I have two points to make here. I will get to those in a minute. I probably hold the record for most suspensions among active users, but I feel the need to express my opinion on this matter.
1. I totaly agree with this new rule 100%. I can not count the times i've given up on a post because it appeared to me that the postee was unconscious. Great rule!
2. This is where i get into trouble. I don't agree with they way that regular users are treated when they disagree with a mod or guru. In this post alone I could see a user that did'nt like this rule and showed a strong dislike for the rule. These posters were simply defending his or her point of view and was almost immediately threatened with suspension. I believe if a person is good enough to give their ten dollars then it should not matter what level the user reads and writes on 3rd grade or college level. I don't believe one posters grammar effects the pride of this web site it effects the poster. If that poster does not have a problem with lokking like an idiot then so be. What's with the whole deal of having to explain your posts or smilies? It's like you are being interogated for puttting slleping smilies on the post by itself and then having to explain it to a mod.
extra point- I think the rules on this site are great, but we should not have lick boot heels in order to continue to use the site. I may be the first one to make a statement like this, but I am not the only one thinking it and maybe that is how it should've stayed.
