Type out your damn words!

madmatt621 · 02-16-2008, 01:35 AM

When you post on these forums, it is required to post with proper spelling and grammar. If English is not your first language, try your best. However, if you have been speaking English since you were in diapers, you have no excuse.

Shortening words like "you" to "u" or using acronyms all over the place is not acceptable.

This deserves a sticky.

EDIT: Text talk (somthng lik dis) is also unnacceptable. If you are learning English and trying to type it out, I recommend using the Spell Check button (

).

why does it matter? and if you shouldnt do this then why should we be allowed to cus??

Would you rather read something the way it's spelled and understand how it's spelled/used rather than having it the opposite way? We're not allowed to swear on the forum either. That's why swear filters were enabled. Some may know how to break it (Such as I), but what's the point?

Avatars are the only things on the forum that will be allowed with swears in them. Other than that, is not allowed (Negative pictures such as pornography, disturbing images etc).

Cursing of any kind on the forums through signatures and avatars is NOT acceptable.

edit: GamerChat: If I were a mod, I would take your avatar out.

I see it on avatars on FFR. What's wrong with my avatar anyway? It means nothing.
