Topic: You know one thing I have noticed lately is No spelling police

[GE-Raven]

I try not to make may typos, and I do attempt to keep my verbosity at a minimum.  However there are certain posters in which I feel the need to make sure I leave few, if any, stones unturned.  

I will admit there are still a few left who could use with some help on paragraphs and genreal punctuation.  But, I would never wish to Moct (mock?) on anyone.

This thread does not exactly fit in cool and refreshing - considering its discussion of bannings I believe it belongs in the private forum that I have not joined on principle. If you want to dump on people where they cannot cannot defend themselves do it in private. That is what your new forum is for.  What's the matter, no fun if the public can't see it?

Being one of the charter members of the new private forum, I can say that there is no dumping on people, nothing going on there in all honesty that didn't go on in the old Hot and Spicy Forum.  No naked orgies, no pointing our fingers and laughing at the poor slobs who only post in the C & R forum.

In my opinion, having the Hot Topics as a private forum gives Taldren one more layer of legal protection.  In an open to the public forum, anybody could wander in and be insulted, horrified etc by something that was said creating legal liability.  In the private forum there can be no "gee I didn't know what to expect, I didn't know what would go on in there, poor pitiful me."

From what I understand, most of the FUN stuff goes on in the moderators forum.

Oh I don't know.  I proofread pretty regularly and still manage to be fairly offensive, much of the time.    

I must have missed those posts.  I don't recall your ever offending me.

You sir, however, have offended me. I challenge you to a duel!

As the challenged I get to choose the weapon (Long  Bow) and get first shot.

Oh, and you capitalised "no" in your title when it should not have been (in addition to Greens corrections).

I used to correct the spelling here on the old forums under a different name to lighten up heavy arguements sometimes but gave up after a time. (I realised the futility of my efforts...)  Some people's writing has improved considerably while here; practice makes perfect!    

 The heck with spelling, I found this to be snotty, nasty and totally uncalled for.
 I mean really, Is that any way to talk to somebody? Whats up with all the hostility & anger?
 If you have a problem with Hot & Spicy take it up with Taldren. Don't Crap all over the people using it.

I think some of you might get a kick out of the second to last post in the following thread: http://forums.taldren.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB12&Number=303391&Main=300257#Post303391

Online dictionaries are like antilock brakes- not used (properly) at all.

You can give 'em all the books in the world,
if they use 'em as paperweights, it won't make
a difference

If you have been here in the early days after SFC eaw got released up to the release of OP you would have seen the spelling police in force. Espicaly those that used to discount others arguments simply because of a few misspled words.

I for one am glad they are gone, it almost tore this place apart along with a few other events.

Just some random posting but something that I have noticed lately and dont miss it.

[Corbomite]

You're right. Why worry about correctness and the truth when you could be ignorant?  

[Green]

EAW should be capitalized and preceded by a colon.

You misspelled:  "especially", "misspelled"   and left the apostrophe off of the word "don't."





Feel better?  

[jualdeaux]

It wasn't the occasional mis-spelled word that people objected to. It was posting style. Some people had posting styles that made it extremely difficult to read and understand.  We also had users that really over used shortcuts meant more for instant messaging than posts.

I've wanted to correct you on your spelling K, if nothing else I used to jam at English. but lately I have found myself having to correct myself and write things down, so I have no room to talk anymore. I just wanted people to get the best impression of you amigo.
