Newbie] Me: 'pauses abruptly to scratch his crotch' What does that mean?

Your newbie channel privileges have been revoked.
Newbie] An Immortal: Person has lost their newbie channel privileges

Would anybody mind explaining to me what the hell I did wrong so I can at least try not to do it again?

I use newbie all the time to ask questions and learn about the game. What the hell?

The gist was your newbiechan looked like a troll (thanks, Krilcov) and the imm in question pulled the trigger maybe a smidge too fast.

Thanks. I really need newbie channel sometimes, still.

Obviously you know now what it is, and I believe the imm should restore your newbie channel privileges.

that your char had a disease/sickness and thought you were just being funny.

But you had a sickness. I think you can heal the majority of those at a healer.
