'course actually having to type an entire message may scare some people away:D

[ShadowWolf_IH]

while i may not like the way a person speaks, what gives me the right to tell an uneducated person, or a person of lesser intelligence that what they post will be deleted, simply because they are uneducated...or not too bright?  For what it's worth i understood exactly what the guy was asking.  Then again, maybe the admin in question isn't much brighter than the person who created the post used in the example.

Basically, this is a stupid rule.

[Solatar]

I think if somebody is really not intelligent enough to type in complete sentences, and use capital letters + the occasional period, then they probably couldn't work their comp...

[ShadowWolf_IH]

If you read ythe rest of his thread, you see it to be a double standard.  I guess that is what irks me most about it.

I didn't like the latest iteration of the RBB, because it's always to strict. I'd prefer HLP keep it's current rules, and not adopt those of an anal-retentive board (don't get me wrong, it's a fun place, but it's waaay too strict)

[Thorn]

I'm not saying we should be as strict as them, I'm saying that being able to read a person's post is a good thing, and someone who has the capabilty to write an intelligble post, but doesnt bother to because they dont read it after they type it out, should have it deleted to prove a point...

[ShadowWolf_IH]

but the choice is still yours....you don't have to read a post by that person.  you can always block them.

Translation: "If you type with this spelling and grammar, you are an idiotic dip****."

I am goodamned sick of illegible posts and 1337-5p34k. This rule should be enacted here.  If you are not good with English, put your posts through a spelling/grammar checker. Please.

Too true. Oh well, no great loss. These are probably the kind of people who drive motorcycles of cliffs (probably the vast majority of Darwin Awards are given to motorcyclists) for kicks.

Looks like Bobboau's going to have to be kicked off the forum then. Which of you lot want to tell him?

I disagree with it. My reasons are:

1. HLP does not need this, because I think all posts here are in English, expect a very few(for example the french conversation in the Campaigns forum) posts. I think it can be forgiven.

2. About bad English, I also have to disagree, English forums are a good way to learn English and improve your vocabulary(I have a complete txt file standing from new words I have learnt here, like dude, crux, hilarious etc.).
2-sub: It is also possible that somebody mistypes a word like the word 'Smile' to 'Simle', that is really not a reason to be deleted.

3. Bad English used by a foreigner is also a good way for native speakers to get trained understanding foreigner english.

4. I think the admin of this Relic forum is talking easy: He is probably a native speaker, and american or a brittish. The whole thing is unfair.

I haven't met a single unintelligible post since I registered. But I haven't been here that long.
