I would have to agree with most of the posts here, but I have a few things of my own to add. The following is pieced together from various forums and various messages contained in those forums. Here we go:
Blitzerland's Unabridged Guide to Spotting N00bs
1.) If they utilize chatspeak in any way (unless in a chat program, of course), they are probably a n00b.
2.) If they post incredibly stupid and wishful ideas in the "In Production" forum (go read the 'item collector' thread there).
3.) If they do not know how to make games, have never read the tutorials, and yet they still put-down others games (to make themselves look better), they are n00bs.
4.) If they are (as punaman was clever enough to point out) unable to compatently string together sentances, they are a n00b.
5.) Excessive usage of smilies in conjunction with chatspeak (LOLÃ, :o OMGÃ, Ã,Â
i am so l33TÃ,Â
)
6.) You get the hang of it.
