==> ALL MEMBERS: Please read! <==

[Bonaparte]

But seriously, we should have some sort of filter that automatically reformats posts with poor grammar and spelling into proper English before they are posted (not spell check, like the A$$hole = MEGABLOK. A filter.)

We could use all kind of technological tricks, but I don't want that (we have a limited bad words filter already today). Members will have to make decent post without any filters or stuff like that. Like I said before, if that's too difficult for some members then they will soon be leaving us.

Thank you for this. I will be sure to watch what I do, and try to help others as well. .

No need to thank me

However, before you read this post you posted in another thread:

Couldnt the new price jump be because of all the new molds. I mean every set has a couple new molds.

In the future you should write

Couldn't the new price jump be because of all the new molds? I mean every set has a couple new molds.

Oh, I'm sure of it.

Often I see members writing 1 word when commenting on a MOC or review. Example: "Cool!".

Well, if "Cool!" is all someone can manage to write as a comment, then there is no place for this member on an adult community like Eurobricks. That's the meaning behind what I wrote. So from now on, writing only "cool" is not "cool" anymore and will get you kicked under the butt and locked in lonely place :skull:

I've been well aware of that since my scare.(Bad ryming) I think this should be front paged if it is not already. A very good message to the whole community, they should be afriad of that dark and scary place.

The whole one word post is a bit rediculous.

[Siegfried]

Do remember that this is nothing new so don't be expecting any final warnings. On the same subject, don't forget the TFOL issue; a few days ago I noticed a member that still had it in their signature.

It's great that you made these rules! I hope the Star Wars forums improve. Well done Bonaparte.

[Oky]

Yes, thanks Nonaparte, we needed this! But what's wrong with smileys? I like them, they let me express my feelings very well. So, is one smiley per sentence (like in this post) OK?

[darkrebellion]

Thanks Bonaparte for this topic because is needed . I think the correct grammar is important to mantain the disccusions understables (correct spelling ) that why I always check my posts.

Just don't exaggerate using them. One per sentence is waaay too much!

So it seems our friend Krabs didn't get the message I gave in this thread and still types like this is a cheap chat board. Too bad for him!

Yes, you are certainly doing your best to improve (and remain a member of Eurobricks).

Thanks but remember you are not a moderator. Letting others know how to behave is something for mods and admins!

[Dark Sword Ragnarok]

Thanks for putting up that topic, Bonaparte. It was really needed.

The sad part is, it shouldn't be.

Yah I know, I'll just tell them that what their doing could get them in trouble. I mean its great having so many people in this forum, it'd be a shame to see them banned.

"The sad part is, it shouldn't be."

I second that.

You're right.

But I don't have this problem. I know how to post, this is not the first time I have to participate to a forum.

While on the subject, please no more of this.

Marky is the next one to go. He didn't get the message and almost never uses capital letters, punctuation, ... in his (short) posts.

Oh, I love what you are doing, I am a linguist by the way and well, I like to use "1337 speak", but this is clearly not the place for this stuf. I use it on PC gaming forums, here I try to use proper English... And why not French :)

I agree. It seems a little harsh, but it is fair. I often get annoyed by bad grammar (even my own), although I can put up with it.

And why not French :)

Parce que l'anglais est la langue utilisée ici.

I think this message is well needed Bonaparte, thank you. Also I think we need to stay more on topic in the Star Wars threads, recently we have been going off a little to much but maybe I'm wrong (probably).

That was probably me and Dark Sword Ragnarok. Or maybe not...
