I have to point out that there
is a tagline when viewing a mod, that states whether the addon works with the current (2.3 in this case) patch. Perhaps it could be made a bit more obvious, or perhaps colored? You make some really good points, and it's nice to view things from a fresh perspective.
"Newb" or "Newbie" - someone new, and relatively clueless. Be gentle. We were
all there once!
"nub" - someone who should know better or have learned better, but hasn't or won't. Also known as griefers, idiots, lamers, campers, etc, etc.
