Noob - Newbie

This is my though on the newbie + noob subject: I think everyone should say newbie and not noob, because I think a lot of people think it is offensive. Others use it as a negative, people say "You stink and you are a NOOB" I think newbie would be much better because it comes from the word new (NEWbie) noob just, well noob comes from, mars. So just to keep the community a bit more mature lets say that newie, who agrees? Tell me in poll

A Newbie is a new player.
A Noob is someone who doesn't want to put the time into getting better at something.
eg. Hinter is a parkour Noob.
So yes Noob is meant to be an negative/insult.
but when a newbie is good, i dont call him of "noob"
Conclusion:
Newbies = nice
Noobs = Cancer

"Your Black Cat is only lvl 36, Noob"
Nub - A less rude version of noob. A suffix added to any player name to give a higher recognition.
TRUUUEEEEE

Contrary to the belief of many, a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing. Newbs are those who are new to some task* and are very beginner at it, possibly a little overconfident about it, but they are willing to learn and fix their errors to move out of that stage. n00bs, on the other hand, know little and have no will to learn any more. They expect people to do the work for them and then expect to get praised about it, and make up a unique species of their own. It is the latter we will study in this guide so that the reader is prepared to encounter them in the wild if needed.

So yeah Noob is meant to be an insult,/mild dig. I just think many use it without knowing the meaning and often use it when they should use newb/newbie.
but I don't really trust Urban Dictionary
have you seen some of their results?
look up a popular name
If a player that had been in game for the last three years asked me a question like "How do I craft a cloud" to me they are in fact a noob. In this case it was around long before urban dictionary.
