theguru Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Attention Bluegrassprepers: We have decided to start a new policy of shutting down threads if they have too many spelling, and grammatical errors. The purpose of this new policy is to make it easier for everyone to read all posted messages, and make communication on the board as clear and concise as possible. Please attempt to use correct capitalization, punctuation, and grammar when posting on the forums. This new policy does not mean that we will close down every thread with a misspelled word or improper punctuation. Nor does it mean that you should point out others mistakes or report a thread with bad grammar. However if the thread is hard to understand, or unwieldy due to bad grammar or lack of capitalization the thread may be closed or edited by a moderator. Thank you, The Management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cshs81 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Hint to BGPers: "prolly" ain't a word. "t-h-e-r-e" - use in "over there" "t-h-e-i-r" use to show possession(ex: "their coach stinks") "they're" - use to say 'they are' (ex: "they're crazy if they think...")

I don't need a capital letter to understand what someone is saying!!!!!! :sleep: Try to read the many of posts that some of us moderators have to read on an almost daily basis and you'll know one of the reason why Guru went to this. Also it shows pride in something that we work hard on everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelfryJustice Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Theguru You totally took me wrong on this. Some people have a very hard time with spelling and the other areas mentioned! I think that the staff needs to rethink this! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
