Hmm... we need noobs.
I hate em, but we gota have them.
I like the noob point idea, and im handing them out now whether u give me permision or not :_P
They should not be visable everywhere, they should not folow your repuatation, they shoould not be associated with your profile in any way.
Everyone is a noob once, and wizzups thread is HUGE to go through. Sometimes people decied to have someone else do it for them, and they deserve noob points for it.
The shame and humiliation on the thread should be enough. Givew a solid reason, and still be helpfull.
Having them folow ure profile would be like a rep system, and that was disabled for a VERY good reason, and I atribute it to why these forums are such a nice place to be.
