Okay, well a lot of people on here (I'm guilty of this too sometimes) have stopped caring about the quality of their posts, or at least they don't care about grammar and mechanics...at all. I know we said that it's not important on the OOC boards, but we lied. I think it's very important to at least MAKE YOUR POSTS LEGIBLE!!!! When I can't understand what I'm reading, I get frustrated!!!!! And so do a lot of other people! So, PLEASE PLEASE make sure people can understand what you're typing!!! It's okay if you have accidental errors!! JUST TRY!
This is okay:
Did you see theyre pants? I thougt they were youres, but i was wrong!
This is NOT okay:
i want to th emall wit youre mohtre. i tank mu prbolem with mr.dnae is taht he hsa ble pants.
See? You can understand the first one, even though there are some errors, but the second one makes no sense!

In addition, don't shorten things up all the time.
like: R u going 2 da game 2night?! brb, pos, ttyl!!
Annoying! and if something isn't a common abbreviation, don't use it. Like etc. is a really common one but don't shorten up like Oatmeal with Ome.
obviously that's extreme.
Oh, and like in roleplay don't call your character their nickname. Like Thundy, Feather, etc. Don't be like: Feather walked to the lake.
because the nicknames are really for OOC...

yeah! good point(s)!!!
Though I don't know WHO would abbreviate oatmeal...or who talks about it... but yeah. Oh, I watched Last Comic Standing and there was this guy who was like, "I have a friend who's really unstable. The doctor says it's because of his job, but I think it's cause he's only got one leg.' and it made me laugh...also there was this one lady who was like "I taught myself sign language on the internet, and now I know how to sign things I'll never need, like *signs* (whispering) 'I'm trapped behind this wall!' and *signs* (whispering) 'And that's how I lost my arms'." It was pretty funny.

umm, I don't wanna be rude but can we have an important post that doesn't completely turn into spam? It's kinda my fault for the whole photo album thing but yeah.

yeah...we should probably be less tolerant of spam, Feather, and all you other staff members out there (who never get on....cough cough....lindsey....) but we all do it so often that it'd be nigh impossible.
