I know most of you don't type with proper grammar, but it is a rule, and please follow it. It makes the site look more professional, and you don't all look like your 10 and under or something. Sure maybe I'll modify a few posts with bad grammar, I wont be upset if you have a few grammatical errors. I know most of you are thinking, "Gosh, I get enough of this at school!". But please, do listen. I would really appreciate it. I type with proper grammar all the time and you guys should too.

Thanks.  Cheesy

I don't know. I just don't like people who are all "so i was like omg and yeah!". I don't mind AIM lingo being used here, but grammar is kind of something you should always use.

I try to use it but OMG is a fairly common phrase on the internet
you can't really stop people from useing it, so yeah I guess
if it has to be a rule, and I MEAN has to, the penalties for
breaking that rule are not going to be anything to be afraid of
because if they were then no one would really want to post anymore

Well, yeah. The consequences would just be a warning if a member continues to type without proper grammar. If they do that in every single post, possibly a 1 day ban or something.

I think it should be more of a guideline than a rule.

I don't think people should be forced to use proper grammar, but they should make sure their posts are understandable. They shouldn't be punished for having bad grammar. Although, I tend to think less of the intelligence of the poster if I see them have multiple grammar mistakes. So, I think they can use proper grammar at their own risk.

Yeah that sounds good. If I feel like editing their post to correct their grammar, I will, but if its just terrible, I'll either delete the post or warn them to stop.
