      Not understanding the linguistic codes of a forum often results in the person being labeled a “newfag” and “normie,” or alternatively a “glowie/glowfaggot” and “shill” (often assumed to work for the CIA or similar)– i.e., being cast as an outsider who is not allowed participation in the discourse. This helps to reaffirm a strong collective identity among the established forum users.
