How do many of you feel about helping?

Can you explain your response better? I am not sure what you are referring to.

edits etc..

After re-reading our posts, I think you are saying that I know the context in which both noob and new player are used? In which case, yes, I use noob to mean new player - as in "I'm a noob" when I encounter something for the first time. I've never referred to someone who plays poorly as a noob, if that is what you mean?

Yeah, noob is a new player, I'm Canadian, so I refer to the "bad player" as the "Hoser" but fill in your appropriate slang here, but noob(newb and Newbie) has a pretty standard definition.
