. One of these phenomena is the Internet, along with its many sites, forums, online games and social networks. Naturally, those who first decided to get acquainted with virtual space appear daily. But they are not very well oriented in it. So, speaking about who a noob is, Internet users usually mean just such people. But first things first.
For example, in the game World of Warcraft (if in abbreviation and in Russian - BOB), a noob is a person who has recently come to this online universe. He still knows little about her, looks closely, plays the game (as a rule) carefully.
However, there are other tactics of behavior. Instead of having to sort everything out and gradually pour into the special atmosphere of some forum, the noob begins to harass the old-timers with questions, which, in fact, is incredibly annoying to everyone. Because even among the Internet community, some kind of independence is valued: unable to find out the answer to a particular question on their own? Get a virtual kick! Or, as an option, become an object of trolling. You can even troll thickly - noob will not understand …
Perhaps, besides the fact that you do not know who a noob is, you are not familiar with the term "trolling"? Then you are definitely a noob. Trolling is a special phenomenon on the Internet. And its meaning is to cause negative emotions in as many people as possible. The uninitiated (they are noobs) begin to worry and fight for justice, and the troll sits on the other side of the monitor and insidiously rubs its “shaggy” palms. What is the point? In principle, it is not. Just on the Internet, everyone has fun as he can. And trolling is one of the most common ways. But back to our sheep, that is, to noobs.
Initially, they were called only those who recently “settled” on a forum or site, while getting used to it, they know little, slowly enter the course of things. In fact, any person who first sat down on a computer, went online, went to a new site for him - this is a noob. Who invented this? This, so to speak, term came to us from the English language - "noob", "newbie". Old-timers on forums like to tell newcomers that they are noobs. Most often, Newfags are offended, although the word "noob" itself does not have a negative color. Today, when Internet memes migrated into ordinary life, you can call any beginner in a variety of fields a noob.
Well, now you know who the noobs are. And they themselves became a little smaller noob than they were 5 minutes ago. Welcome to the internet!
