Polite request - Please read

[tenebra_uk]

Guys, it's not that I want to be pedantic but could you please try to write in proper English, using a bit of punctuation as well every now and then? That would help those who're not English mother tongue as well as the moderators who have to read your posts.

To be perfectly honest with you, I think, you're asking too much from some of the users here. I do not quite understand it myself, as to why it is common place to appear as if one does not understand the basic structure of sentences, but many do it.

Though I do agree it would be a pleasant surprise to find something mildly comprehensible on a forum. My beliefs however predict that the chances of such a turn around from most forum users here is, sadly, unlikely.

Firstly, you do, or only people with a one digit IQ will understand you without translating it into proper English.

Secondly, this is a European website, also visited by people from all over the world. If you need clarification, this means that quite a number of members and visitors are not English mother tongue.

Thirdly, I say so. If you don't want to become bloody pulp under the power of the Mighty Sledgehammer just do what I "politely" ask to do.

[DBZ BROLY]

LOL I WAS JOKIN MAN chill out but we dnt wana do proper grammer

[Saciel]

:confused: I find such arrogance infront of someone entitled moderator on this forum disturbing. It's as if they don't care about being metaphorically kicked in the behind.

...although to be honest I guess it could just be a powerless custom title, so to speak :bored:

[starlight54]

ill try write better grammar, but you save so much time not doing it, just try get used to the abbrevietaions, most people on the forums could read it like proper english anyway, although i get your point about people being foreign on the forum....

[DBZ BROLY]

ok ok i agree but 1 more thing dnt really wanna put grammer properly.

im not at skool u no if i am on my laptop at skool then ill do it but wen im at home usin da computer den forget

[tenebra_uk]

Ok, let's rephrase my post, since some of you seem to have problems not only with writing but also with reading.

Since I'm a polite person, I politely asked you all to make an effort and stop writing your posts as if you were a bunch of headless chickens. I also explained why - this is not a gangsta forum, it's Atari's European website and it's visited by people all over the world, who might not be English mother tongue.

I also - being optimistic - rely on people's intelligence to understand a polite request, without any threats.

Let's move to threats. I have a little button on my screen which you don't have. It's called the "banning button". I press it and surprise surprise, you can't post anymore. I don't enjoy using it but I don't miss any sleep when I do.

So, again, write in legible English or I press the button.

[ss5 goku]

y ave u got a banning button

_______
In fact, I have a post/thread editing and deleting button as well as a banning button. Do you still think I'm kidding? Tenebra

[tenebra_uk]

ss5 goku, don't push it. Any more arrogance and I'll use you as an example for the others.

[ss5 goku]

i'll spirit bomb yr *** try me

[ss5 goku]

any way u cant ban no 1

[tenebra_uk]

ss5 goku, this is your final warning. One more word and you're out.

[ss5 goku]

wat gives u the rite to ban me or anyone

[tenebra_uk]

You've been warned. I'm here to keep things nice, friendly and tidy. I'm patient but I don't take any cr@p.

Edit: ss5 goku, that's 3 pointless posts in a row. To show you I'm not kidding, I'll start with deleting a few of them.

[ss5 goku]

ok that cool so do we have to use proper grammer

[tenebra_uk]

How many times do you expect me to repeat the same thing?:weirdblue

[ss5 goku]

:D thats enough

[tenebra_uk]

Cool. Now write your post (in proper English :biggringr ) for fun and for making friends. Challenging a mod with a sledgehammer is never a good idea :tonguegre

[ss5 goku]

[SS4Blade]

well its because hes a moderator so im going to use proper grammer now lol

[ss5 goku]

what is a moderater

[tenebra_uk]

Have you guys read the forum rules? I suggest you do, if you want to survive here.

A moderator is someone who's expected to read all your damn posts to ensure there is no swearing, no flaming, no pornography, no advertising anywhere in the website. We like things being friendly, tidy and LEGIBLE. The active moderators who take care of the whole website are Warspite, 2PotScreama, Fluxx and myself. BassBooster is the Administrator of the website, which means he has the greatest powers. We can edit and delete posts and threads and we can ban users from the whole website. You should always do what they ask you to do (we're are quite reasonable and nice people, as long as you don't push it too much) and annoying them is never a good idea. Clear enough?

[Nirvana Pheonix]

dont take this offensivly but you guys sound like bullies and that dosent sound safe to me

[Nirvana Pheonix]

u forgot to mention hardwire

[ss5 goku]

wow can i be a moderator

[2potscreama]

No, you cant be a Moderator. You see, only people who arent complete retards are allowed to be Moderators. You have to be able to type in legible English, you have to spend hours reading through dozens of posts worth of rubbish every single day. And most importantly, you have to have an IQ of above room temperature.

