Forum Pollution

I've recently noticed a dramatic increase in the number of forum members that possess a total disregard for the proper use of the English language. In addition, many of the worst offenders have nothing worthwhile to contribute in the first place. These simpletons have made sifting though the forum quite a chore. Might you consider expelling some of the more counterproductive members?

Thanks for listening.

Glad you brought it up, Rich. Yes, I'm considering just such an action. When you blow away every post they make and they don't notice, yeah, they obviously don't hold much value in their posts themselves, so why should we care?

Just a reminder... THESE ARE THE RULES.

What once was the term? "The Banhammer"?

I prefer to give them (in Strong Bad terms), the "Double Deuce."

Yea, those people are really annoying, get rid of them, lol.

Be careful... some would include you in that group.

I have no idea why, but I read that entire post in a heavy English accent.
One must never forget, we are only penning our thoughts about the weighty topic of , (roll your tongue on this word), rrrroller coasters.

Not just rrrroller coasters but everything pertaining to Cedar Point.

how many of the people the post or over 30. a lot of the way teens talk now is diffant then how you talked back then. teens now a days could say stuff and us words ,and you would be like what dose that mean. just thought i would let you know

Well, if those teens are you they're stupid.

Most folks around here capitalize the first words of their sentences, use question marks at the end of their sentences, spell words properly, don't leave out those special words in sentences that make them sound like English, and use ending punctuation.

In case anyone missed it, the point of my original post was the counterproductive nature of a number of recent posts. I have little patience for people who only post worthless comments or stupid questions (with often easily accessible answers).

Additionally, it just so happens that many of the posts in question are almost completely unintelligible. That said, slang or somewhat poor grammar are not really an issue.

In a nutshell, please respect the other members of the forum by making your posts constructive and readable. I don't think that's too much to ask. :)

I'll go with (what I think was) JuggaLotus on a forum I saw a few hours ago, and say:

dose: a medicinal measure of volume.

does: the act of doing something.

(Note: I don't have a word for "diffant", and "us words".)

Has anyone noticed that this post is around 6 months old?
