Well, I was an honest noob, as I usually am =D. I only went to newbie servers, talked alot, learned the noob clap, ect. I also always got pissed off at people who were obviously not noobs in the noob server.
Oh, and I didnt discover the forums until about a month into the game, which I immediatly learned the rules to after getting about 5 infractions in a row.
