Createblog loves newbies but being a n00b on CB isnt so easy right? , Lots of people who correct everything you say and do , who doesnt catch net feelings?


Theres a HUGE difference between a n00b and a newbie.

What is a n00b you ask?



What is a newbie you ask?



I dont know about you n00bs, but I rather be a newbie..



Now , your probaly wondering what are the " n00b guidelines "?


1. Reading the community guidelines is a must.
Not reading the community guidelines is like trying to build a castle out of puzzle pieces and not reading the instructions , your bound to make mistakes. For example " double posting , repeating a topic , bashing etc." can be avoided by reading the famous " community guidelines ".

2. Embracing the search button.

Embrace it , love it , learn it .. marry it if you have to. Dont make any type of topic without embracing the search button first. Unless its one of those more or less personal topics ( sharing photography , personal stories ) each topic must include at least a request for an answer/suggestion/opinion.

3. Typing correctly.

dO y0u ThInK tyPiNg LiKE ThIs MaKeS YoU CoOl? , well newsflash , we feel bad for you , give your 1st through 5th grade teachers something to be proud about! , type normally , and make sure its readable.

Other annoying types of lettering.

1. THiS iS NOT CUTE iN A FORUM , MAYBE iN A NiCK BUT N0T iN A F0RUM!
2. l337 woot woot 11111one11111!!!11
3. TYPING ALL IN CAPITALS
4. Typing regularly , but all in bold =/.

^ Please do NONE of the above.

4. THINK before you type , theres too many people who dont do that, we dont need one more.

Ignorance is spreading on CB , dont know anything about the topic ? , DONT REPLY.

5. Spam / Advertising is a huge No No.

Advertisments

1.

2. If you;

1. Dont know the answer to the question..
2. Dont understand the question and everyone else seems too..
3.Have nothing to say..

then dont reply , simple right?

We dont care what your selling! , we do not care for advertisements or spam , so please dont do it.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ;

5. Be yourself.

You dont need to copy anybody to be " cool " , being yourself is cool enough.

So if you want to be a newbie and not a n00b , keep these things in mind.

- Emmalie.

good job good job!

maha. if there's a createblog center where you learn how to be cool, this should be part of it.

You named the weird kInDs oF TyPiNg, but what about illiteracy?

dont ppl hoo tlk lyk dis maik u angrieee???!!@

Nice guidelines.

Nice job, Emmalie

this should be pinned.

finally. THANK YOU.

nice job, emmalie.

Excellent job with this, Emily! Should we pin this maybe..in introductions or announcements?

this seems silly...its all been said before

PIN PIN PIN PIN PIN!!!!!

nice job! this should be pinned

i was thinking the same thing...

I'm a n00b.
I just know how to type.

^ Haha. I think you're newbie, since you don't annoy me.

Great job with this! I think it should be pinned. I know it's been said before, but maybe n00bs need a pinned thread at the very top of the page in order for them to actually read and understand.

Interesting that you made many run-on sentences in there..

do you know what's so dissapointing about this? that no matter what you say we will always have n00bs in cB to annoy the crap out of us.

there will forever be n00bs haha but very nice emmalie. haha

Nice job
I think this should help a lot of newbies.

i hear that on online games like starcraft and i think warcraft, "newb" is new to battlenet.

woah! thats a good explaination and its gonna help alot

thanks..

and this really is a great post.

i'm not going to pin this because n00bs aren't going to read (& follow) it wether it is pinned or floating around the forum.

I was thinking of telling her, but I thought it would be rude. =X

that's funny...Noob is a funny word
will this be pinned?

That was well written!
Good job on explaining how to be a newbie, that cleared it up for me too.
