To ask how long a MNetter is classed a newbie for?

[ICantThinkOfAUsernameH]

Just that really ^^.
Been a member 2 years now I think and still feel new

I had the remarkably (for me) intelligent idea of AS my first NN. Apparently, I've been here 7 years in August.

I'm a noob. 😳

Sorry Navy, that probably needed a after it.

You are still a newbie until you get a 'Ahem' from the Ivory Tower.

Ah I've a long way to go yet then

No idea how long been here but a newbie i think. Loving the lists, ive achieved nothing! 😳

How do you check how long you here for as think its longer than i think

You need to know who Sharon is
What Moldiegate was all about
And what happened on that NYE.

I reckon after 3+ years you're a novice rather than a newb.

Let's see:-

Alas not yet

Yep!

Posted in AIBU, have your arse handed to you on a silver plater, and come back to admit you were, in fact BU
I've had my arse handed to me and rejected it because I was NOT U

Ahh I did one better. Someone made a troll account with my old username and pretended to be me. And someone recognised it wasn't!

Own a MN scarf
Ah come on darling. Scarves are so last year!

I was banned at one point. Does that count? I pleaded for forgiveness though so maybe I've lost all moral high ground for that one

You've definitely got to be able to spot all troll threads before it reaches a second page.

I've been here four years but still think of myself as a newbie.

Not sure how long I've been about, about maybe a year or so before Geoffreygate.

I have had:

A post (or two) deleted by MNHQ
A thread moved to classics
A thread in trending
Been recognised on another thread
Had my arse handed to me on my own thread

I've only been here four or five years. i think. I shall have to check. But I did join and then leave and then came back again. I'm getting old, I find it hard to remember what I had for tea tbh, never mind stuff like joining dates.

I've been here 13 years. Still feel like I'm new occasionally

I have been deleted once. My crime? Sarcasm.

I've been deleted loads, I can be quite sarcastic I guess.

Apparently if I had put a smiley at the end it would have been ok.

I have been here since the 21st November and I don't feel in the least bit new.

Oh. My. God. Turns out I've been here ten and a half years

Only found AIBU a few years ago though and got brave enough to post myself a couple of years ago, I think.

I name change all the time and I've renewed my account too so I've no idea how long I've been on here ....but it's been a while. I've been quoted in the Daily Mail several times which seems a MN right of passage. Luckily it was nothing cringe'y - I think that means I'm no longer a newbe.

12 years.

The only thing I've had is the "ahem"

Hmm. Been here a couple years, I think, and I'm definitely still a newb especially by the following:

Briefly, but fell out really quickly.

Not yet but I have hope!

No

Have posted on AIBU but have managed not to say anything egregiously stupid and thus my arse has stayed where it belongs.

Not that I'm aware of!

Own a MN scarf
Wait there are SCARVES? Where?!?

I'm not quite that good yet.

(And I still have no jeffing idea who or what moldies are)

From what I can discern, your probationary Newbie status ends, and you are welcomed to the Inner Sanctum, if , and only if, you are able to explain the relevance to Mumsnet of the following terms:

1. Pom Bears

1. Penis Beaker

1. Easter Fox Mask
