Necessary Course of Action

[virado]

I don't have a problem with people posting bad grammar for the post part as long as it's within reason
"dude thats so awsome!!" is fin by me but
"DUED thats so 4es0m3" is over-doing it in my opinion but then again I am a tolerant person.

[coredump]

it is overdoing it, and against the forum guidelines....

Typos are another thing to watch out for.

The original point and intention is good... but I don't think that the results will be all that good.

At least it is for the good of all and ease of reading. For that, I applaud you.

The original post I made is a bit dramatic and too strict.

I should clarify I'm not going to come to your residence and crucify you if you spell a word incorrectly(BTW Virado you left off the e in fine in line 2 of your last post =P ).

Also If your sentence doesn't contain all the proper elements of a sentence and is just a short response(such as shown below) obviously I'm not going to complain.

Forum dude 1: "Hi, can the regular hive tyrant fire two psychic shooting attacks in a turn?"
Forum Veteran: "No"

What's irritating is when people just exclude one or more words from a sentence entirely which makes it a guessing game to figure out exactly what they mean. Also when they misspell a BUNCH of words in their post(we have a built in spell check for god's sake. You can right click the words underlined in red and it will GIVE YOU A LIST OF CORRECT SPELLING FOR SIMILAR WORDS).

See:

Forum poster 666: Hai can hive tyrant sue too psychic power? Caus my frend says yes.

Me: That depends. Firstly do you mean can the Hive Tyrant use two psychic powers? Secondly do you mean in a turn or over the course of a game. Thirdly do you just mean use two psychic powers or use two against an enemy. Third again, because I don't want to hit number 4, do you own a (please do not swear or intentionally curse to have it blurred out or try to cheat the swear filter) rulebook? Dear father in heaven you made me hit fourthly, what does your "frend" say yes in regards to?

Granted I'm highly opposed to internet slang on the forum, when not used excessively it can be in good taste or at least tolerated. And obviously we have our own abbreviations such as HT and whatnot.

I'm going to go rage about something else now. Ciao. Glad to see this thread has gotten love.

To be honest I'm guilty of this, but it's been a problem (a real problem? OMG!) for me since, well since I learnt writing.
I think of what to write in my head a bit quicker than I actually write, and due to my excellent short-term memory I fool myself that I've already written something. I tend to find out when I re-read and edit it though, but writing by hand isn't as merciful.

Cheers!

I know how that one goes. The mind is faster than the fingers.

But, in most cases, it is usually fairly clear as to the original intention. Some cases, where two or three words have been missed, can completely obliterate the original message.

I usually re-read my posts at least twice (the longer it is, the more I check) and I still miss things... and I take some pride in finding others mistakes... so... yeah...
