New Rule

[shizzle]

Yeah it is annoying and some people actually say other people have bad grammar and they are bad at it themselves.

Personally I just find that more ironically funny than offensive

Definitely agree with this. They make themselves look very silly.

Hi,

I think we should have a new rule stating that people can’t make posts commenting on other peoples spelling and grammar mistakes. In retrospect it’s a form of bullying and if you keep posting negatively about that person saying "Oh you can’t even speak English" or "You have the grammar skills of a 3 year old", those are all forms of bullying. Some people can’t help their spelling and grammar because of things like dyslexia and other learning disabilities. Also, the people responding with these negative comments seem to start arguments within the thread, attacking the creator.

What are your comments on this?

I can't help it; I could hardly understand what he had written. It may not be perfect, but it's a lot better than it was before.

I don't really understand your post. It may be me being a tad thick but could you explain a bit more?

We should have a new rule about the correcting of spelling and gramatical errors by another member within a thread or post.

Okay well I think if somebody is always correcting somebody's grammar they are essentially baiting somebody so that is covered. Also there is a rule about insulting people which also covers it but I feel this thread is important because it has highlighted a problem that some members may just be 'suffering' in silence about it.

[bo$$]

no .

[FlyingJesus]

Didn't read thread blah blah blah but yeah I voted no because it's not something you should actually legislate, just have it discouraged. People already think that saying it is stupid, so making people feel stupid for saying it to someone else is a much better deterrent than a warning

Thanks for the replies everyone! Especially Catzy! I wasnt trying to paticually say about making it a rule, i just was trying to make the fact highlighted we HAVE a problem with this on the forum and that somthing needs sorting about it.
