I think that "no twink" means a very specific and strict rule that you don't transfer good items onto a character to power them up. At all. Ever
I agree fully with arguments along the lines of "what's wrong with giving a high level character high level items?"
Imo, there's nothing wrong
Hence I usually twink
It's a point of semantics (word-meanings) rather than ethics I think
Incidentally we have a lot of no-twink groups and no-twink characters over at the Amazon Basin and I'm quite sure this is how the rest define "twink" too
Ultimately though you just need to agree with the group of people you're playing with what you mean. As long as you all have the same understanding of what you're allowed to do you should have a good play experience
As for the arguments about twinking being moving items onto a low level character from a high level character can I point out a hole in the logic? Usually people who twink move the items from a level 1 mule - that hardly means they're no-twink ;)
