I know I not on chat often and I probably shouldn't be getting in on this, but I just can't not read this and not say something.

First, no matter how you mean for noob to be used, it's original meaning is a new, clueless user, so people will naturally assume you mean that. And that makes them feel excluded. And it sounds like the same people are being called noob, so it sounds like you mean to exclude them [though you could not]. The fact you haven't used noob to more longtime or well known users, but claim it means annoying, doesn't really sound nice.

Maybe you like those users and don't think of them as annoying. But that means their a bigger part of the community, and wouldn't be considered noob in it's original sense. So it sounds like, whether you mean it or not, you are using noob to exclude in it's original meaning.

However, if people are calling you noob I haven't been reported a case nor heard from any other admin or chatmod about being called a noob. I don't think that means it hasn't happened, but to help yourself you need to report it.

And if you're a bystander to this but haven't said anything, you're not helping the problem. This is cyber bullying and is unacceptable.
