For the last few months i have noticed something that is really getting me mad. Now don't get me wrong, i don't suggest banning people that make a few spelling mistakes. I don't think we should around punishing people that don't speak English as their first language. Here are a few examples of the kind of spelling that makes this forum look like it's used by mostly 10 year old's.

See? What does that do? It makes the forum look bad. It's hard for people to understand. All together bad spelling ruins alot of things.

But, there are some bad parts of this rule,
and some good parts.
So basically, post your ideas!
If you vote, be sure to comment!
This is not official, just to gather some opinions of what people think about this.

What will the original post make the thread turn into? A spam fest, mostly because no one understands. But the second corrected version will make a good thread. So, what i am proposing is some sort of warning system.
If you make such a horribly spelled post people can't understand, you get a warning. Then the next time you ignore it and spell horribly again, you get an infraction. Discuss.

Gay, the only thing that makes this forum look bad is the badly monitored black market. I honestly don't care if you have bad grammer and or spelling.
 
i agree, i mean like it is one thing if you cannot spell a word or two, but when peoples whole sentences are messed up it pisses me off
 
I agree with Slave. Personally, I'm a bit of a Grammar Nazi, and poor spelling takes years off my life, or so it seems.
 
Totally agree, I'm tired of seeing this, English is my second language and I write better than some kids on here, and it pisses me off if I can't read a damn word.
 
^ true.

I support good grammar/spelling.

I've always seen slave say "your" for you're

:s
 
For people that actually can't spell very well and aren't just lazy, just get the newest Firefox. I'm pretty sure it comes with the spell check, and if not, just download the extension. It really helps.

I'm guessing alot of people ignore the red underlined words.
 
Well, people who talk "liek dis" gets me angry, but if they talk like "i need to go" it's still readable.
 
Those who cannot spell properly are obviously under the appropriate age for the Internet.

Or if their IQ is below 50.
 
I agree that with some people it can't be helped, but some people have no excuse. I think that in SFA especially, warnings should be given out to people who use horrible grammar and spelling.

Alright.

1 spelling mistake = BAN + mail anthrax to them + trick them into getting rick roll'd for life.

Sound good? Happy now? lol

What about people who barely know English, lets just discriminate against them. Also not to mention various spelling errors in the original post (OP), grammatical errors, by your standards, you have a warning. Also this rule should never be put in place, as it contradicts the rule of DISCRIMINATION. How about we make it a rule that you now have to speak perfect Chinese or else you will be infracted. Well because about 3/4 of the population will end up banned.
 
We could get spell cheak in the chat bo..... Nvm, Just found it :P
