This thread is to announce that I will be enforcing a new rule regarding posts.
Namely, if your post is filled with grammar and spelling errors, IT WILL BE DELETED.
I'm sorry, but this is a discussion forum, not a chat room. Chat-speak isn't appropriate here. The idea is for everyone to be able to understand what you want to say, and to take you seriously for it. I personally find it hard to take someone seriously if we're discussing a topic and all they say about it is something like, "OMG I h8 that lol!!!"
Don't bother posting if you aren't willing to make your post look nice and make sense. Capitalize when appropriate. Spell words right. Don't abbreviate unless it's something you would normally abbreviate. Make sure that if you read it, it makes sense.
I will delete any posts that fail to meet that criteria simply because:
a) I find it unattractive.
b) It's immature and not very professional. When people look at this place, I don't want them to think we're just a bunch of 9-year-olds sitting around playing with our keyboards.
To those of you who have problems meeting that criteria, I apologize for the inconvenience. But making sure your post looks nice isn't a very demanding thing, and I intend to enforce that rule most of the time. Obviously, there might be exceptions, but I would advise you to avoid "chat-speak" if at all possible.
