Amendment 1: Noobs only [break the rules of the guide] thinking they're funny, cute, or just like pissing people off. So breaking these rules in attempting to be a noob does not count as noobishness.
Amendment 2: If a noob continues his/her/it's noobish ways to a point where they are breaking the rules of the website/gameserver, he/she/it has no right to resist a short-long banning.
Amendment 3: For rule #6, general typos can't classify you as a noob. Words that are easy to spell, such as 'scene' or 'since', being misspelled will be a violation of Rule #6. Forgetting one or two characters is considered a typo.
Amendment 4: In regards to #23, moving away from the topic of discussion is not considered noobishness as long as said 'off-topicness' is in some shape, way or form related to the real topic of disscussion. (Ex. When talking about trains, you move onto the topic of pollution)
