a somewhat derisive term used in the MMO, Dungeons and Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited's forums
It's meaning is really wrapped up in the context in which it is used.
If there's a real flame war going on, it's much more derisive but with a hint of snarkiness. I think it somewhat more clever than calling someone a "*** guzzler."
If you're just playing around with someone in a fairly inocuous thread, it really conveys more of a "ha ha chucklehead, you're a n00b" kind of thing. It's still a slam but not a particularly mean one in those circumstances.
The meaning changes can be somewhat subtle/ephemeral so you'll really have to base whether you should use it or not more or less on gut instinct. Or rather, the readers of your post will have to interpret your meaning more or less on gut instinct. Hi Welcome must ALWAYS follow the proper form. Otherwise, it's meaning is lost.
