If you want this list to go anywhere I suggest you weed it a bit. We want only RS-specific definitions (so 'owned' wouldn't work), as the non-RS definitions can be placed in another file.

so noob/newb can't be in it because it isn't JUST used in rs, its used in other games as well? owned is used in rs and some people may not know what it means, or haven't played other games before......

Yeah... It's probably not a good idea to put ones on there that involve getting around the RS filter... Like the words "Gai", "WDF",

ffs -for f***'s sake
also...noob generally has a different meaning for more literal users; meaning that the person is acting in a way to ruin the game for others.

I still don't see where your coming from fire, they ARE RS defintions, whether they are used in other games/places or not. If you split em people would just have to read 2 different guides.

And I agree with dba, shouldn't put things in that encourage others to go around the censor.

Does not belong in there.

I see where FBX is coming from though, stressing RS specific definitions. Some of what is being suggested is applicable outside of RS and therefore, does not really belong in an RS dictionary. They would be better in a dictionary of common online terms.

But they are used in RS which means they belong in the dictionary. There is no point making two guides, sometimes online terms may differ from Rs terms.

Online Term:
Noob - Someone new to the game, chat etc.

RS Term:
Noob - Someone new to the game, chat etc. Or can be someone ruining the game for others as Slim said.

What you have to take into account with some definitions is that people use them incorrectly, or differently from their original definition. Your example of a 'noob' (derived from 'newbie') being 'someone ruining the game for others' is to my mind incorrect. 'Noob' refers only to a newer player than yourself by its original definition. Another example is 'pure', which traditionally meant a pure melee (in most contexts, range or mage pures can exist however) character with no magic or prayer at all. But people have consistently used the word 'pure' when referring to characters with prayer levels. So what is the entry in the dictionary?

My 'noob' example was poor I'll admit. But I see no point in having two guides; both could contradict one another and distort the original meaning of the word.

Non-RS words can sometimes be different from RS Words. Over the years differences have begun to emerge and I think it would be unreasonable to stick them into another guide. It's a RS Dictionary, and should include RS words, regardless of them having other meanings elsewhere. It's what they mean in Rs that's important.

Given that, any definition included in the dictionary should only give the RS meaning making it an RS specific dictionary.

And, as Firenimmo pointed out, some definitions are not going to have agreement within the community. The 'noob' example is a perfect example of that. The definition of noob has been debated within this forum (and RN) many, many times without any clear agreement. Now you would need to include the most common definitions of the word.

I'm not saying a dictionary should not be compiled, I'm saying that it needs to be done right and thoroughly. Most of the points I see raised are merely pointing out the pitfalls of assuming this is an easy and quick job. It's not. It may just cause you to pull your hair out after awhile.

Two files.

The first file is a guide to normal internet slang and 'basic' rs terms, such as noob, ftw, duel, etc.

The second goes esoteric. DDS, DDP, Nat, Abyssing, etc.

Putting them together would be messy and confusing.

[b]Terminology Guide:

#A

• AFK - Away from keyboard.

  Since there are many definitions for 'Choob,' you may want to include several.
  #J
  
• JK - Just kidding.
  #L
  
• Lrg - Large.
  This probably belongs in the RS-specific dictionary.

  #S
  
• Soz - Sorry. (I've heard various definitions for 'Soz' but sorry seems to be the most common.)

• Tyvm- Thank you very much.

Just my 2gp worth.
