you guys should stop doing that thing of the grammar...i think everyone can read what ppl says without ur grammar corrections (im talking about MODS and thsoe guys)
Diso
we fix it b/c its mch ezer to read though rather than hving to read thru pargrhphs of typso and stuff

Some attempt at grammar makes everyone happy.

wait wait wait....

so you're complaining because the mods go through your posts and clean up your grammer mistakes?!?!
so they're doing YOUR work and you're complaining?

personally, i perfer grammer to be as proper as possible, the occasional typo is ok, as long as the context is understood, but when it starts looking like

i rely wnt 2 no how 2 kil stuf.

then you should start getting BANNED, not complain that the mods are cleaning it up!

You said a bad word to a user. im reporting you to the m0d3raperz tongue.gif


I think its a great thing that moderators/admins fix up the users post. I find the whole thing to be beneficial. smile.gif



A. The user won't get flamed at by the other users.
B. Everyone will miss out on a good laugh from your post.
C. There won't be much shame too it. Except underneath your post you'll see the message "This post has been edited by the moderator".

What indeed.

It illustrates my point quite well.

There are several things that should be instituted to be allowed to connect to the internet, and grammar is one of them.
All these AOLer lingo's need to go away too. "LOL" is about the ONLY thing I want to see in short-form on the internet, and theres to much of it with EVERY word/sentence these days.

ISPs should implement testing before activating accounts, and you should be adhere to these things.

1: Not using shortforms of anything but known context, such as "lol" "lmao" "roflmao". "IGOIBBL" (I'm going out, I'll be back later) is NOT proper usage FFS!

2: Get some spelling lessons dammit! How hard is it to type "Your" instead of "yer"? You look like you're trying your hardest to have your words make you look like some loser gangster rapper. Get lost with that!

3: Grammer, as stated above. Spelling comes into play much here. But moreso, it's the use of your words, and the order you put them in. If you can't put a proper sentence together, get your ass into summer school and stay off my internetz!

So, you've returned to the scene of your crime....

For anyone who is wondering what he's referring to, read this -> http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=14258

For rubbishing the forum, I gave him a temporary posting ban. He therefore created a dupe account,
for which I deleted both accounts and added an IP ban.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't do it again? Bismark this is your very last chance to make amends.

You can stay or go, that's up to you.

But, if you stay, all we ask is that you behave yourself.

Criticising the forum or the staff is not on.

You can use the Attack System to kill other members if you are feeling frustrated.

Truth. Additionally I think we should have a rule that anyone who habitually uses punctuation marks to represent letters deserves an instant ban. There are letter keys on the keyboard you elite motherflockers. Harsh but fair.

Seriously though, if you can't speak English.. hmm.. maybe there's some leeway in this for you. But if you just type like a retard because you're lazy or want to stand out, then GTFO. Stream of consciousness crap has its place where people like to be flocked around ambiguous meanings- Here? Just get the point across as simply as possible. Its just common courtesy for the people who would reply and help you out. Isn't the creation of dupe accounts to circumvent posting bans also against the terms of service or whatever you have to agree to when you register?

NOt familiar with that one...
But i wouldn't go to dat level of limiting grammer, but just enough so that we can understand.
Unless you're not trying to make sense, like me sometimes... biggrin.gif
Shoma is fluent in proper English, slang, internet lingo(?) and his favorite, "WTF is he saying?!"
If we understand each other, thats good enough for me. I dont need a correct spelling to understand but....cmon, we all should know the friggin basics.

I'm sure Someboddy could tell you about the time I started posting only in 1337 and he'd translate everything I'd post... good times. smile.gif

Perfect grammar isn't exactly necessary on the internet, but at least being able to type understandably is. I think there should be some leeway for people who are non-native speakers though.

I do have some users (really just one) on my forums that are native English speakers and absolutely refuse in any way, shape, or form to attempt typing any sort of proper English. It absolutely drives me nuts to see an American whose English is much much worse than the Chinese (just as an example, I'm not knocking them; English is damned hard to learn, especially for speakers of non-latin/non-germanic languages) people there.

why must people complain about that.... they should know how to speak and type perfect English and people say oh its just to make it quick and simple... well half the time you don't know what the hell they are trying to say....

little story thats true.

i was at school one day and this new kid was trying to hang around with us and he was like yo da foo is stupid so i turned around and i smacked him a good smack in the face and hes was like... wat da hellz wuz that for... and i was like leave NOW and hes like why though i dint do nuffin and i smacked him again and told him to leave again because hes too stupid to speak proper English.

you know if you guys think that something try this:

هاو ر يو

If you spoke arabic this is actually saying "How are you" (not a translation). Forums like that actually exist believe it or not.
