Dan6061 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 We'd get way less members (new members included) if they got suspended for missing out a few letters.Fair enough it's annoying, but that's a little over the top?I've heard people on rides saying how they don't bother with T-F because the NMC is shite. I think it'd be good to have everyone a full member when they sign up (Except for the forsale/wanted?) then if they spell really badly etc, then we can report them and they go to NMC until they sort it out?Could work...

Token Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Seriously.. rofl at these suggestions. Its the f**king internet not universityGranted, it's not play school either. I doubt a fair few people in NMC could even spell their name. Spelling words correctly is hardly as tough as University, an it's just common netiquette to make sentences legible, otherwise there's really no point in posting anything if nobody can read it an if they can't put the effort in to spell an punctuate then why should anybody put the effort in to reply an help them.

MadManMike Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I think we should just ban everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 i think what the real point i tried to make is.. the normal members area isnt bad enough to warrent needing all of these warnings or whatever has been said. However sticking a few tools (excuse the pun) in nmc would probably benefit a lot of them in to getting validated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 How about put all the people who can't spell into NMC?Oh, wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'll be honest. If I don't see people using capital letters at the start of sentences, and the appropriate punctuation at the end of sentences - as a bare minimum - I don't validate them.Anyone who managed to make it through primary school knows those basic rules, and it's not really hard to touch the Shift key at the same time as a letter key to make it capitalised. Similarly, it's also not hard to dip your finger down to the ',', '.', '!' or '?' buttons to correctly end a sentence. It makes a massive difference to the look of your post, and in most cases satisfactorily hides the fact that the person posting hasn't got a f**king clue what they're talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
