locogato11283 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 As of lately, there seems to be a lot of problems with hard to read posts. A lack of punctuation, combined with bad spelling and grammar makes some of them impossible to decipher. While we here at HQ aren't English professors and aren't giving out grades, some form of action needs to be taken. For those of you who are posting with no punctuation, terrible spelling and poor grammar, please note this makes your posts hard to read. We are here to help you in every way possible. In order for us to properly diagnose a problem or make a recommendation, we need to be able to understand what you're saying. Please try to fix these issues and everyone's HQ experience will be much better. I recommend Firefox to anyone who currently does not use it. It has a built in spell checker to help in that department. While it doesn't tell you when to use punctuation or that your grammar is bad, at least your spelling can be impeccable. For those of you who post without these issues, I ask you to not reply to posts or new threads that have the issues. As much as we all want to help, we are doing anyone who posts like that a disservice. By replying, they think that their post is good enough and will continue to do so. As a last resort, impossible to read posts will be deleted. There are many good members here with years and years of Banshee experience. We can all do our part in making sure that these people continue to frequent HQ with their knowledge by showing them that we value their responses and that we aren't here to waste their time with unreadable posts. Thanks and have a wonderful day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellicoseBanshee Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 It is fair to say that many people in our society are not well-read, and that is why our society suffers from a general lack of writing and spelling skills (communication skills in general). Most people should be able to comminicate, with minimal errors, on a forum without some stupid spell check progam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