We arent bullies, we enforce the rules as set down by Atari. This is their website. If you cant follow their rules, go somewhere else.

By the way, if you think Tenebra was bad (Tenebra is a SHE by the way) then dont push your luck anymore. Otherwise she'll get me in here to Moderate and you really, really dont want that.

She has patience. I dont.

[Nirvana Pheonix]

I can do typing in legible english, I do live in the country next to England, Wales, which is much better than England. England is a close second to Wales. I also have patience, enough patience to spend hours reading through posts that I don't think are worthless, and I have a very high IQ, I've done loads of Test The Nation quizzes and done superbly well, which I myself find surprising and disturbing, I know this isn't a "job" application but I think I would make a very good moderator.
Don't take it offensively but isn't this site about Dragonball Z so why has Tenebra made a thread that has nothing to do with Dragonball Z.

[2potscreama]

Tenebra made a thread telling you all to post in sensible English. It's not a difficult request.

I heard an American kid once say: "I dont need to type in proper English because its the Internet". Well, actually what he said was "1 dnt ned to tpe in prpr eng cos s da intanet" but you get the point.

Anyone with that view needs to be tied down and beaten. Or thrown off the forum.

[Nirvana Pheonix]

u/you shud/should b/be trying 2/to ncorage/enocourage ppl/people 2/to speaK in propr/proper english on the whole site not just 1/one thread so u/you got ur/your point ax/across on this thread so try 2/to do it 2/to the hole/whole site if u/you say u/you want ppl/people 2/too use propr/proper english

[2potscreama]

We ask people to post in proper English where people are not already doing so.

This is the only part of the forum where people regularly talk like 3 year olds.

[Nirvana Pheonix]

keep up with the times why don't ya some people say ya as it's their accent they like to express it as it's just them or some people find the internet a place where you can talk without any boundaries of proper english, this place is for fun chat about dbz it's not a grammar school website, yeh u should stop links to pornogorhic sites but taking spelling to such an extreme as to ban people that sounds like bullying to me and i had enugh of this thread i wanna talk about dbz and that's what i'm gonna do

[DBZ BROLY]

wow a dum banning button if i am banned ill make my own dbz b3 forum which i no where u can make forum wow or i can just sign up in a diffrent person i u wouldnot know hee hee hee

im such a genious hee hee

on the other hand were not at skool if they are not mother tongue go and speak their own language or they can av a seperate forum speacilly made for them

[Nirvana Pheonix]

i cant belive that 2postscreama just locked teen gohan tried and tested thread, that thread stuck to what this forum is about codes and fighting peoples characters from arounds the world and seeing how well others fare against them and if u want people to say too or too or two insted of 2 then why is youre name "2"post screama in "proper english" it would be two post screamer so youre beaking the rules you work so hard to enforce

[2potscreama]

DBZ BROLY, please go and make your own forum and stop filling this one with inane drivel. You couldnt sign up as someone else as we ban by IP address.

joekidwithtail, asking people to type in readable english has nothing to do with "keeping up with the times". The internet is not an excuse for typing like a retard. My name is actually an Australian phrase and is in fact legitimate english.

[Nirvana Pheonix]

ip adress?

[2potscreama]

When a computer connects to the internet it gets an IP address. Its like a postcode for your PC.

For example, your IP is currently 195.93.34.13. I can also tell that you're using AOL. With enough digging I could probably find your geographic area.

[Nirvana Pheonix]

what if i create an atari name using another e mail address from another computer

[Nirvana Pheonix]

and just what IS your pic supposed 2 be?

[Nirvana Pheonix]

youre scary and i dont mean the pic you know too much!

[Nirvana Pheonix]

u can tell im using aol cause its my email address in my profile thats open for all to see

[2potscreama]

Its called Evil Grin.

[Nirvana Pheonix]

is it from dragonball z omega shenron has a capsule called evil grin

[2potscreama]

No its not from DragonBallZ.

[Nirvana Pheonix]

have u got dragonball z budokai 3

[2potscreama]

No, I dont own DBZ3.

[Nirvana Pheonix]

so why are you on this site then?

[2potscreama]

Im here to moderate your posts, not talk about the game.

[Nirvana Pheonix]

page 4 is just a war between me and 2potsreama

[2potscreama]

A war? Son, if we were having a conflict you wouldnt even be here anymore.

[Nirvana Pheonix]

sounds like fightin talk

[2potscreama]

If I was going to indulge in a flame war it would be with someone far more worth my time than you.

Im closing this now before it turns stupid.

[tenebra_uk]

Some of you kids don't seem to understand there are limits that shouldn't be crossed. I'll tell you what, I'll write down a set of rules and writing in legible English will be one of them. If you don't respect the rules, you get a warning. Usually other members are allowed only 3 warnings before being banned, maybe you'll be lucky and get a few more.
