For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

I learned as a kid playing star craft that there are noobs and newbs. Newbs are people new to a game who need help learning. And a noob is someone who has played for a while and refuses to learn and would rather troll.
Just made me realize the term is just a shortened form of newbie.
Damn noob ;-)
I've heard this one phrased: "Newbs deserve a helping hand. Noobs deserve a kicking."
I've never heard the terms were treated differently. A troll was just called a troll.
Hm, well, there are trolls and there are trawls
GG ez noobs.
No re?
How do you pronounce newb ?
Likely contentious but my experience has been "newb" has a slight vocal raising to indicate light-heartedness, ie:
Noob: no͞ob Newb: nyo͞ob
