Okay, this probably won't be anything new. What I'm posting is basic things that you learn in kindergarten. But why am I making this a rule? Because unproper and lazy english makes the site look tacky.
Here are the rules.
1. Use capital letters- This is the most common thing people haven't been doing. It takes little time, so please do it.
2. Constntly leving ot leters n wrds is anoyng- This is just as bad as half talking. Can people understand you if you where to slur all of the time when you talk? Well mispelling every other word is doing just that.
3. Do not use a translater- Sorry guys, but online translaters are not the best choice. There is an 75% chance that we will not understand what you are saying. Why, because in languages such as spanish, words are in different orders as they would be in english so when you translate them, they stay in that order. For example, "Welcome to the forum" in some languages might translate to "Welcome the to forum". If you really want to join the site, but do not speak english, then get an interpreter that can be online whenever you are.
4. Use proper grammar- Another common thing. I cannot think of any other reasons not to do it except for it makes you look like a two year old.
5. No spam posts- Posting one or two word posts is considered spam on forums. If someone where to ask you a question, answer it with a complete sentence and if you can, explain why you chose that instead of just putting a one word answer. That one word can possibly be a paragraph if you put some work into it, but all I really ask is a full sentence.
I will add to this sometimes.
Note: There is a difference between accidently mispelling words and lazy typing. Lazy typing will not be tolerated because that shows that you are capable of spelling right, yet refuse to do so.
