Who hates them?
I don't!

I don't know what peoples problems are with them
So what if they're name got Newbie in it
If they didn't have newbie in they're name would you still complain?

I would like to start a vote on who would like to change the newbie status

When you join do you think you should be called:

Newbie Or Intermediate?

Interesting thought dark, I'm fine with newbies that play like pros, just the thought of knowing most of them but not all of them have at least 2 or more accounts is the frustrating bit for a lot of players and then that obviously breaks the rules.

So I don't really know, at the moment I think we should stay with Newbie when you join.

Thanks

Aha, similar to my thread .. I think people who are actually new to the game, should have the status newbie!

It's people that create new accounts for reasons they have, that shouldn't be called newbies!

I mean, you'd only be called a "fake intermediate" if everyone who joint was called intermediate from start

yeah but how is nick ment to know if its the same player , they use different email accounts :/

ip address i think

newbie when you join with a symbol next to the name if your ip address has been in use before on funkypool so people know?

At the end of the day its a game, if they want to play let them and if you get beat by them, your life won't end. Everyone love Everyone. As Will Ferrell once said.

Whats the big deal, if you dont wanna play them rank play them friendly! SORTED! They arent onlylying to us about their status they are lying to themselves! plus because they are newbies ont mean they cant be good bear that in mind too!

Does mean IP adress yes MMT, you ever typed you username and password into the game and got it wrong it tells you your IP then. 'Your IP has Been Logged' something along those lines.

But like for myself, in my household i have me, my dad, and my sister playing this game. All using the same internet connection, so not much really we can do is there. even though were not newbies, but if we were, it cant result in a Ban for two of us.

But back to the thred, still call them newbies no question about it. People are signing up to this site daily. And maybe 8/10 new users are newbies.

IP addresses are unique to an individual computer in which games can lure out to originate their online features and multiplayer options. It's also used to register forum and website access, and, pretty much everything else your computer does online.

I don't see why anyone would care. I've broke the rules before; I've made joke accounts to play with mates with. I'm even thinking of totally scratching this account and starting from scratch with a new name, new friends list etc. I just don't see the problem. I've broke the rules, feel free to ban me; but I did it all in fun with some online friends.

The abuse some newbies get for just being half decent is ridiculous and something that should be looked at. You say it's no big deal but some of those poeple are genuine newbies or maybe played as a guest for ages. It's not fair on those poeple to abused as they, like everyone else, log in and play to enjoy and it near impossible to enjoy when in some cases you get bullied for it. Abuse is a strong word, but in many cases for good newbies, the opponent oversteps the line of 'accusing' or faulse accusation' rather. Now I understand it might be rare, but there is play as guest option on here, and many people use that to get good(and addicted) before deciding to tackle the leader boards and sign up. Those 'fake newbies' I've noticed seem to be banned within a day so it's not as if they're all over the place as the staff of this site seem to bring them to a hault once it gets a bit supicious. These newbies that alot of you out there seem to mis-treat, show some respect as without proof yo

you are in no place to accuse people.

Totally agree with what your saying,i always say well done if i get bet by them....Some people just hate getting bet by them cause it makes them look awful....same goes for really good pro's against adept's.

Yes!

Something should be done about it!
